😄 Wow! What a cute idea! I need to find some grandchildren or great nieces/nephews so that I can imitate you. Thanks, Phil! You're always an inspiration!
Cute box that I am sure Lilly will love for many years and I am sure some of your other great grandchildren will want one too, well done and thanks! Cheers Al
Lily will treasure that box forever! I still remember my great-grandfather fondly, and he didn’t even make me a box! He let us play with a couple of his old cigar boxes and empty beer cans (Schmidt’s) that he had cut the ends off and sanded. Doesn’t take much to make a memory with a child. He and my great-grandmother lived down in Eatonville, and we always loved going to visit!
Well, Phil this video was just in time. I also am turning a box for my great granddaughter, and I needed some pointers and there you are. My great granddaughter is 4 years old. She needs hers for her earrings. Thank you so much for being there when I needed you. That is a great box by the way, so mine will be similar.
What a cute little box Phil and one I'm sure your Great Granddaughter will love and cherish for years. Hope all goes well in the hospital for you my friend. Cheers, Huw
I made similar boxes out of different woods for my grandchildren as well. I lined them with flocking and they are their Tooth-fairy boxes. I have made many as gifts for friends grandchildren as well. Great job, Phil. This is such a pleasant way to spend a Thursday evening. As always, thanks for this, Sir.
My dad in 7th grade made his dad a box with a hinged lid. When I was 5 I sat on this box on a step stool while my grandpa cut my hair. Both are now gone I’m 66 and have this box and stool. Some of my cherished items. Lily will have this for ever and it will be passed down. Way to go Pops Thanks for the show. Joel
Phil that is just the best piece ever! Made with love and a precious heirloom to pass down from a wonderful grandfather. It’s just the kind of gift to be treasured. I’m 65 and I have many special treasures my Grandfather made for me as a child. You are so thoughtful.
Very nice gift Phil! That will be cherished for a long time. I made a wooden truck for my grandson that I hope will be given to his son, grandson, etc. Thank you for sharing this. 👍
I sure enjoyed the video Phil. Such a fun project and I know Lily will love it. Gotta love quick and easy for sure. Been doing some of those myself. Take care my friend, Gary
Well done Phil, not just a cute little box, but a wonderful memory maker. I like it, thinking about trying one soon. Sure do appreciate your channel Phil, until next time... Dan
Well Gramps...Lily is blessed to have a great grandfather like you. And I am sure that will long be a favorite of hers. Beautiful box Phil and Happy New Year!
I love the box and the idea of the box. I have grand children (mostly grown) for whom I have made things.For my Lily, for instance, I made a rocking horse when she was very young. Envious of you having great grands :). I'm sure she will treasure it! Watching this on 1/9/25 hoping you're doing OK!
Hi Phil, welcome to 2025, I'm about 10 days late watching this great little project. I hope you don't mind if I make a couple of comments that may be useful. 1 proportions, remember The age old rule of thirds. 2 when fitting the lid we usually start with a slight taper on the tendon and when the lid starts to fit, it's easier to refine the rest of the fit. 3 your Sorby spiral tool, I think the more acute the angle the finer the spiral until it eventually changes to dots. 4 for closer grain match I use a parting tool made from industrial hacksaw blade 1/16 th inch, and insert a sleeve from same or different piece of wood for a tennon. Tooth Fairy boxes are very popular here and make special keepsakes especially from Great Grandfather. Very nicely done. Regards George
Phil happy new year. Love the little tooth fary box for Lily!!!! I have made hundreds for little acorn shaped boxes for people. Black walnut for the top and white oak for the bottom (seed) part and I always have trouble getting the right fit between the 2 parts. I'm sure she will LOVE it and pass it down. You are a AWSOME grandpa!!!!Thanks again for another GREAT video Terry
child toys made by neighbors and family are always the best. Let's just all be careful not to create sparks this week so we don't have any more fires. In fact, everyone should donate a buck or two if you can to the fire relief in Los Angeles. Many of the fire fighters also lost their own homes. A little prayer may help as well. Meanwhile, back to the lathe.🔥
Very cool! Hey, don't knock spirals -- as a budding Celtic knot artist, I know how much practice it takes to draw them. You're lucky to have that neat tool. Would love to have one myself...😊
Love it! I like how the bottom of the inside is kind of rounded. Perfect for a smooth transaction with the tooth fairy! Molar Holder? ATM (Another Tooth Missing)? Bite Bank? Tooth Tank?
Very cute........I also have a great granddaughter Lily. But I think she is like 11. Haven't seen here in 8 years as she live in AR. Anyway, love the cute little box. ❤ Happy New Year
Thank You Phil...Nice change of pace and creating a special gift for a special person in your life. Excellent idea "Gramps". I am sure Lilly will love it... First Turning Of This New Year 2025 😁👍👍👍👍👍...TM
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop I just watched from here at Virginia Mason. Hubby just successfully had two artery stents put in. Hope all goes well for you tomorrow.
I have one of those little whirly tools somewhere. Seems like there are two or three spur sizes that can be changed out. Might have to drag it out and reacquaint myself with it. Nice little video!
Great little box, not your trick but it turned out just dandy, your Granddaughter will be rate chuffed with Granddad with that one. All the best from a cold Lincolnshire UK
That will become an heirloom for Lily! I’ll bet she still has it when she’s 99 years old!
my grandkids all call me Gramp as well!
Thank you Phil!
😄 Wow! What a cute idea! I need to find some grandchildren or great nieces/nephews so that I can imitate you. Thanks, Phil! You're always an inspiration!

What great memories, Tara! Thank you! 😊
What a cute kittle box Phil . I am sure your granddaughter will love it . Especially from Gramp's ! We hope you have a great weekend and week ahead .
A tooth fairy box is perfect for your 5 year old great granddaughter. It really turned out cute!

Lilly is going to love it. I bet her momma will love it even more. You did a great job. I think I’m going to steal it. Thanks for sharing.
Nice little box; your great granddaughter will love it. The laser engraving on the top turned out nicely.
Hi Phil...
What a lovely idea and a beautiful little box...
She will love it...
Take care my friend and all the best.....Andy
What a great keepsake for your precious great granddaughter. She will always have something her "Gramps" created for her. Lucky girl!

You qualify for Great Grandfather status. Well done!
It's a lot of fun being a Great Grandfather. 😊
That was precious. I love this video with you doing something so personal. Lily is a lucky little girl. 💕
A Magic little gift for your Great Grand-Daughter.Phil.
Yes Phil, the little one will love the tooth fairy box!!
Thanks, Phil, she does! 😊
It is charming. It will be easier than reaching under a pillow. 😊
Haha, ah yes, the olden days, Vicki! 😊
Cute. Many years from now she’ll have a good memory of gramps when she holds that box in her hands.
😊
This is so cute! What an awesome gift!!! Thank you for sharing this with everyone! ❤
Prediction: This will become one of your granddaughter's most treasured heirlooms. What a beautiful act of love from Gramps. Excellent.
Ya gotta love “I don’t know what’s going to happen”!
LOL! Just tellin' as it is, Steve! 😊
Love the engraving inside the lid, looks like a big rose! A very sweet little box
Really nice, Phil. I'm sure she liked it and will always treasure it.
Bill
I have two grandsons and you’ve given me a couple of great ideas!! Thanks Phil! I love it. Cheers, Rick
Very cool idea for a grandchild, Phil. You have inspired me to do one for my two youngest grandchildren. Thanks for the inspiration (again)!
They are going to love it, Greg! 😊
Oh my goodness, what a wonderful grandfather you are. Lilly will love this. 🙏💜. I still have quaking duck my father made for my youngest. 🙏💜
Cool memory, Beth! 😊
I sure enjoyed the video Phil. Such a fun project and I know Lily will love it. Gotta love quick and easy for sure. Been doing some of those myself.
Take care my friend,
Gary
Fine job Mr Phil. bet Lilly will love it for decades..
Well done Phil, not just a cute little box, but a wonderful memory maker. I like it, thinking about trying one soon. Sure do appreciate your channel Phil, until next time... Dan
I enjoy making little items like this for my grandsons on my 3D printer.
Cute idea, Phil. I'd never heard of a tooth fairy box. I have two great-grands reaching tooth-shedding age. I'll make a couple of these for them.
They’ll love them, Eric! 😊
Eric, If you do, it/they should go over really well at the county fair next summer!
Cute cute cute! Lily will love it, especially because Gramps made it just for her! Happy New Year!
Hay Gramps that's just a beautiful idea. Thank you for sharing. See you next week. Be good
yes a special heirloom -- what a great idea !
COOL, really enjoyed this one, knowing where it's going and the purpose. Thanks for sharing Phil. Hope you (we all) have a Wonderful 2025!
Well Gramps...Lily is blessed to have a great grandfather like you. And I am sure that will long be a favorite of hers. Beautiful box Phil and Happy New Year!
It is really cute. Perfect to put something small and precious in. I hope she appreciates it.
Thank you, Sara! 😊
That is an awesome little project. The laser engraving really made it extra cool.
I think that was the first time I saw you turn something normal thanks for sharing
What a darling treasure box! Well done, Gramps, and Happy New Year. I look forward to more of your wonderful videos. Cheers to 2025 and to you.

Hello Phil. Thank you for sharing she will love it..❤
That turned out adorable 😍
Yay! 😊
Super cool a pleasure as always😊
Thank you! Cheers! 😊
Sweet gift, Phil. Just a thought, maybe plumbers tape would give that lid the friction fit you seek.
Thank you! 😊 I only needed the friction fit for turning the two halves together. Now that it's done, I have the perfect fit that I wanted.
Very very cute box Phil! Luv it. Well done and take care
Very nice little heirloom Phil.
Cute little box Phil!!! 🙂
That is so cute! Good job Gramps!!

On tenon's that are slightly undersized you can always turn a small groove in it then fit a rubber O-ring. It'll hold very well that way.
I'm sure Lilly will treasure it forever and her children. Thanks again, Phil, for sharing with your UA-cam family

It's always nice to start the year with something special. 😊 Thank you, Tuffy!
The only thing I would have done different is turn the top tenon into a knob. She's gonna love it!
Hi Phil Way to go Gramps, it will be passed on for generations for kids to wait for the tooth fairy and enjoy.
Take care Bob
Thank you, Bob! 😊
I love this project. I will be borrowing this idea for sure
Very unique, I may have to try one.
Go for it! 😊
See you in the morning Phil
I'll be in the hospital but have a cup of tea for me, Huw! 😊
