This project seems like a perfect Christmas present, not too complex and requires only a few tools, but looks like a million bucks. Thanks for posting this!
Seeing how that came out it would look cool to have a few of the boxes stacked with oak between the sides and layers. I like the outcome and it definitely makes the creative juices flow. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful box, Marc! Just a tip for future projects that involve spray adhesive, put a little mineral spirits on the template paper and once saturated it will completely peel away in one piece.
I bought a band saw box for my son 15 years ago, when he was a few weeks old. It is an elephant made out of sycamore with a drawer in the shape of an ear, and a further four drawers in the body of the elephant. The walls of each drawer are maybe 3mm's thick. It is a beautiful piece of work done by M. D. Blakebrough in the UK and now I know what it is.
yeah - i am doing this project while watching his video, and i came to a rude awakening when trying to make the inner radius cuts without any overshoot. it's pretty hard to make a change of direction and lock right in on another straight line -- and the thing that makes it hard is how thick the stack is, so it's kind of tough to practice without wasting a lot of valuable stock. so i'm telling myself that funky curves and drawer shapes is "what i meant to do" :)
wow that's great, now i will have to go and buy a thinner bandsaw blade so i can try this stuff out.. its amazing what you can do when you know the tricks.
Thumbs up for the very informative video. Cool to see how they’re made but just one of those things I could never get into. Loved the Deadpool one though so I guess I like organic shapes in that context.
Great demonstration Marc. While I’m not a fan of using sapwood when using walnut I liked the way you used it for this box. I watched your other bandsaw box video but this one looks better for someone like me who hasn’t made one. Now I just have to add one to my list of projects to do list.
I want to try and make a trapezoid box which is too large for this method; but not sure if mitres/bevel joints will be strong enough so maybe finger/box joints would be better? It needs to be strong as it is a cabinet for a heavy audio chassis and will have a handle on top to carry it around. Basically its 26" wide at base, 22" wide top and 7.5" tall and 8" deep. The sloping sides are about 110 degrees. I will use either 1/2" or 3/8" ply or pine perhaps. In the finished box the outside corners will have 1" radiuses on the 8" ends and 1/2" radius on the long sides front and back. What would be the best/strongest joint method and something a DIYer could do? Bevels look simpler and I can add cleats on the inside, as the box will have front face panels and a slotted rear panel, so you won't see the joint detail on the inside. So should I use bevel joints with cleats and glue and scree, (or nail); or should I use stronger box/finger joints which complicates the job but makes it stronger? Thanks
Because you removed some material from the outer box and glued it back together, doesn't that make the box slightly uneven by whatever your blade kerf is? I would think that would make the box insert be tighter on that side and have a visibly different reveal?
Yes, that is exactly what happens. At least on my box, there’s enough slop in the fit of the drawer that that slight discrepancy makes no practical difference.
I’ve seen a lot of guys sanding off the template or peeling it off and leaving a mess. If you get a rag damp with mineral spirits and wipe it on the paper, the template will lift right off.
To remove the paper template wet it down lightly with some mineral spirits, wait a minute, and the paper should almost fall off. The glue residue can be wiped off with some mineral spirits on a piece of paper towel.
Great video! I just made The Tennessee Box from David’s excellent book. How thin is the blade you used for the inside cuts? Looks like 1/8” but I had a very hard time finding blades that are under 1/4” in lengths longer than 144”.
Thanks. I have a Laguna 18BX so need a 12’ blade and no one seems to make the blades smaller than 1/4” that long. I finally found a company that would custom weld one but still haven’t found a 1/8” one. I’m guessing just too easy for it to snap.
I'm not sure of brands but you would definitely want something smaller to make those tight cuts. If you see his blade when it stops its only about 1/4in wide. If you used a blade that is 1/2 wide you would have a hell of a time making the turns. Hope that helps!
@@daveklein2826 let me clarify...2:18. It looks like the front bearing is actually beyond the kerf of the blade. Could be optics but seems wrong to me.
@@daveklein2826 I don't have Carters on my bandsaws but I am well familiar with their line. Are you making reference to their sidebearingless thin blade guide (with just the grooved radially oriented thrust bearing)?
This little band saw has turned out to be the best tool purchase I've ever made ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx5ZrqmYO2uJq_nuU8TopyWxVzn8vqmPUL Once doing the set-up as per the included suggestions, this table top tool has been my go-to saw ever since (8 months as of this review). There are few things I wouldn't attempt with this saw. It takes up much less space than my table saw yet delivers twice as much punch. I've used it to create slices of wood no thicker than an 1/16th of inch by using the POWERTEC BS900RF Rip Fence. For small shop projects this tool can't be beat.
Question 1: why not start the initial cut on a face that will not be visible on the finished part? The bottom/short side of the box for example. Question 2: at the very beginning, you're cutting off almost at least 1/3 of the blank you prepared. That looks like a waste of material to me. Is it a common practice in woodworking to have such a "safety margin" on material?
You should be strategic about where you start the cut. While cutting on the bottom is good because the long part of the cut is hidden, it's also making a cross-grain cut along the front rim, which is visible from the front. So you need to pick your poison. As for the waste, I can's speak of anyone else so I don't know if it's common. I was just throwing this thing together very quickly and wasn't worried too much about waste. But I can also say that you need to be careful about the size of the pieces you run across a jointer and through a planer. So I made them as short as was comfortable with those tools.
@@woodwhisperer So, cutting on the bottom of the side face seems like a good compromise, doesn't it? :-) As for the material, I understood you did that just for demonstration purpose, I don't expect so much waste for "normal production". Also, correct me if I am wrong, the excess material is useful to safely handle the part in the process.
TOTALLY DIFFERENT! Go to court and the other guy says "This guy copied my drawer on youtube and made money from it!" "but my drawer handles the other way around" Judge "INNOCENT" XD
No flock?? I love bandsaw boxes especially when I add flock. And Dave's books are awesome! I have both and have made all the boards and boxes they offer wish he would come out with a other bandsaw box book. #goodstuff #MmM
The one dislike this video has so far would only be valid if it was from the ghost of George Nakashima. (And then only just ) Go and sit down you Internet bores 😑

Nice quick demonstration. No fluff, no faff. Nice job.
What amazes me, is that even your practice stuff looks amazing! Thanks for sharing. I definitely want to try one.
Thanks dude!
As an English teacher I need to make a random compliment. I appreciate your word choices.
Bandsaw boxes, always fun and easy to do. Great use of odd scraps. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.
2:17 That bandsaw cut was smoother than a saxophone solo....
Brian Benham gotta be Coltrane 😂

Great first attempt! These really interest me. I need to get Dave’s book. Thanks!
Looks b...e...a...utiful! Great shout out to David!!
Great fun to watch - just got me an old band saw so dying to try this - many thanks!
Well it’s 59 times better than my first attempt lol.
Well done, good film.
As a hobbyist , I really enjoy the basics of working such as this, Looks Great Marc, Thanks
wow that's great, now i will have to go and buy a thinner bandsaw blade so i can try this stuff out.. its amazing what you can do when you know the tricks.
I like how the draw pull “floated”. Great idea

Good video with crystal clear comment. Love David’s book.
Nice to pull inspiration from David's designs. I like how yours turned out too.
That is a beautiful box.. can you please share what blade you use for these kinds of cuts?
Many thanks, Larry

You can put wax around the outside of the drawer so it can slide in and out easy and smooth
Nice work Marc, thanks for the info! 👍🏻👊🏻
🎵 Sand In the place where you live 🎵
👍🏼👍🏼
Very nice . I always loved those boxes so unique not one will be the same. need to try to make one myself
The box looks great. Love David. I haven't made a bandsaw box yet. This looks like a good shape for practice.
Marc, you make everything look so easy🤔😬
Can you make a video on hand saws? I've been looking to get a Japanese pull saw and a flush cut saw, but don't know what to looke for. Thanks
You know you’ve made it when the wood whisperer references your book.
Cool! I need to get his book.
Because you removed some material from the outer box and glued it back together, doesn't that make the box slightly uneven by whatever your blade kerf is? I would think that would make the box insert be tighter on that side and have a visibly different reveal?
Yes, that is exactly what happens. At least on my box, there’s enough slop in the fit of the drawer that that slight discrepancy makes no practical difference.
I’d think a straight through cut with two glue joints would be better.
My jointer manual says the minimum length of a piece of wood to be jointed is 12". Are these pieces shorter than that? Thanks.
Another million dollar workshop project.
Excellent presentation. Thank you.
Love the advice at the end!
That sure is a beautiful looking box
What did the rest of the shirt say, and where did you get it?
Really like how the sap wood stood out. Box looks great
Love the box. What size is the sanding disc you have?
On your bandsaw is the blade buried back in the bearings or is that just the camera angle
Nice Job. I enjoy your videos! What size bandsaw blade is best for this? Seems like you ripped through very easily! 1/4", 6 tpi? thanks
You have a good work very fantastic.
What is the best belt to make bandsaw boxes? I'm a newbie
what bandsaw blade width and teeth per inch will give me clean, smooth cuts on hardwoods?
Nice, me and my dad just made one with a secret compartment on our channel. Keeping things simple is sometimes all you need.
is there a link for the finish you put on this project? thank you
Awsome video. You make it look easy
The link for the bandsaw book doesn’t work as expected. But good lesson
What type of blade are you using to make that round cut on the inside like that?
What size blade please. That's a tight radius.
Did you change bandsaw blades for the straight cuts/curved cuts?
looks so simple, I need a bandsaw 😒 to make my own
I’ve seen a lot of guys sanding off the template or peeling it off and leaving a mess. If you get a rag damp with mineral spirits and wipe it on the paper, the template will lift right off.
I only have a 3 inch re saw capacity so I'm going to have to make a smaller box
To remove the paper template wet it down lightly with some mineral spirits, wait a minute, and the paper should almost fall off. The glue residue can be wiped off with some mineral spirits on a piece of paper towel.
Ha! Love it! So yeah, ‘totally different’ . 😉
Marc, you mentioned getting a bigger disc sander in a previous video. Have you explored that anymore?
Not yet. Hopefully soon.
Please tell me the shirt read "Boba fret."
What a *thicc* box
Nice 👍👍👍👍 cool you gave a shout out👊
how wide is your blade? 3mm?
Mind specifying the oil and varnish blend?
Looks like he was using Maloof Oil
@@johntherat339 cool thanks

I'm not sure of brands but you would definitely want something smaller to make those tight cuts. If you see his blade when it stops its only about 1/4in wide. If you used a blade that is 1/2 wide you would have a hell of a time making the turns. Hope that helps!
Thanks Gage! Ill try the 1/4”
Marc has it in his description
Hi ..
Awesome work Bro.
But can you make bookarc laptop stand for Apple...You will be FIRST ONE ON UA-cam TO MAKE IT..Trust me
Very nicely done. Your craft makes it look easy, but I suspect in isn’t.
Aren't the bearings @ 2:15 too far forward?
Nope
@@daveklein2826 let me clarify...2:18. It looks like the front bearing is actually beyond the kerf of the blade. Could be optics but seems wrong to me.
@@charltonwang not if you are using Carter guided
@@daveklein2826 I don't have Carters on my bandsaws but I am well familiar with their line. Are you making reference to their sidebearingless thin blade guide (with just the grooved radially oriented thrust bearing)?
@@charltonwang just go look at their website or UA-cam with Alex Snodgrass
tres joli !
Putting blue painter tape between the template and the wood makes removing the template so much easier...
Who has all those fantastic tools?? If I could afford those tools, I would not have to make wooden boxes!! I have a hand saw and some ply wood.

Hello,
very nice bandsaw box. I will in the future make a bandsaw box. thanks.
greatings from Austria and from my channel, Peter
"So yeah... Totally different." Lolol
Nice
Unfortunately, my 10" Wen would never make it through those cuts.
I think Chris Salmon... Salmonella... Salomone has that shape copyrighted.
7 minutes and already a thumbs down. These people are nuts. Don't worry about it mark you have plenty of real fans
Thanks Brian. Little do they know that a thumbs down also helps a video's engagement stats. :)
i'm checking!
I have the ultimate project for you... build a pool table.
красиво!

Marc, your technical terms are hard to understand. Template Schmutz? Geeze, tone it down wood ya'? LOLOLOL Great project, love it!!!
Whisperer, I learned from you, but this is so weak, you glue end grain :) not that I haven't :D
cool
