Yours is a gem of a UA-cam channel. Thanks for a video with no nerve-rattling music or other distractions, just a calm, soothing voice-over and a really beautiful box build. Keep up the good work, sir.
Great video! Not a lot of people have the guts to show a project online from start to finish like you have. The box is beautiful. You edited the video well, so it goes at a nice pace. Happy to see somebody else who is relentless about masking the wood and and wiping the glue to avoid having to scrape it off later. Bravo!
Thanks for posting. Very attractive box. You may not know that the indigenous people of the north west coasts of Canada and Alaska were making ‘bent boxes’ with this method from cedar for hundreds if not thousands of years. They were also clever enough to retain a thin outside layer of wood at the corners so that three of the 4 corners were seamless on the outside. Modern woodworkers don’t seem to do this.
Like it a lot. Good presentation so many people add some hideous music. Idk if it’s instructions video or crappy music video. Please do more. I’m really new to cnc and trying to learn. This helps. Thank you
My wife hadn’t felt good, at all, about my CNC purchase about a month ago. Then I purchased Aspire, which made it worse. I am huge into graphic arts and woodworking. Then, I came across this video. I showed it to her. She is finally warming up to the idea. Thanks. Be blessed.
Nelson Lackings, I’m happy that I was able to assist you. We have a few things in common, outside of your wife having some concerns, i could have written your comment word for word.
WoodDoormann we actually have even more in common than you may imagine, considering the makeup of those who more commonly populate this field sir. Thanks for responding.
Great video, and instruction brother. Like your box design and personification. I've been looking to bring my CNC into more of my box building projects. I hope to see more work from you in the future.
Elegant design, great hold-down technique and ingenious miter cut method. I appreciate the voice-over method you use for your presentation. Nice job on everything, looking forward to learning more.
This is similar to a project I have done with my high school students without the CNC. This video was great in seeing how I can adapt this project for the CNC.
Great video! Thanks! I've made many boxes using a similar technique without my CNC....mostly because my CNC is small :D But now I think I'll do my lids this way and do some more creative inlay. Thanks for posting this up and keep up the good work!
This is a beautifully designed box. Your careful attention to detail during the building process and finish makes this piece stand out above the rest. Thank you for sharing your work and processes brother.
Just finished building my CNC machine and found this gem. Very well done video with great explanation with what you are doing. Great video and thanks for taking the time to share your technique.
This is a great build! The finished box turned out beautiful. Some great tips with the indexing pin, or the one about sanding the pins with the grain. I’ve noticed that metal keeps the random pattern more than I’d prefer. Glad my friend pointed me to your video! Subscribed!
I did something similar a couple years ago, except more sides. I tried 6, and 12 sided boxes. I tried to leave a thin skin on the outside of the miter cuts so it could be wrapped up with no visible seams. But to get that to work I should have taken the time to set up a steam chamber or something else to get the wood fibers soft enough to attempt to bend so sharply. I tired hot water that wasn't hot enough and it tore. I believe it can be done with proper setup.
I really like the contact paper idea and how all 4 sides of the box can be folded like that. great job! nice work! I working on assembling my cnc machine and hope to get started soon. thanks again.
Very nice mix of technology and hand work. I like how you have developed processes to let you focus on the aesthetic results rather than wallowing in the routine aspects of making wooden objects. So many spend huge amounts of time on sanding away half of the last steps damage or cobbling up fixtures and work-arounds for things like the splines. Your use of masking to protect the surface while flush cutting is great. As others have said, it's also really nice to just hear you describing what and why, rather than the youtube copyright safe trite "music".
Nicely done sir, enjoyed this one so much subbed you as well. This turned out great, I love it. Simple. but clean and looks great. Thank you and have a blessed week Dale
I sure would like to know how you created your continuous lines. This is probably the best designed and creative boxes I have seen yet. The lines, the use of aluminum dowels and VCarved miter joints are genius. Please post more videos, we can learn alot with your innovative techniques.
Thanks for the video. I have use the tape and glue method. Never thought of contact paper for larger areas. That is excellent. Might I suggest a follow on video for how you did the CAD/CAM for this. It is the next hurdle once someone such as yourself shares a design that inspires. I am currently making some simple small lidded boxes, just to develop my CNC skills. ~P
I have to say your video showing the construction process is great, The box looks terrific. I just found your site and I joined and will be watching more. Thanks

M Crawford thank you very much
I agree fully.
Subscribed! Very nice work. Well described. Beautiful project. Inspiring.
I also like you didn't have annoying and distracting music.
I really like that you showed everything clearly and didn't waste a lot of time showing details that weren't important. I like the box design too!
Very nice work. Like the fact you included Aluminum in the project.
Great video! Not a lot of people have the guts to show a project online from start to finish like you have. The box is beautiful. You edited the video well, so it goes at a nice pace.

I've only made a big top for a blanket/toy chest on my cnc, you've inspired me to try and make a box like this also
I like the way you created and finished the box.
All I can saw is "WOW", you made it look so easy. New to this, so this was well worth it and very much appreciated.
Great project, great work, thanks for the idea!
Great job, beautiful work!

Great video! Beautiful box. I hope you make more videos.
Keith Pruitt thank you very much
What is the cutting depth of the 90 degree V-bit you used?
I really like the contact paper idea and how all 4 sides of the box can be folded like that. great job! nice work! I working on assembling my cnc machine and hope to get started soon. thanks again.
Nice video! I learned a couple things from it.
