    This is actually simple! Last "simple" box video I watched required a table saw, a router, and all sorts of fancy techniques with them - this is much better for a beginner.

      Seriously….., they all do!! When I got started in all this I got so frustrated with this as well. I couldn’t learn much because I didn’t have the “right things”. I think most people just focus on showing off what they can do versus actually teaching. And that actually goes for many things here on UA-cam. Nothing wrong with that, though.

      My "top" was a DIY video where the guy said "and now we just need to weld these pieces together" and pulls out argon welding machine.
      And the part itself is something you could by for 10 bucks MAX at the home depot (Leroy Merlin)

    All I need to do is make a simple box that will hold the inverter I am installing next to my battery on my Trailer. I don't need dovetails or 45 degree sides as I only have a jigsaw. After 30 minutes of boxes being made by people with $20,000 work shops I came across this video. I don't normally work with wood so this was a big help to get the beginning process started. Thank you. I'll figure out a hinge and lid on the fly :) Thank you for the basics.

    Thank you for making this video and for keeping it simple. I am fairly new to woodworking and I do think that learning how to make wooden boxes is one of the best ways to start learning about woodworking. Almost all of the other videos on building a "simple" wooden box involve using a table saw, a router, a miter saw, and other tools. I have learned how to use my new miter saw, but I am not ready to invest in a table saw or a router yet. Your video - showing the basics of box building - and doing it with no expensive power tools - is great. I have subscribed.

    Am boxes using masonite as base with half inch sides my problem is I measure check then cut the four sides to fit masonite bottom on top of square frame, and it always either too small or too big.
    They are only beginners boxes to put tools in but it's frustrating it's never right.
    Too big I put the bottom and cut the fraction off and file smooth.
    Too small I have to recut more masonite.
    Can you tell me what I am doing wrong.
    Ps I pretrial and screw sides and nail bottom only because that all I had.

      try measuring and cutting the two long sides first. then set them in place or nail/screw them in place. then measure for the two short sides. it is always going to be very hard to measure and cut all four sides right away. keep trying you will get it.

    Thank you for this. Question though, if I want to stain/ varnish my box, is it better to do it first then assemble it or vice-versa?

    Can you make one with a lid? How could I make that for this box

      I have not but you would just make it to the over all dimensions of the box

    How would you make a 11.5x11.5x11.5 box with a lid to use as an urn? The niche it is going to fit into is 12x12x12. I cannot find one to buy that is that size so I am going to make it. Also what would would you suggest? Odd request I know. It is my request to be buried with my dogs ashes hence why a normal urn will not work for me. Thank you for the help

    • @DavidsDiyReviews
      @DavidsDiyReviews  Рік тому +1

      U just have to do the same process but with your dimensions and if it’s for ashes and will prolly never be opened then I would just cut a piece for the lid that is the size of the box and nail it on. Also if it’s for ashes I would glue it all as well as nailing so that it is air tight

    Which kind of wood did you use?

    • @DavidsDiyReviews
      @DavidsDiyReviews  Рік тому

      I used poplar just because I had it but if your buying wood I would get a soft wood probability pine. If you did want to go hard wood tho you can but I still wouldn’t use poplar.

    are butt joints quite weak in strength? nailing into the wood grain?

    • @DavidsDiyReviews
      @DavidsDiyReviews  4 роки тому +1

      depends on the wood and the grain where your nailing. for the purpose of a box like this it will be fine. glue would also make it stronger however glue on end joints also isnt the best.

    I think you left a bit out, nailing in the first side so you have a stable side to nail the second, like how did you do that?
