Mass-shortening of the piano hinge screws was worth the price of admission. Been faced w that hassle 100 times and never thought of gang-grinding them. New sub for life...well done mate.
I bought this as a gift for my friend ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxcZqgZ8Ynkiz5n_LxIWRlAicuzmz5kCHG who is just starting out in the world of wood work. He loves it!! There is a great section on different wood and what to use for what kind of job and a similar section for tools as well. The projects in it are things you probably would have a go at with clear instructions, pictures, videos and diagrams throughout. Great for a beginner/amateur wood worker.
This brings back memories, I made something like this 50 odd years ago while at craft school, we called it a sowing box. My mum claimed it as her own, and when she passe my eldest sister claimed it. As far as I know, she is still using it. Keep this channel alive, your doing an old man great pleasure.

This is phenomenal! I've watched it a couple times now, haha! I think I like the construction of the legs the most but I'm amazed at just how easy you make all the dovetails for the drawers. Also, I admire how much of a perfectionist you are in redoing the side arms because you weren't quite satisfied. Really love this project... it turned out beautiful. Fantastic job, Neil
15:30 Ok, that is a GENIUS way to get fasteners to the right length and I am ashamed I haven't been doing it for years. Pask I think you are actually an engineer disguised as a woodworker.
As an engineer, this was the first thing that came to mind and what I'm definitely taking away from this video! Brilliant solution to an all too common problem.
Still remember the first video of you that I've watched. You have had around 15k subscribers but i could see straight away that you are brilliant. Enjoyed each and every video you posted since.
I remember these being in folks homes when growing up and haven't seen them since. What a great build! This would be a great storage piece for people with smaller homes, condos or apartments.
My grade 7 shop teacher made me fall in love with wood! As a woman I've been told multiple times I have no business or smart enough to use tools simply because I'm a woman. Mr Rhodenizer was very supportive and I still have the pedestal table and shelf he taught me how to make. I'm 51 now and thanks to him...I'm reinventing myself by picking up my wood skills again. I'm starting my own woodworking business repurposing and refurbishing items to keep them out of the landfill. Currently I'm building a workshop and storage. I'm mostly self taught. Sadly, he passed away years ago so he will never know. I did run into him years ago and I was able to tell him how much I appreciated him. Thanks to people like him and Pask Makes...I'm learning so much. I hope you understand the impact you yourself had on young minds! So on behalf of others like me...thank you for teaching!
@PaskMakes thanks for the lesson and the tips! I appreciate the way you explain as you go and don't play music. That screw cutting idea and dowel cutters...brilliant! I love the look of it! Looks like it's not just your daughter who wants it...furry foremen! My only suggestion is either place fabric under the gorgeous lids to keep the dust out or fill in the spaces with contrasting wood or epoxy. Oh...and make another one for your daughter...lol. I love learning from you Neil...you inspire me to try new things and push myself to learn new skills. Thank you!
I was so excited when I came across this video. I had looked for a vintage sewing box for ages and finally was handed down one from a family member. Yours is so lovely and I hope your daughter treasures it always. This cantilever design is incredibly handy.
It is great to see all the things you make out of what would be thrown away or burnt as firewood. We had one of those but not as fancy as yours, my mum kept all her sowing items in there and we weren't allowed inside. It took me back years ago to when I was a kid. great build video and enjoyable memories.
Lovely job Sir.. Cutting those dovetails took me right back to school, when my woodwork teacher taught me the exact same method - 48 years ago. I have experimented with 'clever' ways of cutting joints using jigs and electronic tomfoolery, but when you get to my age, every day is an experiment - ha- ha. Thank you for the clear, concise and very watchable videos. I look forward to, and enjoy them all.
Thanks very much Gary - glad you're enjoying the videos! I have a book that was first published over 100 years ago with that method in. I reckon it's a great method and pretty easy too. :)
Lots of uses for that style tool box. Artist box, Sewing box, etc etc etc. especially if modified for portability with folding legs and swing down handle. Very cool...
Scrapwood challenge ... the one week idea that will not die :) I love it, and kind of hope that you'll get to season 10 the way Scrapheap Challenge did!
Very fine work. Thank you for showing the mistake and how you fixed it. This is exactly the sort of problem solving that we all need to know about because we are human.
I made one of these about 10 years ago as a birthday pressie for my GF, I used cedar and made box joints, I had no clue how to make one, I took photos in an antique shop, and guessed the measurement, I'd not done joinery before like this or since, she still uses it as a sewing box, I wish this video had been around then it took me weeks to finish but she loves it.
Every time I watch you make something from your scrap wood pile, I am amazed and impressed by both the beauty of the wood and your craftsmanship. I am sure that many have tried lesser projects and ended up with nothing more that scrap. You are a master!
It seems like such an involved process, step after step after step, with lots of moving parts.... but you've managed to break it down into a manageable feat! Awesome work.
Neil, this looks great! Kumiko is a rabbit hole I'm afraid to go down - I don't think I'll ever come back up! Looks great, always enjoy seeing your builds. -Davis
What a very handy gadget!! I did some sewing over the winter and I sure could have used this gadget instead of balancing my sewing box on my knee at the sewing machine, and then having to pick up all the stuff that fell out, and reorganize it. It's a good height and looks like things will be easy to reach from a sitting position, that is...if your child doesn't hide it from you!!
I've just started on wood projects after spending nearly 30 years on computers. I've made a few smaller items, as well as one fairly large piece of furniture (built-in for a 65"). Your videos are so detailed that by the end I have absolutely no questions and I feel like I could tackle some of these on my own. Not too the level of perfection yours have of course. Thanks very much!
Beautiful work from a very dedicated craftsman who knows how furniture should be made all we now get is plastic and bonded wood fiber which will only survive a few yrs . This piece of furniture will if cared for last for centuries.
@Ged Reilly Camphor Laurel is a beautiful timber unfortunately it 's an introduced timber in Australia and grows wild it's killing off all the native trees so it's classified as a pest to be irradiated, this means there is a LOT of it around and cheap to buy.
WE REALLY ENJOYED THIS presentation. me mum had a sewing kit similar to your table , a wee bit smaller colored mint blue made in plastic or bakelite , i have fond memories playing with it for hours some 60 yrs ago. cheers
Essentially the same operation as the one my mum owned back in the 1960s, obviously cosmetic differences but the same principle. I was fascinated to watch you recreate a memory from my childhood.
A really outstanding project using a sensible combination of hand and power tools. I haven’t missed a single episode since earlier times. Each one is a little trip on its own. I hope you keep inspiring us. Don’t change your style.
Just awesome - you do some wonderful work Neil. Interesting to see the offset kerf marking method for the dovetail pins - I've only seen Rob Cosman use that technique but found it works well for me, the few times I've had a go. Liked the hole drilling jig too.
One of the most enjoyable wood/making related channels on UA-cam 👍 No arrogance, no fame seeking desperation, no elitist tools/methods or attitude and damn good builds. I know, personally, total newbies and seasoned woodwork geniuses that all enjoy and learn from your uploads mate. Good job... keep 'em coming 👌👍
My mother recently inherited a box like this that was originally my great great grandmother's, and I've been wanting to copy it for awhile. Seeing this process makes me really want to give it a go! Excellent craftsmanship!
Functional art, that's what it is. This single video alone is packed with so much skill and wisdom that it's worth studying it - yet trying not to miss anything although you did a wonderful job documenting it.
The pride you take in your craft, and the skill you display, is incredible. Thank you for sharing your talents on here for all of us to enjoy. You inspire me to try making my own creations!
Really enjoy your work and especially this project. A beautiful job. And I appreciate you sharing your "fix" to those holes that where initially too loose. I heard someone say once that the difference between a workman and a craftsman was how they fixed their mistakes. You qualify as the latter IMO.
Your methodology and patience is that of a Guru. Watching you feels like learning by osmosis. All those dovetails, all those redrilled holes! Oh and of course a fine/practical piece of furniture too. Cheers Neil.
I know it's hard to keep saying "One of your best" looking through your back catalog but geez! You could almost extend the series to "Scrapwood / Home Made Tools Only Challenge" at this point.
Женщинам часто приходят интересные идеи. Я своего супруга постоянно просила сделать мне какую-нибудь интересную вещь для дома. Даже делала чертежи и мы работали над созданием вместе 😍👍 И правильно, что Джесс захотелось это себе. Хоть и маленькая, но уже понимает толк в вещах. Желаю вашим женщинам почаще получать в подарок такие крутые поделки👍😍
Amazing content. Though I must break it to you: you say you'll use this for remotes. That's how it'll start but gradually it'll be used to hide things. But great project all around.
This is beautiful. I think you should take a bit more time to take more shots of it at the end, especially after its in its final location and filled with stuff.
Fantastic video. I appreciate you showing and correcting the mistake with the boxes. You showed me how to back out of a mistake and not toss it all into the fire pit.
Great video as usual. I'm not a wood worker, nor do I aspire to be, but I love watching your vids. Watching craftsmen at work is very pleasing to me. Thanks very much for all of the time and effort that you put into your projects and for posting them on youtoob.
@@captainmorgan2307 With or without rum? No, actually, I've been in a lot of "actual" wood shops; three of which belonged to me over the years, and, yes I've commercially sold handcrafted hardwood cabinetry made in various of them, so I do consider myself knowledgeable. I'm curious why you don't consider his one? I do think, given the wood he started with it would take me about 18 to 20 hours. If I were to do a production run, then is be able to squeeze out one every 6 hours or so.
Letting glue dry and finishing coating often involve several days on their own, aside from the many hours (days, weeks for me) labour. String comes to mind !
I`m retired and have a small shop where I perform woodturning, create musical instruments, and some cabinetry. I have a shelf full of woodworking textbooks - but I found this woodworking guide, t.co/SGIXIPXR0z . The comprehensiveness of this book is surprising. It has decent coverage on every topic.?
You never cease to impress Neil. I've watched dedicated tutorial videos on making dovetails and you easily covered tips and tricks as well as anyone even while completing this scrapwood challenge episode! Also loved your landscape photography. Click Show More and check out his website if curious. Haha, maybe a cheeky steal by the daughter but you don't sound mad at all.
Un extraordinario trabajo, enhorabuena, creo que en los comentarios anteriores esta todo dicho. Felicidades y gracias por compartir tus conocimientos con todos los que amamos el trabajo con la madera
Hi Neil, great project! On the inside of the bottom box, a nice addition might be to cut thin pieces of cedar to wrap the inside of the sides. Great look, smell, and it would hide your woodscrews! Thank you for the great projects you do, I always find a new technique or idea watching your videos!
ive been in an apprenticeship for carpentry in germany for three years now and my masters couldnt teach me an easy and simple way to make dovetails like you could in about 10 minutes... great work!!
Thank you for keeping your videos simple and not over produced. You always have really nice and interesting projects going here. This was amazing to watch.
I have not even watched this video yet, but am super duper excited to! The wooden cantilever sewing box, for my wife, was *THE* first woodworking project I was looking to make when I started purchasing woods and woodworking tools a few years ago, but am yet to build anything. Do not tell that to my wife though. Not many videos (if any) on how to build cantilevered containers. Thank you so very much!
That is awesome. My wife and I were walking through an "antique" store and she saw one of those sewing boxes. She wanted but it was cheaply made 50 years ago and was not worth the money they were asking for it..... I might just have to follow your lead and make her one. Nice build.
Another great job Neil! I echo Richard's question as to the time for the project. I think those dove tails would take me such a long time by hand. I have done them on drawers before but I use the Porter Cable jib with a router. I am going to have to take a look at the video for those tops you used. They add such huge accent to the overall project. Thanks for posting this project.
@@1pcfred, I am surprised that you are surprised. Cosman's innovation is a truly great wrinkle on an old craftsman's technique. Obvious in retrospect, yet undreamed of for generations. The old technique can be seen in Joyce's Encyclopedia of Furniture Making.
1:30 saving the scraps you generated while making something out of bigger scraps is some next level stuff. That's how I usually cling to every single piece of Walnut, who knows if in need some nice splines or plugs soon.
Just when I thought you couldn't do a more intricate or complicated scrapwood challenge, you go and pull this out of the bag! Looks great, and the camphor laurel looks awesome when finished like that.
Mass-shortening of the piano hinge screws was worth the price of admission. Been faced w that hassle 100 times and never thought of gang-grinding them. New sub for life...well done mate.

Haha! :)
wait, that’s not what he said?
Adrian S it might have been, cats can be very persuasive...
@@PescarStangaci I think his wife's name is Kat.
Un extraordinario trabajo, enhorabuena, creo que en los comentarios anteriores esta todo dicho.
Felicidades y gracias por compartir tus conocimientos con todos los que amamos el trabajo con la madera
65% off the price? Sounds like the normal price is way too high...
Hi Neil, great project! On the inside of the bottom box, a nice addition might be to cut thin pieces of cedar to wrap the inside of the sides. Great look, smell, and it would hide your woodscrews! Thank you for the great projects you do, I always find a new technique or idea watching your videos!
Excellent work. Thanks for sharing. First time I've heard the Human Sanding Machine say something was a lot of sanding.
At 1:31 he's already setting up the sequel in the series. Very cool to keep us in suspense. Great video!
We learn more from our mistakes than out successes. Good job fixing the linkage slop ,that was very clever
Beautiful, man. I enjoy your videos. I also like that you are genuine and completely unashamed to show your mistakes while working through problems.
What a fantastic box! ....and, as usual, the workmanship is admirable and inspiring at the same time.
ive been in an apprenticeship for carpentry in germany for three years now and my masters couldnt teach me an easy and simple way to make dovetails like you could in about 10 minutes... great work!!
even tho some of your methods would make german carpenters scream haha... our safety regulations are very very strict
Brilliant tips on dove tails for a novice joiner - many thanks.
Thank you for keeping your videos simple and not over produced. You always have really nice and interesting projects going here. This was amazing to watch.
Thank you and thanks for the feedback! :)
I have not even watched this video yet, but am super duper excited to!
The wooden cantilever sewing box, for my wife, was *THE* first woodworking project I was looking to make when I started purchasing woods and woodworking tools a few years ago, but am yet to build anything. Do not tell that to my wife though. Not many videos (if any) on how to build cantilevered containers.
Thank you so very much!
That is awesome. My wife and I were walking through an "antique" store and she saw one of those sewing boxes. She wanted but it was cheaply made 50 years ago and was not worth the money they were asking for it..... I might just have to follow your lead and make her one. Nice build.
Valentines Day is only three months away. ;)
The world is a brighter place with your art and skills on show. Brilliant work.
your technique and style is one of the best ive seen so far out of thousands of woodworking videos
Another great job Neil! I echo Richard's question as to the time for the project. I think those dove tails would take me such a long time by hand. I have done them on drawers before but I use the Porter Cable jib with a router. I am going to have to take a look at the video for those tops you used. They add such huge accent to the overall project. Thanks for posting this project.
Fantastic job on this. I remember these old boxes. And also the small chests that they used for their thread and yarn. This is quite lovely!
I´ve seen a fair share of beautiful projects on this channel but this one has got to be my new favourite by far. I really do love it.
Thank you! That's great to hear! :)
Production dovetails, slick. Great project, nice to see scrapwood is back.
Yeah I was surprised the Rob Cosman method worked as well as it did.
@@1pcfred, I am surprised that you are surprised. Cosman's innovation is a truly great wrinkle on an old craftsman's technique. Obvious in retrospect, yet undreamed of for generations. The old technique can be seen in Joyce's Encyclopedia of Furniture Making.
@@leehaelters6182 I do not have that book.
He makes it look so easy. This one seemed jam packed more than usual with clever tricks. 2 thumbs way way up.
Brilliant.Love the kumiko detail on the lids.
1:30 saving the scraps you generated while making something out of bigger scraps is some next level stuff.
That's how I usually cling to every single piece of Walnut, who knows if in need some nice splines or plugs soon.
Truly awesome cantilever toolbox !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bloody hell Neil, you keep a bloke feeling humble. Such an beautiful piece of woodworkin'.
Just when I thought you couldn't do a more intricate or complicated scrapwood challenge, you go and pull this out of the bag! Looks great, and the camphor laurel looks awesome when finished like that.
It was more work than I bargained for! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Good tip for shortening screws 👌🏻
I am very surprised by the job you are doing, excellent work , very clean and professional specially finishing issue . Keep this out standing output.
