- This is a simple way to make look pine look better in my opinion. Yea it does take a little bit of work, but I think it's worth the time in the end.

How well do the glued miters hold up? I've seen you make a couple boxes this way. Thanks.
Pretty good so far honestly. I've seen several videos about end grain glue ups. There's one in particular where they glued up wood several different configurations. Turns out end grain glue ups are a lot stronger than what people have thought. Interesting video. If I can remember the persons name I'll message it to you in here. Thanks
You just need a bit more glue than normal on end grain as the wood soaks up more as it cures because of the bigger gaps in between the fibres. I often add a bit of glue first to let it soak in beforehand then do the normal glue up process.
That being said gluing end to end with no joinery at all is never a good idea especially with anything that will take even a moderate load.
I recently did this with some not very good cypress that a family had bought for me to make them a kitchen table. They liked the result very much-I intertwined a few narrow strips of mahogany to make it look like it was all as intended.
Heck yeah. Wouldn't mind seeing a picture of it. Sometimes it takes a bit of work but I'm always happy I did it in the end.
Good job! Very pleasant to watch. You need better lights to improve the quality of your videos.
Thank you! I definitely do. Been trying to work on that. Lighting and hopefully soon, a better camera.
Hmm…you could try the kerfing plane to cut the top off. I’ve been thinking about making one just to do that job.
Damn. That's an idea. I made one and didn't even use it. Dope! Gracias.
@@Juan-hr7ol Whoa whoa whoa. A kerfing plane is basically a saw blade with a fence - when I suggested something like that two hours ago, you poo-pooed it. Discrimination! lol ;-)
Lol. You right. I guess it is. Maybe that's why I didn't use it. My excuse is my brain shunned it for that reason. I never said jigs were not a good idea. Just that I try not to use them as much anymore. Maybe I'll do a video to see what majority of people use them today vs not.
@@Juan-hr7ol…regardless of the tools used, nice build!…a box to be cherished for years….
Thank you. Much appreciated.
15:32 I’d be terrified cutting a box open by hand, potentially ruining all the work I’ve done to get to that point. Here’s how I would do it: get a saw blade and sandwich it between two flat and straight pieces of wood. Put the box upside down on the flattest surface you have and run the saw sandwich against it. Should result in a very straight cut. Or you could even just clamp your saw flat onto a surface with a piece of wood under it and run the box against it.
Oh yea it was definitely a little bit of a stresser but Ive been trying to minimize using jigs in order to speed up the job. Like for example I stopped using a jig for sharpening my chisels and plane blades. All free hand. But yea, some problems are best using a jig. Not completely going to abandon them. But I succeeded! Thanks for watching
@@Juan-hr7ol I get it, but I still like jigs and rely on them, I don’t get enough practice to focus on free-handing all those things - not the thrill I’m looking for, at least not yet.
@mm9773 Lol. Totally understand man. Another factor for me is my shop is tiny so the real estate is valuable.
