@@Beastie132 I haven't done a video myself but I can suggest a few good resources. Both Paul Sellers and Rob Cosman have great videos on hand tool woodworking that are worth watching... There are loads more, but those two taught me just about everything I know about hand tools.
On big lid of gluebot there is a notch, the red cap over the nozzle must come off when applying glue. It hangs loose. The red cap fitts on the top notch on the lid. 🙄😉😀
Greatly appreciated, brother. It's nearly impossible to find tutorials on "simple" Woodworking projects without using several thousand dollars worth of machinery.
Beautiful process and immensely satisfying (for you and the viewer). I love to work "without electricity" but it does have its problems. A cedar cot I was building this way - 88 mortise/tenon joints, 4 bookmatched panels etc., all hand cut, sanded to 2000 etc. and our son arrived 2 weeks early, well before it was finished. My wife bought me a Festool Domino system to avoid it happening again. Not long after, I was building a set of built-in drawers, all hand-cut dovetails, blind/half-blind and loving the process. My wife must have missed me on those lonely nights while I was happy in my shop so she bought me a Leigh dovetail jig system. I love to hand-thickness, sand to a polish and take my sweet time finishing my projects. Another pair of bedside tables was taking a little longer than my girl wanted, so she bought me a helical thicknesser. I'm currently working as slowly as I can on some hand-cut "bandsaw boxes" as I don't have a bandsaw... :-) Cheers and thanks from Sydney - Dave
I love this video because he doesn't need electricity or power tools. He doesn't need music playing over the important sounds that the hand tools make. Videos that play music over the natural tool sounds are almost unwatchable to me. This video will be on my playlist to watch over and over again because it's straight forward and no unnecessary bells and whistles. Thanks dk builds👍
I'm just starting my woodworking journey, and living in NYC, I have opted to go all hand tools, for now. Loved this video. Very well edited, showing us what needed to be seen without anything extraneous.
No background sound track. Just the sounds of a sharp woodworker using sharp and well-maintained tools to fabricate an heirloom quality box for his faithful friends in which to rest between tasks. Oh, and breathing. As God breathed into us the breath of life, so you breathed into well cured cherry a new life. I appreciated all that and more in watching and listening to your project coming to life. Thank you. May the Peace provided by the carpenter from Nazareth be yours. May the blessings of the Creator be with you, yours, and all those who love you and whom you love.
Thank you so much at last someone who makes boxes with hand tools and doesn’t play unnessesary music I really enjoy listing to natural normal sounds from a woodworker so nice thank you
Very late to the part here, but you've inspired me! I built a few boxes with varying degrees of success but your way of re-sawing thicker wood has a true lightbulb. moment for me!
Love the videos. My grandfather and his father were both into carpentry. Not masters or anything, but I was always impressed with what they built. I tried it for a semester in high school but it didn't really click. I'm wanting to give it another shot, but always feel discouraged when I think of my lack of space and funds for expensive tools. Was really nice seeing you build something simple yet beautiful with just your hands and basic tools, and I think that's just the sort of reminder I needed.
That's awesome, thank you for sharing Goats. My grandfather was the same way. Do give it another shot, if you are patient you can usually buy cheap used tools from someone getting out of the hobby and liquidating their tools. I've also had good luck at estate sales for hand tools. Best of luck in your woodworking journey!
You just set the standard for how all woodworking videos should be. No talking, just doing. I learned so much from watching you use planers to smooth out planks you sawed in half. I didn't think that was possible (I'm just starting out). Thank you for this wonderful lesson.
Good work DK, I was put off by many woodworking videos because they show off machinery instead of craftmanship. Yours is thankfully different, how real woodworking should be!
Thank you for this video. Excellent job. This way to work gives you a feeling for the wood which you must have, even if you work with machines. I love this way you show it on UA-cam. No stress. I just find it and subscribe. You and Paul Sellers are the best.
Great vid - thx! No frills, just the tools, the materials, and the task. Love it. BTW - technically, plenty of electricity was used: Brain, muscle, and all cellular activity, lighting, heating, and recording - and then there is this interwebs thing ; )
All the sounds that come with handwork are beautiful to listen to. Beautiful results, someday I'll somehow find time to enjoy making these sounds myself
Excellent craftsmanship presented in a superb video! No nonsense just getting to see you do the work. The outro reveal of the box was awesome! Thanks for the great content.

Have you done a video on beginner hand tools? I'm new to this venture and would like to really dive in
@@Beastie132 I haven't done a video myself but I can suggest a few good resources. Both Paul Sellers and Rob Cosman have great videos on hand tool woodworking that are worth watching... There are loads more, but those two taught me just about everything I know about hand tools.
Yes, Paul Sellers definitely and Wood by Wright
And Rex Kruger, another 100% hand tool maker/presenter

The red cap fitts on the top notch on the lid.
🙄😉😀
Good job, man! No music, no noise. No annoying intro. Just pure woodworking. Love it!
Thanks for the feedback! I'm trying lots of different styles and trying to find what viewers like the most. I'll try to make more like this!
No annoying intro...
@@dkbuilds yea the sound of saws is like asmr 👌
Yes exactly what Mike said 8 months ago. Pure woodworking
Agreed
Greatly appreciated, brother. It's nearly impossible to find tutorials on "simple" Woodworking projects without using several thousand dollars worth of machinery.
Great job, I’m fed up of seeing workshop full of expensive machinery which I don’t have. I’ve now subscribed.
Excellent! Welcome to my channel Bryan!
BUt this hand tools are also expensive xD
Those hand tools are super expensive here in Brazil.
Wonderful! I finally found someone who keeps it simple and uses hand tools!! And the video isn’t glamorous with music and talking.
Thanks for the kind words Jonathan! Glad you liked the video!
Well done, no anoying music, no screaming of all kinds of expensive tools, just hands, PERFECT
Thanks janeZ! Glad you liked it!

Thanks, Cedric!! I've been trying out different video formats and this kind definitely seems the most popular. I'll make more like this one!

That's awesome! Thanks for watching and I'm glad you found it useful. Welcome to your new favorite hobby!
The ending reveal was worth it. That was a nice touch!
Thanks Tiruga!
The best noise in woodwork -- that of a sharp plane making a full length edge cut! Great job, too.
Agreed, such a satisfying sound. Thanks for watching Ian!
The way you freehand straight lines is otherworldly...
😇

Wow thank you for your beautifully written thoughts. I found this process incredibly peaceful and I'm glad that you did too!
You are a True Artist.
Thanks so much Stephen!
I love the sound of that plane moving across the wood.
Thanks David, so do I!
Thank you so much at last someone who makes boxes with hand tools and doesn’t play unnessesary music I really enjoy listing to natural normal sounds from a woodworker so nice thank you
Thank you Harri, I'm glad you enjoyed the format! I'll be sure to make more videos like this one!
What Mike Dolganov said “Good job, man! No music, no noise. No annoying intro. Just pure woodworking. Love it!”
I'm glad you liked it Grab! I'll try to make more videos with this format in the future!
This is soothing to watch. Exactly what I need because I can't afford all those power tools virtually all woodworking channels have.
Awesome, I'm glad you enjoyed it Paule!
Exactly what I was looking for..no power tools... thanks for uploading...keep it rolling
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it, I'll try to make more videos like this in the future :)

You are great with hand tools.
Thank you Kyong!!
What an absolute joy to behold.
Thank you so much tea, I’m glad you liked the video!
I've watched this a few times over the last year or so of woodworking. I love the simplicity! No rabbet plane? Make it work another way!
That's awesome thanks Alex I'm really glad you liked the video! I still don't have a rabbet plane haha!

no reason for bad comments, excellent job!
Thank you thank you Shaukat!
Can't believe you used electric lights to see by, i'm so sick of this modern electric woodworking :P
😆
And the vacuum cleaner at the very end!
@@hugoblin7249 such sacrilege, in the old days we would just eat it
Not to mention the music in the ear buds!
Better than candle light.
Thanks for showing this I’m thinking of trying to become a small box craftsman but I live in a car so I need hand tool only working
Thanks for watching! And, good luck on your woodworking journey!
such beautiful curling saw dust. I need a large amount of it so I think I'll try woodworking
Thanks Hexi! Definitely try woodworking!
Excellent job, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching!
Been trying to find clear and simple instructions on making a box without shenanigans! Lovely video, thanks .
Thank you for the kind words! Hope you get some sleep soon! 😜
Love it . Simple and works .
Thanks so much ikust!
Great video. I use shellac and denatured alcohol method on boxes I make. It’s very natural looking on wood. Thanks
Love shellac!
Keep these old methods alive.
I'll do my best! 😇
Good work DK, I was put off by many woodworking videos because they show off machinery instead of craftmanship. Yours is thankfully different, how real woodworking should be!
Thank you so much for the kind words Ben! I'm glad you enjoy my style!
I love the music. Just steeel on timber. Fantasic!
Awesome, I'm glad you like the format James!
Appreciate the oldschool style, purist.
Thanks for the kind words JS!
great tutorial - I agree that there was no need for chatter. The music was the sawing to set the perfect mood. thank you.
Excellent, I'm glad you liked the format John. I appreciate the feedback!
Thank you for this video. Excellent job. This way to work gives you a feeling for the wood which you must have, even if you work with machines.

Thanks Colin! And I hadn’t thought about electricity in the human body… by that logic we’ve been using power tools for thousands of years! 😅
Box presentation at end of video timeline is great!
Thanks so much Khd, glad you enjoyed it!
Sir, can you please teach us for begineer woodworking with hand tools.
thank you sharing your skills --- that was beautiful to watch
Thanks for the kind words Ian, glad you enjoyed it!
Todo a puro pulso como los carpinteros de los 70 ahora estan extintos ,bueno casi , Saludos desde Ecuador
¡Muchas gracias Marcos!
Nice one! I'm gradually working my way through all your video's, and loving your skill and craftsmanship more & more with every one I watch.
Thanks! I'm glad you're liking them!
Best ASMR video on UA-cam
Thanks Jessie!
Beautiful box admirable skills with hand tools and there wasn’t a table saw took me back fifty years when my Dad used make his varnish .
Awesome! I'm glad you liked it and it helped you remember time spent with your dad!
You had the light on. Ahh got you there! Great job by the way!
Hahaha good point Cesar. Thanks for watching!
That was excellent.
Thanks Colemine!
"It only took me about ten times longer to make. Worth it!
" GREAT!!!
😂
Well done and well-made video. Thanks.
Thank you so much Hobbyist! I'm glad the time I spent making it was worth it!
Excellent! Only the music of creation, love it ❤
Thanks so much Adi!
Extraordinario, con tanta sencillez no necesitas decir palabras para expresar la madera hecho arte
Muchas gracias por las amables palabras Ruben!
Brilliant 🥳🙌😊🙌🥳. Thank you.
Thank YOU, BB!
Good presentation, action speaks loudest.
Thank you so much!
The ring of that double sided handsaw is everything!
I know, right? It's so satisfying to hear!
Great work. Congrats!
Thank you Raul!
All the sounds that come with handwork are beautiful to listen to. Beautiful results, someday I'll somehow find time to enjoy making these sounds myself
Thanks so much Matt! I'm glad you enjoyed watching (and listening).
Definitely have not watched enough of you videos on UA-cam. Rapidly becoming my favourite, the silence of the work is amazing. Really well done 👍
Awesome, thank you Simon! Welcome to my channel! :)
Nice job, nice presentation
Thanks, Howard!
This was so satisfying to watch. You've got a great skill set and knowledge of your tools. I look forward to watching more of your videos. Good job!!

Handy with the Japanese steel!
Thanks Domenic!
Very nice to see. Goede wijn behoeft geen krans.
Glorious. Love the bit at the end with the shavings revealing the final box. Good fun and turned out really clean.
Thanks Warrior, glad you liked it! Thanks for watching :)
Bien hecho !!
¡Muchas gracias!
The lights you used run on electricity :P
Haha good point Jeff! Maybe I'll try candle light next time!
This level of skill and craftsmanship is outright intimidating.
Well thanks, Martijn! I'm glad you liked it :) You can do it too if you try!
My thoughts as well, but it has als provided some inspiration to give er a go just the same.
Nice work, great video.
Thanks!
Fabulous, thank you. 👌
No, thank YOU for watching, Mary! 😇
Loved the reveal at the end. Thanks for the video! Very helpful
Glad you liked it Malak!!
Nice closing effect!
Thanks J!
Love the sound of your tools
Thanks so much Daniel! I'll make sure to make more videos like this in the future :)
Great video production. I loved your ending. Also appreciate the creativity with the lid using 2 pieces of wood.
Thanks so much Mike!
Yay 😁. Enjoyed the cordless build! That, and the absence of a ridiculously expensive shop. Right up my alley. New subscriber.
Thank you! Welcome to my channel, happy to have you!
Awesome video and box!
Thank you for the kind words, Woodfather!
Good job!!
Thank you Mauro!
Naturally, I like it
Thank you Chielo!

Sweet! Hands off to you! Beautiful job. Patience is a virtue!🌳🌲
Thanks so much Jody. I agree about patience being a virtue!
Simple and inspiring. Thanks.

12:47 Clearly the vacuum is powered by a foot-pump bellows. Ha. Great video!
Lol!! I knew I forgot something! Thanks for watching and commenting :)
Another fantastic video - thank you so much DK!
Thanks so much for watching Nick!
great project and handy box. I see allot of Paul Sellers ;-).
Very nice film amd lovely ending.
Greetings from Holland
Thank you Peter! Yes this box is very heavily inspired by Paul Sellers. Glad you liked it! Greetings from the USA
Nice video. You can tell a real craftsman from the way his Japanese saws go "bwoinnnggg" at the end of every cut 😁.
Hahaha I love that sound!
Some one watches Cosman :)
I also bought the 5 1/2 wood river. Instant sub. You're better with it than me ❤
Absolutely wonderful video!!!🤩
Wow thank you Chauntese, I'm glad you liked it!!
Awesome video
