Nick it never gets old watching you work your magic in the shop,thank you very much for sharing what you love to do with us,all the best to you and yours
Good choice of woods Nick and some very neat work. I don't agree that it was too fast - at that speed I could run 2 or 3 off before lunch - it's only 11:45!
Man that's a nice box. I like the way you cut the short ends for the box top and then the long ends after you added the spacers, makes way more sense to cut the box top like that. And the piece of scrap for routing out the narrow mortise for the hinges, so many tips to pick up on thanks for sharing.
This is a really beautiful box. I think the only change I would make would be to flip the bottom panel (or to have the bottom panel just flat. I'm thinking that if you were to use this for something like pencils, they would often get stuck on the corner rabbets along the edges.
Hey Nick, beautiful, that salted really is something special. the raised panel look on the top adds a real quality look. I really like the crosscut sled used to separate the top. Great job!
Nice clean lines! I think the speed of the vid was ok, as it was a straightforward relatively simple build. It added to the entertainment value without detracting too much from the educational aspect. A good contrast with your other videos as well. Nice to change it up from time to time.
The ADD is paying off my man! That was fun, it was like a woodworking workout video. My little woodshop Richard Simmons sweating to the disco music. : ) Build it baby! Isn't it funny that unlike glass blowing or sculpture or so many other crafts, the only way we can make a project in woodworking fun to watch is show it at hyper-speed. The box turned out great. Laters.
Nice style change, loved it! I do like hearing you talk through your thought process, it helps me understand things like why you chose to split the ends on the jig and then moved to the fence for the long cuts? Thanks for making this!
I've been a fan of your work for sometime and that will not change. I like to hear you tell us about the process. Not a fan of this style video. The box is nice and very inspirational, makes me want to get out in the shop and make something. Keep up the good work!
Great video, Nick! Love seeing you change up the style. Your regular videos are awesome, but sometimes it's fun to break away from the norm and see a cool video of someone just out enjoying the time they're spending in the shop. I'd love to see more!
That spalted wood is beautiful Nick, nice job. Question for ya. Can you do a short video on how to make the miter cuts to fit around the top and bottom of the box. I am having a fit trying to fit miters around some lithophanes I have done. You do a great job explaining in your videos so maybe it could help me and some others. Thanks.
thanks Marc - maybe at some point but I didn't do anything special in this one with the corners - I just cut 2 pairs of equal length pieces w/ 45's on each end - was that what you were referring to?
I just finishing up a pencil box (sliding lid) for my wife's birthday. The lid is figured walnut with maple sides. I did a test on the walnut (scrap)... to use Spray Lacquer or wipe on poly. Spray was so much easier, but I didn't feel I could control any clumping (that might happen) into the slide groove. So I opted for the wipe on poly. My test though, I didn't see much difference visually.
Beautiful box. Spalted maple and walnut look great together. As I've seen the other comments and your replies, I'm not a huge fan of the edit style. It takes away from your usual high quality. But I guess seeing the build was better than nothing for such a nice box.
I didn’t really go off any particular sizes but I’d say the top and bottom were probably 1/2” thick and the box was probably 10” wide, 4-5” deep and 4” tall
Hey Nick, can you help me? i need to make a sled for my Ryobi table saw. The problem is no one sells the runners for the miter slots. I thought you will be the only one who could.
Yep, too fast to follow. The first time you do something repetitive show it at normal speed, preferably with some explanation of what you are doing and why. The repetitions can be shown about 4x as fast.
Nice project Nick. I always love the combination of Spalted Maple and Walnut. Couple quick questions. You "separated" box half on your table saw jig and half just using the fence. If you had to do it again would you do same or just use the fence? Lastly, when you open the box and see the amount of rabbet that is shown in the maple panel, was that what you were going for? (to my eye it seems a little larger). Thanks much!
thank you Chet - I'd probably do it again like that - when it was up on end it just seemed more stable that way - the rabbet was left large intentionally just for a different design element - boxes are a dime a dozen so I try and mix up some of the features every time I make one
Lovely piece. I don't really care for the super-fast-forward all the way through, but it's better than no video if thats the only way you wave time to share it ;)
Prefer talking through the project over a music video, but still a gorgeous piece
I hear ya - thanks!
Nice, Nick! Love the way you cut the ends first then wedged and taped them. I have a box build coming up I'll try that out. Great grain on that top.
Thanks Brad!
Good project for sure. The contrasts in the wood make the box look great.
always appreciated Kelly!
Purty box, Nick. I like the combo of walnut and spalted maple.
thank you Sean!
Nice Nick.
I never would have imagined that you could go almost five minutes and never say a word. :-) JimE
hahaha - it was tough
The wood choices are excellent for this box - makes it simple yet stunning =)
much appreciated - thanks for commenting!
Nick it never gets old watching you work your magic in the shop,thank you very much for sharing what you love to do with us,all the best to you and yours
much appreciated man!
Nice. Great tape trick to catch the glue squeeze inside box.
+MySaw thanks, works pretty nice as long as you don't let the glue harden too much
The Splatted Maple really adds a nice look.
Thanks - I dig it too
real nice Nick, love the look of the Spalted Maple
much thanks man!
Can't wait for the long version, probably informative.
Very nice box Nick! Liked this video style as well!!!!
thanks B!
Good choice of woods Nick and some very neat work. I don't agree that it was too fast - at that speed I could run 2 or 3 off before lunch - it's only 11:45!
woodworking power hour!

thank you - glad you could pick up some ideas!
Just gorgeous, Nick!
thank you Bruce!
Beautiful box. I know you wanted to enjoy the build. So glad you did the time lapse.
I really did enjoy the build Ted, thanks - I just hope the recipient of the box likes it as much as I do
Very nice build and that was really beautiful wood that turned out in the end.Well Done, Take Care, Barry (from England)

Yea.... I'm going to need you to wrap that up, put a bow on it and send it to me. Very nice box Nick! ;)
hahaha - it's already gone
This is a really beautiful box. I think the only change I would make would be to flip the bottom panel (or to have the bottom panel just flat. I'm thinking that if you were to use this for something like pencils, they would often get stuck on the corner rabbets along the edges.
thanks - that's a good suggestion!
Really nice work Nick!
thank you Charlie!
Beautiful! Really enjoyed all the detail in the video, a lot of good points in the process you followed
thank you Robin!
Such a great look Nick. I like the subtle use of angles on the maple pieces.
thanks Ben!
I love the look of that wood. Great job Nick Get a Passport and take a trip up here to Canada. Come do a show up here love to have you here.
thanks - I'd love to visit Canada again someday
Nick I thoroughly enjoyed the video!

It really was
Came up very nicely dude! Great work!
thank you
Liked this a lot. Thank you.
thanks - glad to hear!
Beautiful. Well done sir.
thank you - I appreciate that!
Hey Nick, beautiful, that salted really is something special. the raised panel look on the top adds a real quality look. I really like the crosscut sled used to separate the top. Great job!
thanks - I really dug the final look as well
Great tip with the scrap and tape when separating the lid. Thanks!
thanks Brian - works pretty well as long as you don't let the glue dry to rock hard
Nice little box, love the maple
thanks Jason!
Rad looking box! You may have just inspired two builds: 1 box and 1 new crosscut sled.
thanks Geoff - I am loving my sled - if you haven't see the build of it check it out!
Love the wood selection..
thank you Tom - I was pretty happy with it too!
Why does spalted maple and walnut always look good together?? Thanks for the video. Awesome, as always.
+IV Woodworking thanks man - one of my favorites for sure!
Beautiful result, awesome project Nick..thanks for sharing!!
thanks man, I appreciate it!
Great project Nick! Love the contrast, and I don't mind at all the different style video...variety is the spice of life. Keep up the great work!
right? and I like it spicy!
Nice choice of woods and slick job on the hinges
thanks Don - I can't wait to see what the recipient thinks of it
great looking box man!
thanks much buddy!
Nice build, beautiful box Nick
thanks Darryl!
Always a pleasure watching your builds. Beautiful finish. I love the tenon jig on your sled. Thanks Nick.
thanks a bunch Jeff, much appreciated!
Nice clean lines! I think the speed of the vid was ok, as it was a straightforward relatively simple build. It added to the entertainment value without detracting too much from the educational aspect. A good contrast with your other videos as well. Nice to change it up from time to time.
gotta mix thing up - thanks!
super cool Nick, nice work.
Thanks

thanks Brian - needed some shop time with a quick project
Most excellent Nick!!!
thanks Steve!
Nice style change, loved it! I do like hearing you talk through your thought process, it helps me understand things like why you chose to split the ends on the jig and then moved to the fence for the long cuts? Thanks for making this!
thanks - mainly to hold it up on the small end more securely
Good work man!
much appreciated!
I've been a fan of your work for sometime and that will not change. I like to hear you tell us about the process. Not a fan of this style video. The box is nice and very inspirational, makes me want to get out in the shop and make something. Keep up the good work!
thanks - yeah the phone time lapse didn't work as well as I would have liked it to
Beautiful box!
thank you!
That came out really nice, Nick! Thanks for sharing!
no problem, glad you enjoyed it!
Great box! I would have flipped the bottom piece over, so the rabbited edge was on the bottom.
thank you!
Awesome! I love the beautiful combination of wood types! nice work.
thanks much Joe!
very beautiful box the two contrasting woods flowed together great. keep up the good work nick. thanks for making videos.
thanks Brent!
Very Nice, that Maple looks awesome
much appreciated Mikey!
Really cool! Nice work!
thanks much!
Great video, Nick! Love seeing you change up the style. Your regular videos are awesome, but sometimes it's fun to break away from the norm and see a cool video of someone just out enjoying the time they're spending in the shop. I'd love to see more!
thanks Braxton - I appreciate the input!
Great looking box

Nice job on the box Nick as it looks amazing. I wish I could move that fast and finish a day's work in half an hour lolol. Thank you for sharing..
haha - thank much - wish I could too!
Beautiful !
thank you!
I just finishing up a pencil box (sliding lid) for my wife's birthday. The lid is figured walnut with maple sides. I did a test on the walnut (scrap)... to use Spray Lacquer or wipe on poly.

My test though, I didn't see much difference visually.
interesting - spray is easier for sure - probably my two go to finishes
Nick Ferry I could just see it build up in the slide groove and not know it while it dried. Just didn't want to take the chance, I guess.
better safe than sorry sometimes
Beautiful looking box! I really like the look of the spalted maple with the walnut!
thank you Mike!
Looks great!
thanks!
Excellent... Very nice...
Cheers...
thank you Adam!
very nice work and you are very good ciao nick
thank you!
Awesome work
thank you!
beautiful!!
thanks dude!
Beautiful box. Spalted maple and walnut look great together.

yeah it was this or nothing - I explained it more in the article - the time lapse was too quick for my liking too
Couple of questions. What was the overall dimension of the box and how thick is the top/bottom and sides?
I didn’t really go off any particular sizes but I’d say the top and bottom were probably 1/2” thick and the box was probably 10” wide, 4-5” deep and 4” tall
@@NickFerry Thank you sir. I am going to be using this design for something.
Hiya, just love the Spalted Maple. Inspired choice of woods...
Thanks!
Very sweet.
much appreciated Dan!
Great looking box Nick!! Loved watching the process in making it.
thank you Richard!
Dear, could you tell me what wood you have worked with? Congratulations! Cordial greetings from Argentina.
Awesome box man
thank you sir!
Very nice box!
thank you!
nice build Nick!
thank you Edison!
Build the box then seperate top and bottom .. I feel so stupid now lol... cheers bud
Cheers!
Hey Nick, can you help me? i need to make a sled for my Ryobi table saw. The problem is no one sells the runners for the miter slots. I thought you will be the only one who could.
You'd probably have to make some out of wood then
a little bit fast, but the box is awesome. ciao!
I probably agree - first time using my phone for time lapse but didn't want to scrap the video - thanks for watching!
Have to agree to fast, may be me.......... don't like it when there's no explanation to what going on in the video (no audio)
Yep, too fast to follow. The first time you do something repetitive show it at normal speed, preferably with some explanation of what you are doing and why. The repetitions can be shown about 4x as fast.
Nice project Nick.
