Nice to see a propper craft man. Not just power tool operator
Thank you.
Very well done indeed. I just finished a simple box for my dial caliper and wanted to make a wooden hinge. Your design is very simple yet functional. I love it. I will attempt your style for my project. Thank you so much for sharing this. Looking forward to more. Cheers!
Hi Kevin. I'm glad you found the video helpful, best of luck with your project.
Looks really nice. I will try the wooden hinge.
Go for it!
lovely box, well explained, really like the inlay on the lid, thanks
Thank you very much. I was pleased with the effect then inlay gives.
Tank for the video
Hi, not usually one for watching longish videos but this was excellent. It was really nice to see how the box developed into the finished item. Nice calm video without annoying music. And I learned something new. Thanks
Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I know long videos aren't for everyone so its good to hear you got something useful out of it.
Very nice!
Thanks!
I like the thumb lift on the front of the lid. Nice project, very attractive.
Thank you, thats a modification that came to me on my second build.
Nice work
Thank you Brian.
That looks great
Thanks you.
Hi there good sir, Just found your site and I am pleasantly impressed with your box as well as your calm and informative manner. I am going to look and see if you have other projects. I have subscribed and ticked the bell. I do hope you have posted other projects. It is also a breath of fresh air to see mainly hand tools being used.
Thanks for your kind comments. I have posted a few other projects and have more coming soon. If you have the time and patience, you may like this one - ua-cam.com/video/W5f_OrN30-M/v-deo.html it is also made mostly with hand tools.
Beautiful!
Thank you.
nice job, that's a cool looking box. i really like the design of the hinge.
Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to say you like it.
Soooo nice, dude! You are the bomb!
Thank you kindly.
Nice project. I would add another light source to help eliminate the shadow on the piece while working.
Thanks for the feedback. Yes, my current lighting solution is a bit of a bodge but I have have plans to improve things soon.
Another excellent video. Great project. Enjoyable to watch. One suggestion, though. I have found that instead of cleaning a rabbet with a chisel, I now use a shoulder plane. (Which is a chisel held in a steel body). I get a more consistent and even rabbet with a shoulder plane. Only a suggestion. PS: What is in Danish Oil?
Thank you again for your feedback. Thanks for the tool recommendation, I am yet to acquire a shoulder plane but hope to rectify that soon. I have a number of projects which would benefit from such a tool and I always like revisiting processes to try alternatives with new techniques and tools. Danish oil is a general term for a range of formulations of hard drying finishing oil. Many manufactures produce a 'Danish Oil', although the ingredients differ substantially, however they all consist of a mix of oil and varnish. I favour the Rustins brand, but that is mostly because that is what I have got used to over the years, I'm sure other woodworkers have their favourites too.
You are welcome. My Veritas medium shoulder plane is a wonderful tool. Not too expensive but saving time and making the joint clean was more important. I ask about the Danish oil since I am so allergic to Linseed oil. Some Danish oils have that in it also. I am looking for the alternative to Linseed oil. So far, Mineral oil and paste wax are my current finish. Lacquer and Shellac are ok but the weather prevents me from finishing outside. Too cold for the finishes to set up.
Hi Bruce, I'm sorry for the delay, I didn't see your 2nd comment. As far as I can tell the Rustins brand Danish Oil is Tung oil based rather than Linseed. Though as that is nut derived there may be allergy issues there too. Here is the product sheet - www.rustins.ltd/images/files/1135-InfoSheet-Danish%20Oil%20Leaflet.pdf
I sympathise with you regarding the weather, I've had several projects ready for finishing but the temperature has been against me.
Hello. Very nice build.
What is your impression on the Veritas, molded spine, saw that you are using?
Most of my tools are old, inherited or I've renovated after picking up 2nd hand so I have very few tools I have bought new. The Veritas saw was a treat to myself about a year ago and I really like it. The model in the video is actually the dovetail saw version though I tend to use it as I would a tenon saw for cross cutting when the job is small enough in dimension. I find it cuts beautifully both in rip when cutting dovetails and in cross cut. The handle is very comfortable and the balance is great. Sawing is probably my least well honed skill and if I loose my concentration I quite often wander off my line, but I find with the Veritas I can maintain more easily. In short, I'm a fan.

Good to know. I have been looking at it for awhile now. Seems like a great value.
Thanks for the feedback.
Nice tip: turn mistake into “feature.” I will use that...often. Thanks.
A lots of my favourite project or project features have been discovered after making mistakes - its a great way to learn.
Can I ask where and what size the rod approximately is?
Its 3mm diameter, I think I bought them in 300mm lengths
Adventures In T-Shirts Woodwork thank you!
As an amateur with woodworker, I typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement. Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness [Link Here== *TopFineWoodworking. Com* . I now work like a genius. That is great!?
Lovely project, enjoyed it but all that shadow is annoying. Thanks.
HI, Thank you. I've recently rigged up some more lighting in the workshop so hopefully that will reduce the shadows somewhat for future videos.
Plans by chance???
Hi Frank, sorry I don't have plans available. It's mostly in my head and the dimensions are decided by the material I have to hand.
Well obviously the lid mistake was meant to happen. Looks way better with the insert. Nice job.
Ha, yes it was all a cunning plan ;-).
This is an incredible worth for money [Link Here== *TopFineWoodworking. Com* ]. I have been looking for something like this for quite a while now. I'm happy there are opportunities like this out there. This woodwork plan made a clear presentation with regards to building sheds. Much thanks to you.?
