I like the Shaker feel you created.

[@lesthiele4921]

Hi Matt that blanket box turned out perfectly, the colour used was perct as well, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia.

[@David.M.]

Thanks Matt!

[@BobsWoodWorx]

Love it, about to make a similar one for storing Christmas decorations under the stairs

[@MrGeroth]

Matt, fantastic. I’m getting ready to build a toy box for my great grandson. I think your box might be a pattern.

[@gedreillyhomestead6926]

Have used the cut list optimizer for years, its a great free app for getting the best use of a full sheet of material. 👍

[@frederickwood9116]

Have to start calling you the Duracell Badger or 18v Badger. 😅
Yet another nice little ditty project. Thanks

[@fumthings]

great tip about the cut list optimiser

[@benjaqsonworkshop9974]

Great looking box and nice dimensions. Could adapt the design for all sorts of uses. I imagine they look great side by side.

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic work, Matt! 😃
Really beautiful chests!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@monkeyboysworkshop]

Nice one Matt, they turned out great 🤙🏻

[@briansworkshop01]

Great job and video thanks Matt 🍺🍺👍

[@michaelplays2449]

Great video Matt !!!

[@erictheviking672]

I didn't think I'd like this colour but it looks great.

[@paulrowley71]

They look excellent Matt. I really like the antique pine top. I like your stuff because it’s straightforward and achievable. Even I could have a crack!

[@awantamta]

Very useful, I'm sure and very well made.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you very much

[@craigbirchall3748]

Nice project. I can think of couple useful ideas for one.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@DaveGDesigns]

Nice job Matt, I've used cut list optimizer before and as I don't use a lot of sheet goods it's a really good way to get the most bang for your buck

[@Badgerworkshop]

Yes it’s a good idea to save on waste

[@negotiableaffections]

Q) So, in your design work...what would you say influences the most? A) A tight corner on a narrow staircase! These are superb, Matt. the contrast of lid and chest is just enough to make them ultra smart. Well done.

[@negotiableaffections]

p.s. how does the cut list thingy allow for kerf thickness?

[@alistairstanger2940]

You input your kerf thickness as a variable to the calculation

[@Smithb83]

Really nice Matt! 👌🏻

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@brianpatmore8418]

Hi Matt, Very nice job mate, nice and clean as usual. Onya !

[@whyfearfear82]

Hi Matt, another great video. I wanted to ask though, with the track saw you use, have you ever used a festool one before and would you recommend the Bosch over it?

[@hly8837]

Nice one mate

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@andrewknots]

Nice job as ever, I like how the finish came out. Did you consider putting the chest on end for going up stairs? I was surprised by a professional mover doing that with a sofa to get it round the corner in the stairs

[@markhaynes6410]

Spot on video as normal ☺️
Just used my first boxes of Spax Wirox, bit disappointed as there was a white crust and even what looked like rust spots on the heads. Knocking on for 10% loss now. How do you find them?

[@lynjermey6423]

They look really nice. I'd like to this as a project, but I don't need one, or have any where to put one!

[@robertpearce8394]

I do that then end up giving stuff away. Could be a Christmas present.

[@Chris-ce9pz]

I haven't been following you as much I a should, where is your shop?

[@dougwardle2175]

I like those a lot, perhaps some antique pine bun feet would really set them off👍👍

[@staxo03]

It's interesting to see the track saw in action, but there don't seem to be any clamps. I'm intrigued, how is the track fixed to the sheet of wood?

[@tooljunkie555]

Mine has non slip pads on bottom of tracks so on plywood and mdf don't need clamps..

[@scottmclean4237]

No sanding or primer ?

[@dougsaunders8109]

You never use primer or undercoat when painting Matt, I guess you don’t think it necessary?
Box’s look really good with a simple construction

[@Badgerworkshop]

It all depends on the paint you are using

[@planespeaking]

Haven't watched yet, sorry but had a thought that you could use pocket screws on the outside and then cover with the fake shaker. Would be strong and go together really quick.

[@bigpete4227]

Tidy bit of work there.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@jyvben1520]

no feet on the boxes ?
