    Hey TH-cam!
    After posting a one and a half minute video clip this past week I received a lot of great feedback and decided to cut together a longer edit for you. Here is the longer edit of "It Starts with a Box". Remember, this is still only 16 minutes of a 10 Part Series. !! So just a fleeting glimpse really.
    If you'd like to know more information about my membership site, check out the Unplugged Woodshop website for details and everything else unplugged. You'll find 675 + episodes of hand tool only woodworking projects, techniques, travel and tool reviews. Six hundred and some episodes is a hell-of-a lot to binge watch!!
    So here's a glimpse inside this Unplugged Life series. I hope you enjoy it~
    If you'd like further details on this and/or other my other woodworking and unplugged life projects, check out the Unplugged Woodshop website for more information.
    And if you're in the Toronto area, come by The Unplugged Woodshop - School and Store. We're on Gerrard st East in Leslieville!
    Thanks for watching!
    Subscribe and share if you like the work.

    Long time not seen. Glad you are back on tube. It's already relaxing to "see" you thinking. I like your vids so much, no disturbing music, just the sound of wood when a plane or a saw gives it shape. 🤗

      Thanks- I've been running a 5 day class like this every year at both my school in Toronto ( The Unplugged Woodshop ) as well as other International schools in Germany and Australia. 5 days seems like a good amount of time.

    You definately called the split! So what did you see that suggested the split would occur? I see from the video, that you pointed to an area in the grain close to the top of the cathedral. Is that where a split typically occurs? So cool!

    Always a joy to watch you work, Tom.
    Did I see that right for the bottom? You grooved both long edges of a medium-width board then ripped it into two narrow boards and then crosscut each for a rail and stile?

    • @theUnpluggedWoodshop
      @theUnpluggedWoodshop  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You did indeed. Good eye! It's a lot easier to hold the wider board before the grooves go in-; ) Cheers Ethan! Hope you're doing well.

    • @thekiltedwoodworker
      @thekiltedwoodworker 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@theUnpluggedWoodshop I don't think you showed all of that; I inferred a little, I think. Yes, it would be more difficult to get the fence to settle on the board face while cutting grooves if the board were more narrow. I'm always looking for knowledge, so thanks for showing that. I'll use the technique in the future. I'm sure it saves a little time and also ensures perfect groove alignment between rail and stile for both sets.

    I am still trying to find the best way to fit the bottom into the carcass, I made grooves with some wooden groove plane and then fitted the bottom with no glue . I am just not convinced of the strength of the bottom withstanding weight when a heavy object is placed in the box. In my case a number 6 plane. And the wood movement of the bottom could also crush the box when glued...what do you think?

    Was that Shellac for your finish?

    • @theUnpluggedWoodshop
      @theUnpluggedWoodshop  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the question. First I did a seal coat of shellac on everything, and then wet sanding in between coats. From there the lid received a few more coats of shellac and again, wet sanding. After all of that I rubbed on a final coat of oil and will go over that again with paste wax when I return to my shop in Toronto at the end of next week. These finishing techniques are way more work than I usually do- sometimes I just rub a quick coat of oil/varnish and call it done....other times I'll build up a base coat and fill the pores of the wood beforehand. Paste wax is my go to for the final pass. Cheers~
