I definitely prefer with the handle - even if it is not needed, it tells me straight away how the box opens. And it looks really cool and ties in perfectly with the overall design.
Like the handle a lot. I feel like it helps break the maple lid up some. I'm getting back into woodworking after finding so many ideas on YT. Just picked me up a bandsaw and pieces of an oak tree that was cut down.
This is a great video that covers so many different topics in one go! The curved legs, the dye trick, inset lids. Thanks for all the clear and concise tutorials in all your videos. PS: really dig the handle on this box.
Excellent video Billy! I sure appreciate you offering templates! I will be trying some of them. This is a beautiful box that anyone would love as a gift. I need to go back and watch again to find out the free software for making templates.
Hi...! I'm from México... I enjoy a lot your proyects. I love this box... I'll start building mine immediately.😁 Love your chanel..🤗You're a Cool Guy.. 🇲🇽🤗🇲🇽🤗🇲🇽🤗
It looks great !.I've been thinking on making a nice box for my daughter in law, and this one ....oh man...! You nailed! !.it will be just like the one you made. Thank you so much.
Two things that are awesome here, the tip about cleaning up the glue and the esthetic of the box. I am going to make this box for a Christmas present for my sister. Hey, that will check a box off for me.
Awesome box. I just saw your channel on TH-cam and you do fantastic work. This box is totally beautiful. I have made several boxes i have a incra position system on my router table and i made double dove tails box.. It has been over 10 years that i have made any boxes and i want to start again since i am retired. your channel inspired me to start back thank you.
Hey Newton, love the design and the finish of the box, you really emphasised the grain in the maple. Such a classy looking jewellery box, thanks for sharing,
Love this box and your method in building it. I am planning on building a keepsake box for my only Grand Daughter for her High School graduation next spring. You have given me some ideas I may incorporate into her gift. Now a sub !!
Yeah ... like the design ... the contrast in woods is nice. I'll try maple and walnut. BTW, yeah , I got my maple stock by salvaging a very large maple tree (over two-foot diam base diameter) downed in a storm on a friend's land. Have a huge stock now .... and more than enough to make your box. Thanks for the idea.
Beautiful box!! I love your style of presenting. It is educational to newbies like me without being condescending and it also shows great projects that do not require every whiz bang tool there is. Thanks for everything!!
The goal is to show my journey, what I'm doing, and why, with the hopes that it may help others. Maybe they learn something they want to do. Maybe they learn what not to do.
Handle. Genius, oriental influenced design. The Wenge sculpted "legs" are fantastic. I will try and emulate the legs as I have been thinking of corner solutions with outside contrasting wood.
It's a fun combo. A lot of contrast but by adding the dye it's not too stark of a contrast like it may be with raw maple next to wenge. Bright white next to almost black may be too much for some people.
Inspiring design beautifully made and finished. I would have used clear lacquer on the maple, but your finish brings out the grain. I shall make one in sycamore and walnut as I have both.

I make a lot of boxes and now you have gifting me a way to think outside the box. Sorry just had to
say that. Thank you so much. Julien.
Handle just completes the box, Really nice box.
Handle looks great.
Without it looks like a basic box
I've always enjoyed watching you think outside the box
Definitely handle. Looks beautiful.
Excellent video 👍 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thanks for posting it
Definitely the handle! Beautiful box!
Awesome. Handle makes it for me. Nice work!
The box looks elegant with an oriental or Chinese flair. Good job.
Your moving diagrams are the best thing on YT.
Lovely! I like it with the handle.
Billy, the box is beautiful. I'm glad that you went with the handle. Thanks for sharing the video.
There were so many choices and I don't think I could have gone wrong with most of them.
Handle 💯 makes the box great but your craftsmanship makes it perfect. Much applause 👏.

Handle for sure. Beauty piece, sir!
Handle adds to the looks👍
Billy my boy you've done it again. Nice nice box. Great job and keep them coming.
That is lovely. Your lesson did a good job breaking it down into helpful steps to build one. The handle was a definite thumbs up.
Much appreciated! I'm digging it too!
Man that is awesome.
I have to give this a try.
Thanks for all the great videos...helps me a lot...

Very nice 👏
Looks best with the handle. Beautiful work!!
Great creativity and craftsmanship and great production. Thanks.

You know, I just couldn't decide! I finally had my daughter decide for me. And she said that I should do the handle. 😂
Great looking box the dye really set off
I LOVE the graceful curves!!
Thanks man. It gives it a classy look so we can look fancy even if we ain't. 🤣
The extra effort to make and install the handle is quite worth it IMO. It just setts off the box! Nicely done!!
Handle for sure. Looks great!
The possibilities are endless and I have made a few similar I really like it
That box is beautiful. And the handle is perfect for it

Are you some kind of Genius? Love everything about it. The handle is dope, must have.
Beautiful Box... And my opinion, WITH a handle . Good job! beautiful work
Absolutely beautiful piece, thanks for sharing.
Definitely with handle, looks beautiful
Brother, definitely the handle! Looks amazing! It balances the box out in my opinion.
That's the thing. I was worried about the balance if I didn't have one. It was good without a handle, but it does give it that little bit extra.
Two things that are awesome here, the tip about cleaning up the glue and the esthetic of the box. I am going to make this box for a Christmas present for my sister. Hey, that will check a box off for me.
I guess you could say "You've really got a handle on making boxes". Beautiful,Cheers
Well played!
Nice work! You have a good eye for what works.
I made the boxes using your template. Awesome and had fun building. You got me as a patreon, sir. Signing up.
Absolutely amazing! The handle is awesome! Fantastic box!
Thanks!
Handle! Very good job.
Handle. Keeps the fingerprints off the lid. Beautiful piece!
Absolutely gorgeous
looks better with a handle and the legs really make it awesome
Deffo with handle, great job

That sounds like the perfect opportunity to make a really nice piece!

I really like the handle on it I think it’s beautiful
After seeing the finished piece I'm thinking the same thing, that having a handle worked out well.
great vid and I personally think the handle finishes it off perfectly. great job.
You do awesome work, very nice
Very very good explanation. Really enjoyed watching your workmanship, and thought pattern on how to improve a project. Keep it up. U dun GOOD!

Great job. And compliment also for the simple explanation
Handle. Genius, oriental influenced design. The Wenge sculpted "legs" are fantastic. I will try and emulate the legs as I have been thinking of corner solutions with outside contrasting wood.
Stunning build.
Beautiful! Reminds me of items found in Tut's tomb.
Very inspiring built, thanks for sharing. And for sure this handle !
Thanks for watching
this is super awesome - great work and video !
Beautiful.. and thanks for the detailed explanation👍
handle for sure, very nice box
Just WOW love that figured maple and what to say about that wengay oufff 😱👍🏼 Always excited to see your vids ❤️🇨🇦
It's a fun combo. A lot of contrast but by adding the dye it's not too stark of a contrast like it may be with raw maple next to wenge. Bright white next to almost black may be too much for some people.
Beautiful box!
Thank you
Much nicer with the handle very skill fully made
Beautiful
Great work Nicely done.
Thanks, Phil!
Handle. Beautiful
A very well-done and informative video.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers
Glad to hear you enjoyed it
With handle. Very beautiful.
Love this brother, I'm running with it, thanks for the inspiration!
Definitely with the handle !
I like the handle, its a lovely box and well made. we say in the UK "making the grain pop".
Hope you make more exotic type inspired boxes and other projects. Using elements of eye candy influences of color, grains.
Inspiring design beautifully made and finished. I would have used clear lacquer on the maple, but your finish brings out the grain.
I shall make one in sycamore and walnut as I have both.
Loved this, great video, definitely stealing some of your ideas
Looks really great 🎉
