Building a Maple Box then a Special Trick to Make It POP!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
- I made an heirloom quality wood box and it was kind of stupid easy to build! I broke it down into a series of small steps. It starts with the basic concept of a box. Add a few curves to give it a graceful appearance. Contrasting legs really give it something extra and make the wood in the body of the box stand out. The lid looks pretty fancy, but it’s really only a few cuts, and it really brings the whole box to life. But the real kicker is the wood grain in the maple. I made the grain really pop by dying it before applying finish. It’s a super cool technique that I highly recommend you try out.

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.
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.
Man that is awesome.
I have to give this a try.
Thanks for all the great videos...helps me a lot...
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.
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.
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!
Definitely with the handle !
Are you some kind of Genius? Love everything about it. The handle is dope, must have.
Definitely the handle! Beautiful box!
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.
You know, I just couldn't decide! I finally had my daughter decide for me. And she said that I should do the handle. 😂
Excellent video 👍 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thanks for posting it
Billy my boy you've done it again. Nice nice box. Great job and keep them coming.
I love building boxes that one is a really beautiful box.
Thank you for sharing it with us all !
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.
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.
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 LOVE the graceful curves!!
Thanks man. It gives it a classy look so we can look fancy even if we ain't. 🤣
Handle 💯 makes the box great but your craftsmanship makes it perfect. Much applause 👏.
That box is beautiful. And the handle is perfect for it
Great creativity and craftsmanship and great production. Thanks.
Looks best with the handle. Beautiful work!!
Beautiful box. Love the maple and wedge. Thanks
Absolutely beautiful piece, thanks for sharing.
Beautiful handle!!!!!
The possibilities are endless and I have made a few similar I really like it
Handle for sure!
Great looking box, thx for sharing.
I guess you could say "You've really got a handle on making boxes". Beautiful,Cheers
Well played!
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.
Stunning build.
So many ideas in one video. Thanks!
Lovely! I like it with the handle.
Beautiful Box... And my opinion, WITH a handle . Good job! beautiful work
Handle 👍
Very nice 👏
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.
Handle looks great! Beautiful box. Thanks for sharing.
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,
That little bit of dye really gives the box that extra pop! Thanks for watching!
Awesome. Handle makes it for me. Nice work!
great vid and I personally think the handle finishes it off perfectly. great job.
Love it especially with that gorgeous handle
Handle just completes the box, Really nice box.
Handle is perfect !
The extra effort to make and install the handle is quite worth it IMO. It just setts off the box! Nicely done!!
Definitely handle. Looks beautiful.
handle for sure, very nice box
I seriously like this project. So very well done.
I thought it was crazy when you said you were gonna dye it but i had stain in my brain and not dye, let alone thinned dye. Boy, did it ever come out nicely. Well done. Makes me itchy to try something similar.
Great classy spin on a basic project! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Nice work! You have a good eye for what works.
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.
Handle adds to the looks👍
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.
Love it especially with the handle!
Great looking box the dye really set off
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.
That’s beautiful. I love when a plan comes together.
Absolutely amazing! The handle is awesome! Fantastic box!
Thanks!
Handle! Beautiful box. Well done.
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 !!
That sounds like the perfect opportunity to make a really nice piece!
Handle. Keeps the fingerprints off the lid. Beautiful piece!
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..
🇲🇽🤗🇲🇽🤗🇲🇽🤗
Hope it turns out fantastic!
Loved this, great video, definitely stealing some of your ideas
Handle. Beautiful
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.
Absolutely gorgeous
That's a gorgeous box! Well done, sir. Well done.
Handle for sure. Beauty piece, sir!
I'm going to make this box as is, really like it. 👍
Handle for sure. Looks great!
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.
The handle makes the lid. Well DONE.
Your stain over the maple really made the Grain pop. Love it. Wilber & Margaret 👴🏻🧑🦳
With handle. Very beautiful.
Perfect!!! I’m makin’ 6 of ‘em. That dye trick is what has been separating my “nice” finished projects from the spectacular ones in the plan photos. I have always loved the Asian esthetic, and this box, with the curved side bottoms, those leg shapes and then the handle honors it so well. The handle is the cherry on top of the sundae. Am I gushing? Yeah…so???
looks better with a handle and the legs really make it awesome
Handle! Very good job.
Beautiful job!!!
Great job. And compliment also for the simple explanation
Nice box I like the handle 👍👍
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.
Your moving diagrams are the best thing on YT.
Definitely with handle, looks beautiful
Beautiful job.
Thanks!
Much nicer with the handle very skill fully made
I have been struggling with what direction to go with my post retirement woodworking career. I am heavily leaning towards concentrating on making boxes after watching this video. Great Job.
Very inspiring built, thanks for sharing. And for sure this handle !
Thanks for watching
Very very good explanation. Really enjoyed watching your workmanship, and thought pattern on how to improve a project. Keep it up. U dun GOOD!
You do awesome work, very nice
That box is probably one of my favourites. I've already made a "test" one out of pine, and it looked great. Next is Huon Pine and Blackwook
That's awesome!!
Beautiful.. and thanks for the detailed explanation👍
Great vid. Awesome box!
Beautiful box!
Thank you
Great work Nicely done.
Thanks, Phil!
That is beautiful!! Well done! Definitely needed the handle, looks absolutely amazing!
I might do a no handle version eventually to see a side by side comparison. But I'm thinking a handle was the way to go.
handle all day. Looks great
Beautiful! Reminds me of items found in Tut's tomb.
Beautiful box. Handle
nice design.
I like the handle.
Awesome background music!
Nice box.
