No, you didn't miss it, I didn't cover it, that part slipped on through, but it's pretty easy because all I did was put a small amount of glue on the base and set the box on top of it with a bit of weight in it and leave it overnight.
Thanks for having such a keen eye ...

Learned a great deal from your 3 videos. Thank you!
Question...instead of flocking did you ever try lining a box with felt?
Any videos on felt lining?
Well ... if you are in Canada, Lee Valley is one place, if you are in the US, probably one of the Rocker stores would be a best.
Thanks for asking ... great to have you with us

Colin, today I got my red flocking from Amazon so I gave it ago. I scuffed up the inside of one of the small jewelry boxes I like making and coated it with glue and put in a good measure of red flocking. I capped off the box and gave it a bit of a shake. I think I thinned the glue too much, I had some spots that didn't take the flocking. Well the box was a mess, missing spots and thin across the bottom. Hmmm, what to do??? In that the box was an irredeemable mess I figured I couldn't possibly make it worse. I grabbed an aerosol can of repositionable spray adhesive and gave the inside of the box a good spray and added more flocking material, capped off the box and gave it a good bit of shaking. The results were quite satisfactory. Just thought you might find this interesting. I've got a can of red oil based paint on the shelf. I think I'll try that next. I just hate the idea of spending $15 on a half pint of "special" paint.
Ed Waggoner Sr. Sounds like your figured out something new for us too Ed, I have not thought of using spray adhesive. I'm glad you didn't just give up when it was no looking so great, but persevered and figured out a solution. My first flocking job was not good, I think you have do do at least one just to get the feel of doing.
Thanks for the note Ed ... great to hear from you
Colin
Yeah ... it's kinda fun to finish a project with something different.
Thanks for commenting ... great to have you with us

Colin, you have gotten a lot better over the years. I am in the process of lining a jewelry box with felt and this video popped up, so decided to watch it.
You have a lot more confidence and your delivery is much better in your newer videos. Thank you for doing all that you do.
You're welcome, William. Thanks for watching... even the old videos. ;)
I have started doing flocking I can’t get the flocking even inside the boxs I used a glue brush to apply the Adhesive would it do better to get an even application by using a better grade brush or a painters brush
Where do you suggest you buy the flocking at a good price?
What kind of glue??
First time viewer of this channel, and I have to say, if this is the standard, that I do not understand how you got such a high subscriber count.
I noticed that you were careful not to show at the end the fact that there was a patch the size of a postage stamp that you'd missed with the glue on the red box (which is visible a couple of times during the flocking process, but that you realise you'd not glued, so you start hiding it from the camera.
Lot of gaps in the instructions too. You did too much off-camera. Show all the steps... all the steps... or don't waste people's time. Lot of sloppy work in general. The box you flocked in red looked sloppily done on the outside, too.
Dumping excess out would have been nice to see. Did you tap box or just gently dump out? Also, A close up look at dried finish project. But great info. Thank you
Greetings! Quick question: what are those small red and yellow triangular/pyramid thingies called that I see on your work bench? They are used to elevate projects off of the work surface for painting/detailing, etc.
I am trying to find them on Amazon but I don't know what they are called!
No offense intended, but why buy them when you can make your own? Scrap angle iron works good for large, heavy projects, or just cut down some wood scraps into a triangular shape for smaller stuff, etc. If you cut strips of wood at 45's from opposite directions to form a point (with any saw), you can make them any length you want, and any thickness you want. I have a whole stack of small flat mending plates that I usually use for setting stuff on while painting and varnishing, etc. You can buy them in different sizes at HD or wherever, and whether your projects are large or small, wood or metal, they work really well and have lots of little 'points' that keep the project lifted off the surface while you're applying your desired finish, and letting it set to dry. They are really cheap, and they will last practically forever. Why not be creative and save yourself some money, then put that money toward real tools, or future projects. JMHO.
What the flock!
Good job of sharing...I feel good enough to give my boxes a try.....thanks
oh oh, green flocking on one box...can it be dry brushed off?
Did I miss where you stuck the box and base together or did you not cover that?
Hello,
Thanks for your videos .. we have been enjoying them. I went to your website .. www.woodworkweb.com/ and tried to join the forums but I am receiving a 404 error. I asked a friend across the country to try also and he is getting the same error.

Looks really thin like you can see the wood through it
PVA glue, not PVC - mentioned just before you put the green flocking on. Great video thank you.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
can you mix flocking to make multi colour flock?
hello my name is Jim and I live in Denmark, I would just say thank you for a very instructive vidio you've made, I'm trying to get made a small woodshop but I lack the very tool so if you have something that you do not use or gone pieces so you may send it to me, I will be very thankful as I am arbedsløs the moment but hope that there are some that will help me start up.
Sincerely, Jim castle

I will post this for you Jim and if anyone has any spare tools, they may send them your way but to be honest, you will probably have better luck by joining a local woodworking group in your area. You will meet people who have extra tools or tools they don't use any more and are often willing to pass them along.
Another good video. How durable is flocking? I'm going to try using thinned wood glue on a test box.
Ed Waggoner Sr. Hi Ed, good to hear from you again, well ... I found out the hard way that flocking is pretty durable. I know this because I used in on a piece then decided to remove it ... or at least tried to removed it and made a real mess, so what I personally experienced was pretty durable.
Another point I found out is that if you are doing a large area, it really pays to invest in the colored glue for the flocking, so if you are using green flocking there is green glue for it. If you miss a small area when you are applying the flocking, you don't notice it with the colored glue.
WoodWorkWeb Thanks Colin, that's what I wanted to know. I'll probably start by using thinned wood glue like you did, if the results are good I continue until I run into a problem.
Thanks for the video. I recently acquired a re-finished jewelry box but the inside of it is felted. I wanted to re-do the inside because it is dirty, stained, and starting to wear away. Do you suggest I apply the flocking over the felt or should I remove the felt that is there? If I should remove the felt, do you have a easy way to do that? Thanks!
Hi Ashley, I would remove the felt, and my guess is that it will come away pretty easy (hopefully anyway :) You will then want to make sure the old glue is fairly well cleaned off before applying the new flock.
ALSO - depending on how bit the jewelery box is, I do recommend using the colored glue for the flocking, especially in larger boxes, the reason is that if you miss a small spot, when you use the colored glue it is less noticeable.
Have a look at this video too ... Finishing the Pickers Display Box - A woodworkweb.com woodworking video
Good luck with your project ... let me know how you make out with it
I have that coming up soon this helps
This four part series was a great learning experience for me. Thank you very much.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
Flocking not for me
I made a lap desk for a friend and needed to know how to flock the inside. Relied on this video for that. Ordered the kit from Lee Valley. Experimented on some old boxes using the glue from the kit, woodworking glue, and some spray adhesive left over from automotive work. They all worked just fine, but the spray was the most convenient. Masking the top edges is absolutely necessary as you say, also using lots of flocking and then some more. Thanks for the video, keep up the good work.
Thanks for taking the time to comment Michael, glad to hear the video was helpful. Interesting about the spray adhesive, I would love to know a brand name. I have some spray adhesive but I didn't think it would be up for a flocking job, but I would trust something automotive related.
Thanks again for posting ... I always learn something :)

Can one use TiteBond III? Will a good wood glue work ok? I am hoping so. I enjoy your videos, thank you for sharing.
I know they make color matched glue for the different colors of felt but I've never seen it put on with TiteBond before.
I recommend the color matching glue from the supplier of the flocking. If you end up with a thin spots it helps cover it up.
nice
Nice!
good video. definately worth a try.
You can get much better coverage by using the matching color glue under the flocking. Also, you really should be using a respirator as the flocking particles can and will be inhaled to the detriment of your lungs. Keep up the good work. A. Lynch, Florida
Just tape over projects and shake 100%effective
You need to sand the green flock off the outside of the oak box and refinish the Tung Oil.
