Now I’m gonna have to get some watches so I can buy one of those sweet boxes
Sure wish I could afford it. It’s beautiful. Certainly out of the range of a retired schoolteacher.
Love that you kept the sap wood. Get tired of seeing brown everything boxes. They look like house siding to me. Beautiful work.
Slick boxes. They turned out beautifully. Thanks
Outstanding woodcraftering!
Look at you re-sawing on the table saw. My hero.
They say that a hero can save us.
Mr. Parillaworks, those boxes are exquisite!
Simple yet elegant design, my favorite kind. They both look great! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Seth!
Again what a fantastic Project Sir, I looked the box for sale, very reasonably priced for your craftsmanship. Thank You also for the great TH-cam content.
Wow... What a beautiful work, John! 😮
Those are really works of art!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
John, beautiful work as always. I've been watching a bunch of your videos recently after learning that you use the dowelmax frequently, and because I have one on the way. Using the stop pin as your reference instead of feeling for flush with your finger is very clever, and a trick I'll be adding to my arsenal.
Spectacular job. I like your style and your channel 👍
This guy is awesome.
Beautiful & exacting work as always John! Those boxes should fly off the shelf! 👍👍😉😉
They sure do make some nice hardware! Matches nicely with your walnut boxes, well done :)
Very nice indeed. A quirk of mine is that I like the inclusion of sap wood on walnut particularly. It does make (for me) a more interesting result.
I don’t know the particular hinges that you used but I think I am right in saying that this style was invented by a guy called Andrew Crawford here in the UK. Look him up under Smart Box Maker. I have used many of his hinges and they are superb quality. He teaches how to install using an 8mm bit in the router table. Once you understand the idea, it’s very accurate.
I like the look of the lock - one to search for
Hi Martin. Thanks for the comment. I just looked at the Smart Box Maker site. Looks like some beautiful hardware. I’ll have to give them a shot one of these days. I think I’m partial to a more brushed finish but a client may prefer polished eventually. Thanks!
@@parillaworks Andrew is a perfectionist - I spent a couple of days with him making a box - which is by no means a criticism. He seems to have had considerable trouble finding a manufacturer for the hinges who will provide the accuracy and consistency that Andrew demands. It seems like that this issue is now resolved - I hope so because the “little guy” is having tough times.
cool
You do such beautiful work. Big big fan here.
Hi. I think hinges should be installed more deep into box? 9:34 Without protrusion on back side.
These and others from Brusso stick out slightly.
Very nice work. I’m impressed.
Great job John... 👍🏻 Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Bill!
would be much nicer, if the lit takes of the texture of the box
Beautiful work as always, John!
Manual skills, technique, elegance and class at the same time! Congratulations, wonderful achievement.
I always follow you, keep it up. SL
I have probably the same rip blade in my shop but just learned that sawstop recommends against using those blades with the protrusions behind the teeth since they can interfere with the brake if/when it engages. Just FYI.
Do you mean the dado set?
@@parillaworks no. The Diablo ripping blade, I think it was. News to me too
Top notch, as usual!
Molto professionale 🙏. Che legno è. Ciao 🖐️. Fabrizio 🇮🇹
Maybe you have a customer that wants to see the watch box in opposite colors. Box made of Maple, or Birds Eye Maple, and Black Walnut accents.. still with brass brusso hardware though..
thanks for your video! Can you tell me where I can Buy this Hasp Clasp? please
Weird how the ca glue went through the half lap joint when you hammered the pins in.
Yeah I saw that too..
@@karlvanlith878 very weird and neat at the same time. Porous wood I guess.
Great job. I make and use wood latches similar to that latch. Mine are made of wood and sand out flush to match my wood hinges I do. I'd love to send you one or two to try them out.
That’s a very generous offer. I would be more than happy to give them a try. Shoot me an email and we can work something out.
@@parillaworks Just sent it now John...thanks.
But the hinges stick too far out the back! They are meant (at least) to have the centre of the hinge pin at the back face. Or, if you chamfer the back corners, you can mount them flush. Proper job.
These ones from Brusso seem to stick out, same for their normal butt hinges.
@@parillaworks Only if you let them. Clue- the top and bottom of the hinge end are square- if they were meant to stick out they would be round. They are flush fit hinges.
I understand what you mean. Every photo that I see on Brusso’s website shows them not flush. And I use their official templates, which results in them protruding. I’m fine with them protruding anyway, it shows off the nice hardware.
Glasscutters work on the pull, I think. Maybe that’s why yours broke?
That could be it. I think I’ve seen them used on the push but that doesn’t mean it’s correct haha.
Absolutely shocked you ran those brass screws in with a drill lmao. Did you tap them with a steel screw first?
Haha ya they were tapped with a steel screw first. And I put the drill on a pretty low speed and torque setting just in case!
@@parillaworks When I tell you I panicked lol
I know you do a lot of boxes with hinges. I also like Brusso but the issue I'm having is when routing the motive using the hinge template I find it near impossible to get the lid, which has much less height than the box it fits on. So when doing a lid/box hinge how do you get the two coplanar so that the mortise is equal on both the lid and the box? Would you consider doing a video on that because I cannot figure it out and the is AFTER I spoke to Brusso about it. Their solution was to build a riser that is equal to the height of the box base and then clamp everything together. That makes NO sense. Thank you for your help in advance.
This was the first time I ever routed the lid and box at the same time. Usually I’ll do them separate for the very reason you stated. It can be kind of complicated to set up properly.
Lovely work. Very impressed with your dowel jig. Is that commercially available or did you have it made ? Cheers
Thank you! It’s called the Dowelmax, a Canadian product.
Nice work! Quick question… did you sneed to shorten the shank of the guide bushing to use with the Brusso templates? If so, how did you do that?…if not, which short shank bushings do you use! Thanks in advance.
Thanks Sandra! Yes I had to shorten the bushings a little bit. I used a hacksaw to make as clean of a cut as I could then filed it somewhat smooth. It’s not perfectly even but it works.
Question,was 5 dowls necessary for this size box? I’ve never used them. Seems like a lot.
Leaving the middle one out and only doing 4 would’ve been strong enough.
Like always very well done, congrats, which nail gun did you use? Thanks
Thanks! It’s the Porter Cable pin nailer. Probably the only reason I’ve hung onto my air compressor.
How much for one of these watch boxes?
Love your work!!! Where can I buy the jig template you used for the hinge and also whats the router for it? Thank youuuuuu
Thank you! The hinges and jig are from Brusso Hardware. You can use any router that accepts standard guide bushings.
@@parillaworks you are the best, thank you!!!
Where’d you get that waist apron from?
amzn.to/2NH4vlA
Pretty light and comfortable. Full aprons are way too hot in my garage.
@@parillaworks thanks! Appreciate it! Keep up the awesome work and making these great videos!
Where did you pick up the hinges from?
The hinges and latch are from Brusso Hardware.
How do you flush trim the brass pins?
Very light pressure with 80 grit and an orbital sander. Gotta be very careful not to roll over the edges though.
Pro tip . dont push the glass cutter pull it towards you
Dude, only 425 dollars?! That’s a steal! You should really be charging more for art like this
Nice work....Enjoyed the vid.Thanks. PS- I’m gonna start checking you out in Instagram
Thanks a lot Tom!!
