- MMM 230 - My wife asked for a nice tea box, and I was happy to oblige! This was my first time working with hickory wood, and what a joy it was to use. I was also experimenting with plexiglass for the first time here too.

I love everything about this box. You really combined function with aesthetics beautifully!
Thank you so much
I like the emphasis on the separation of the kid and box with the chamfer. Also nice touch with the foggy (?) plexiglass. Looks good!
Thanks! It worked to fix a slight alignment problem. Got to love those little touches that happen during the design process.
Your wife must have been so happy to see the tea box. I love it. I'm considering whether I can make one myself.
Very nice tea box; I like the plexiglass lid idea.
Moose is HUGE now!
Thank you very much. Yes, Moose is living up to his name :)
Gorgeous piece!
Thanks Doug!
That's a very nice tea box build
Thanks for watching!
So that's your holiday give away project, right? Yes, I'd love one! Seriously, great job. You are quite the craftsman.
ha, I gave it away to Bridget :) Thanks for watching Tom!
Great build Kris, hickory and purple heart look good together. Regarding the individual who did not like this style of video, remind him you are from Wisconsin and can easily send him some cheese to go with his WHINE!!!!!!
Thanks Thomas! I was really happy with the color combination of those two woods.
Beautiful tea box.
You're beautiful! Thanks for watching.
Looks awesome, great job!
Thanks Maikel!
you know what I hate most about this project? nothing! it came out great!!! nice work!
lol, thanks buddy!
Great Video, Turned out Awesome
Thanks buddy!
It turned out great! Neat video. :)
Thanks so much for watching!
Beautiful tea box. I was looking for an example to build for my sister and brother in law who live in England and are of course big tea drinkers. But now I need to point out safety. If you want to keep your fingers, start using push sticks. Take this from one who learned the hard way.
nice work on the video and the box! :D
Thanks Bat!
Very nice! I'm impressed! I don't like tea tho. Looks like a cigar humidor
Thanks Wes! If I smoked more cigars I'd definitely build one.
What a very nice Tea box build, it looks great. Could you do one for Coffee as i'm a Coffee Drinker ha ha ha, anyway a great build, my wife would love that as she drinks Green Tea yuk.

Actually, I wouldn't mind doing a coffee filter stand video next year. We'll just have to wait and see! Thanks for watching :)
❤️❤️
Hey Kriss, Lovely job on the Tea Box :) Looks great! What was the finish you used?
Thanks buddy! I used shellac, two coats, buffed down with 0000 steel wool and paste wax. That's my preferred method for finishing just about anything :)
Hope you had a nice peaceful bud. Been a little weird round here for a bit hence no comments..will get to watching the vids. Blessed New Year for all of your family's. One question; How did Moose do with the tree and presents. :-).
The holidays are a busy time, no doubt! Thanks for the well wishes. Moose did very well with the tree and presents. He never once tried to eat or play with anything. Such a good boy :)
Gorgeous tea box. What did you use for the bottom of the box?
Hey there! Me again. Did you use any sort of epoxy/adhesive to keep the plexiglass lid in place? Or did it just fit perfectly in?
Good question. I did NOT use anything to keep the lid in place originally, but I did go back after the video and put a nice little bead of clear caulk on the underside to affix it. So. Much. Better.
@@MidwestManMountain ok sounds good! I will remember this for as long as my days on this Earth allow me to remain on this Earth. Always choose happiness, never frustration.
Nice video. Would love to have the wood dimensions for the build. Clean and neat. Beautiful piece.
Thanks! Sorry I can't give you any dimensions - I just shot from the hip given the tea bags we had on hand. Happy woodworking!
I love the tea box! Just hit subscribe as well ;) Do you possibly have the dimensions, or plans available somewhere online? Would it be possible to get them for my own build?
Hi Jefferson, thanks for watching! Sorry to say, I didn't draft up any plans, nor do I have any measurements to share. You'll have to make it up, just like me! Happy woodworking, and thanks for the sub.
@@MidwestManMountain No prob! Thanks for the fast response.
With that much tea are you sure you don’t have some Irish blood?? Excellent job. 👍👍👍
Thanks Tim! It's actually my wife who is the tea drinker, and yes in fact she is of English/Irish heritage :)
beautiful work. maybe you can tell us more about the dog.
Thanks! That's Moose, our dog. He just turned 1 this month. He's a lab mix that we got from the humane society and we love him so much!
that's great.
and I like that name
Lovely box. I built its twin 🤔😅
Vielen Dank! Dein Box sieht auch richtig gut aus. Du solltest doch öfter aufladen :)
What are the box dimensions? What wood did you make the separator out of? How thick?
Beautiful tea box until you voomed in at the end I thought damn he has a lot of Trojan's .
lolololololol Well, I suppose you could use this kind of box for those too. Don't think they'd filter looseleaf tea that well though.
What are the measurements
i don't like the new style of you making something videos .... speak with us tell us y you did something in one way over the other .... i also could watch commercials from tool companies they are also in that style
Video styles come and go. I'm into this now but I may get back to talking more in videos in a few months again.
MidwestManMountain Home & Garden DIY these are your videos, you go with the style you want. I like them.
Thanks, Rick!
3:05 There are much safer ways to do this operation.........I’m not a safety Nazi by any means but this is bad technique.
So many dangerous cuts on the table saw. Use the proper tools
