Building this wooden toolbox was a fun project! Woodworking projects like this, always provide for some interesting design challenges in the workshop.
I'll probably be asked why I didn't use the joinery that I've been making lately, I just fancied making some hand cut dovetails. I'll be using the Knapp joint and the square version in a project soon though.
That being said, I really hope that you enjoy watching this woodworking project - How to make a Cantilever Toolbox.
As always I'm happy to answer any questions.

Mass-shortening of the piano hinge screws was worth the price of admission. Been faced w that hassle 100 times and never thought of gang-grinding them. New sub for life...well done mate.
I bought this as a gift for my friend th-cam.com/users/postUgkxcZqgZ8Ynkiz5n_LxIWRlAicuzmz5kCHG who is just starting out in the world of wood work. He loves it!! There is a great section on different wood and what to use for what kind of job and a similar section for tools as well. The projects in it are things you probably would have a go at with clear instructions, pictures, videos and diagrams throughout. Great for a beginner/amateur wood worker.
This brings back memories, I made something like this 50 odd years ago while at craft school, we called it a sowing box. My mum claimed it as her own, and when she passe my eldest sister claimed it. As far as I know, she is still using it. Keep this channel alive, your doing an old man great pleasure.
how old are u today?

Sewing box, sowing refers to planting seeds.
My Opa used to make cantilever boxes like these, my mum's sewing box is one that he made and I was so fascinated by it as a boy. Love the video!

Ok, that is a GENIUS way to get fasteners to the right length and I am ashamed I haven't been doing it for years. Pask I think you are actually an engineer disguised as a woodworker.
As an engineer, this was the first thing that came to mind and what I'm definitely taking away from this video! Brilliant solution to an all too common problem.
i agree, i have done it with a dremmel or a hacksaw. supersmart.
What a stupid comment. As if people can be one thing and one thing only. 🖕🏾
This is phenomenal! I've watched it a couple times now, haha! I think I like the construction of the legs the most but I'm amazed at just how easy you make all the dovetails for the drawers. Also, I admire how much of a perfectionist you are in redoing the side arms because you weren't quite satisfied. Really love this project... it turned out beautiful. Fantastic job, Neil
Thanks very much Drew - glad you enjoyed it! :)
So far I've watched it twice. Not sure I'm through yet.
Женщинам часто приходят интересные идеи. Я своего супруга постоянно просила сделать мне какую-нибудь интересную вещь для дома. Даже делала чертежи и мы работали над созданием вместе 😍👍
И правильно, что Джесс захотелось это себе. Хоть и маленькая, но уже понимает толк в вещах. Желаю вашим женщинам почаще получать в подарок такие крутые поделки👍😍
Still remember the first video of you that I've watched. You have had around 15k subscribers but i could see straight away that you are brilliant.
Enjoyed each and every video you posted since.
Thanks very much mate - glad you had faith in me! :)
Gorgeous piece and very well constructed. Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks very much Jay - glad you liked it! :)
So glad to see you put the cutoffs back into your bin. I've been asked many times why I keep all of that "scrap".
One man's scrap is another one's primary source of material. =)
@@jessestrawbridge Amen! Totally agree.
I totally DON'T have a box full of dovetail scraps. Nope. ☝️😐
Awesome project, love how you show your mistakes, thanks for sharing!!!
Yes I agree. Nice to know people way more skilled than I am make a few little boo boos along the way....
And in the process he also taught us how to undo such mistakes that too in an effective way. Thanks alot.
Amazing as always. Next Episode: Pask Makes a fully functioning submarine out of scrap-wood ;-)
It could be done, with a literal mountain of scrap scrap wood.
@@vargr and perhaps some scrap metal to help it sink.
"... I could have done this step on the electric-whatever but decided to use handtools ...."
One of the first confirmed subs HL Hunley was made of wood and leather!
All together now:
We all live in a scrapwood submarine,
Scrapwood submarine,
scrapwood submarine.
=)
A breath of fresh air for this old shop teacher. Thank you.
Scrapwood challenge ... the one week idea that will not die :) I love it, and kind of hope that you'll get to season 10 the way Scrapheap Challenge did!
Glad you're still enjoying them Moz! :)
Now I miss Scrapheap Challenge 🥺
Neil, this looks great! Kumiko is a rabbit hole I'm afraid to go down - I don't think I'll ever come back up! Looks great, always enjoy seeing your builds. -Davis
Thank you Davis! Not a bad rabbit hole to go down though - it really is a very enjoyable process! :)
I remember these being in folks homes when growing up and haven't seen them since. What a great build! This would be a great storage piece for people with smaller homes, condos or apartments.
Beautiful result Neil. Love the curls coming off the plane.
I got the biggest kick out of your daughter taking it over and the puppies liking it too.
I've just started on wood projects after spending nearly 30 years on computers. I've made a few smaller items, as well as one fairly large piece of furniture (built-in for a 65"). Your videos are so detailed that by the end I have absolutely no questions and I feel like I could tackle some of these on my own. Not too the level of perfection yours have of course.
Thanks very much!
Beautiful work from a very dedicated craftsman who knows how furniture should be made all we now get is plastic and bonded wood fiber which will only survive a few yrs . This piece of furniture will if cared for last for centuries.
Very fine work. Thank you for showing the mistake and how you fixed it. This is exactly the sort of problem solving that we all need to know about because we are human.
This is beautiful! you are one of the best woodworker/craftman/maker on youtube! you inspire me on every project you make. thank you so much!!!
Thanks very much Norman! :)
@@PaskMakes thanks you!!! my pleasure!
Ooh... There is another guy with a channel here who is a real Metal Genius, but the Wood Genius regalia were vacant. Up until the day I came to Pask's channel. Now, it is resolved. I'm a USSR-made engineer/programmer and can know a genius when I see him/her. Brilliant work, Pask! Keep being great!
I made one of these about 10 years ago as a birthday pressie for my GF, I used cedar and made box joints, I had no clue how to make one, I took photos in an antique shop, and guessed the measurement, I'd not done joinery before like this or since, she still uses it as a sewing box, I wish this video had been around then it took me weeks to finish but she loves it.
Lovely job Sir..
Cutting those dovetails took me right back to school, when my woodwork teacher taught me the exact same method - 48 years ago.
I have experimented with 'clever' ways of cutting joints using jigs and electronic tomfoolery, but when you get to my age, every day is an experiment - ha- ha.
Thank you for the clear, concise and very watchable videos. I look forward to, and enjoy them all.
Thanks very much Gary - glad you're enjoying the videos! I have a book that was first published over 100 years ago with that method in. I reckon it's a great method and pretty easy too. :)
What is the reason for offsetting the board by a saw kerf width when marking?
@@HippyRandallRev So you cut into the waste. Then the joint has no gap. Theoretically at least.
You're among the best. You have the techniques, ideas, execution, quality that made me love this craft.
It is great to see all the things you make out of what would be thrown away or burnt as firewood. We had one of those but not as fancy as yours, my mum kept all her sowing items in there and we weren't allowed inside. It took me back years ago to when I was a kid. great build video and enjoyable memories.
Glad you enjoyed it John and glad it bought back some memories! :)
I was so excited when I came across this video. I had looked for a vintage sewing box for ages and finally was handed down one from a family member. Yours is so lovely and I hope your daughter treasures it always. This cantilever design is incredibly handy.
best craftsman and educator on TH-cam. The hardest / most tedious work is in the decorative top lids, great vids as always.
I just wish I could get hold of 'scrap' like that. That aside, nice job.👍
@Ged Reilly Camphor Laurel is a beautiful timber unfortunately it 's an introduced timber in Australia and grows wild it's killing off all the native trees so it's classified as a pest to be irradiated, this means there is a LOT of it around and cheap to buy.
I think a more suitable term would have been offcuts.
Wow. That's a labor of love right there!
I like how you batched the processes as much as you could.
Love it - my Grandma had a similar box and as a kid I was always interested in the mechanism. Thanks for bringing back happy memories!
Nice toolbox. Excellent job!
It seems like such an involved process, step after step after step, with lots of moving parts.... but you've managed to break it down into a manageable feat! Awesome work.
Thanks very much Nolan! :)
ive been in an apprenticeship for carpentry in germany for three years now and my masters couldnt teach me an easy and simple way to make dovetails like you could in about 10 minutes... great work!!
even tho some of your methods would make german carpenters scream haha... our safety regulations are very very strict
I appreciate how methodically you work, and how neat and organized you keep your shop.
Dude made an unnoticeable mistake and started over.
Bless this man
Your "Get hands dirty" t-shirt made me smile, I love that channel. I think I'll like yours also!
Cool video man. I like the way you presented the sponsor. Thanks
One of the most enjoyable wood/making related channels on TH-cam 👍 No arrogance, no fame seeking desperation, no elitist tools/methods or attitude and damn good builds.
I know, personally, total newbies and seasoned woodwork geniuses that all enjoy and learn from your uploads mate. Good job... keep 'em coming 👌👍
Just awesome - you do some wonderful work Neil.
Interesting to see the offset kerf marking method for the dovetail pins - I've only seen Rob Cosman use that technique but found it works well for me, the few times I've had a go. Liked the hole drilling jig too.
Thanks Robert! I reckon it's a great method. :)
Beautiful!!!
And you just reminded me that I keep meaning to replace some missing screws on my mom's cantilevered sewing box. 😉
Yup. Me too! But mine was my Grandmother's. :-)
Truly awesome cantilever toolbox !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember my dad making one of those for my sister as a Christmas present 50 years ago and it is still in use today
I think you have made a family heirloom that your grandkids will be using
Great job as usual
Amazing content. Though I must break it to you: you say you'll use this for remotes. That's how it'll start but gradually it'll be used to hide things. But great project all around.
Pop on a built-in easel and that would make an AMAZING painting kit.
Metal bushings in the holes on the boxes and bars might help prevent a peice of this style from developing as much slop as this box will probably develop with time. Definitely a great peice either way though.
PASK,you are one quality craftsman,my hats off to you,great job, from the motor city Detroit Michigan usa.
This is a beautiful piece of work :)
I know it's hard to keep saying "One of your best" looking through your back catalog but geez! You could almost extend the series to "Scrapwood / Home Made Tools Only Challenge" at this point.
Great job, always using odds and ends pieces of wood you have laying around. Enjoy watching you and you channel. Thanks for sharing
Every time I watch you make something from your scrap wood pile, I am amazed and impressed by both the beauty of the wood and your craftsmanship. I am sure that many have tried lesser projects and ended up with nothing more that scrap. You are a master!
Three people who's videos I'm not allowed to miss;
1. Wood by Wright
2. Rex Figures it out

I'll be sure to check him out.
Frank Howarth - beautiful craftsmanship and very well-produced videos. They are also very relaxing too. Best.
Aadil Shah. Paul Sellers is also worth a visit. Similar no-nonsense approach.
Paul Sellers is definitely a keeper. Thanks for the tip.
Functional art, that's what it is.
This single video alone is packed with so much skill and wisdom that it's worth studying it - yet trying not to miss anything although you did a wonderful job documenting it.
Thanks very much! :)
Simply gorgeous work. What I admire the most is your ability to spot thing(s) that aren't how you'd like them mid-build, and engineer a correction.
Lots of uses for that style tool box. Artist box, Sewing box, etc etc etc. especially if modified for portability with folding legs and swing down handle. Very cool...
Jess has a good eye for fine craftsmanship. 😉
Essentially the same operation as the one my mum owned back in the 1960s, obviously cosmetic differences but the same principle.
I was fascinated to watch you recreate a memory from my childhood.
Glad you enjoyed it Terence! :)
My mother recently inherited a box like this that was originally my great great grandmother's, and I've been wanting to copy it for awhile. Seeing this process makes me really want to give it a go! Excellent craftsmanship!
What a very handy gadget!! I did some sewing over the winter and I sure could have used this gadget instead of balancing my sewing box on my knee at the sewing machine, and then having to pick up all the stuff that fell out, and reorganize it. It's a good height and looks like things will be easy to reach from a sitting position, that is...if your child doesn't hide it from you!!
And this is how you make a new subscriber.
This is beautiful. I think you should take a bit more time to take more shots of it at the end, especially after its in its final location and filled with stuff.
I have not even watched this video yet, but am super duper excited to!
The wooden cantilever sewing box, for my wife, was *THE* first woodworking project I was looking to make when I started purchasing woods and woodworking tools a few years ago, but am yet to build anything. Do not tell that to my wife though. Not many videos (if any) on how to build cantilevered containers.
Thank you so very much!
The pride you take in your craft, and the skill you display, is incredible. Thank you for sharing your talents on here for all of us to enjoy. You inspire me to try making my own creations!
Very interesting and wonderful!
I`m retired and have a small shop where I perform woodturning, create musical instruments, and some cabinetry. I have a shelf full of woodworking textbooks - but I found this woodworking guide, t.co/SGIXIPXR0z . The comprehensiveness of this book is surprising. It has decent coverage on every topic.?
If I ever need knee replacement surgery, I'll be asking Pask first.
Really enjoy your work and especially this project. A beautiful job. And I appreciate you sharing your "fix" to those holes that where initially too loose. I heard someone say once that the difference between a workman and a craftsman was how they fixed their mistakes. You qualify as the latter IMO.
Thanks very much Donald! :)
My mom had one of these sewing boxes, and it also had the wobbly loose closure. Glad to see you fixed yours!
I suspect that's how they end up with use! :)
About how long does a project like this take? We see the compressed version, but would be curious to know how many days/weeks this stretched over.
It would take me at least 30 hours and that's in an actual wood shop.
@@captainmorgan2307 With or without rum?
No, actually, I've been in a lot of "actual" wood shops; three of which belonged to me over the years, and, yes I've commercially sold handcrafted hardwood cabinetry made in various of them, so I do consider myself knowledgeable. I'm curious why you don't consider his one?
I do think, given the wood he started with it would take me about 18 to 20 hours. If I were to do a production run, then is be able to squeeze out one every 6 hours or so.
Letting glue dry and finishing coating often involve several days on their own, aside from the many hours (days, weeks for me) labour. String comes to mind !
I heard the intro as " My wife's cat suggested this " 🤦♂️🤣
Haha! :)
wait, that’s not what he said?
Adrian S it might have been, cats can be very persuasive...
@@leftthenright88 I think his wife's name is Kat.
I have my grandmothers old sewing kit that is exactly like this! I love it!
Everytime I watch a woodworking video or making something of wood, I'm thinking to myself: How should Neil do this?
Your work is awesome.
Sorry of my english.
65% off the price? Sounds like the normal price is way too high...
I’m in love with your hands, your power tools and this cantilever... Amazing!!!
Simply beautiful work.
the craftsmanship of all the joinery is very impressive! beautiful work.
Wow great ideal nice looking table 👍
Wow, beautiful build! That camphor laurel really does look great. That spline thicknessing jig and screw shortening trick were both very clever.
That is awesome. My wife and I were walking through an "antique" store and she saw one of those sewing boxes. She wanted but it was cheaply made 50 years ago and was not worth the money they were asking for it..... I might just have to follow your lead and make her one. Nice build.
Valentines Day is only three months away. ;)
Such a beautiful piece of furniture! I'm quite impressed.
This is one good thing that came out of coronavirus quarantine.... great watching these videos during this down time.
Просто СУПЕР! Не перестаю удивляться вашему терпению и мастерству. Соединения ящиков требует большой монотонной работы, я бы этого не выдержал)))
Большое спасибо :)
You never cease to impress Neil. I've watched dedicated tutorial videos on making dovetails and you easily covered tips and tricks as well as anyone even while completing this scrapwood challenge episode!
Also loved your landscape photography. Click Show More and check out his website if curious.
Haha, maybe a cheeky steal by the daughter but you don't sound mad at all.
What a fantastic box! ....and, as usual, the workmanship is admirable and inspiring at the same time.
Almost a year and a half since you started the Scrapwood Challenge! Neil, you make some exceptional pieces and great videos. Thank you.
What an amazing and intricate piece of woodworking. Boggles my mind the precision and patience you can achieve. Stunning!
That is just a lovely piece you made. I’m sure you’ll get lots of requests to make more. Using the Japanese wood work added an elegant finish.
What a master! Amazing as always Neil!
You’re a true master. Wished I could have you teach me for about 6 months. Love all of your projects. Thanks for sharing
I watch your videos for quite a while, and come from the Netherlands. I am at a technical school, and now I know for sure what direction I am going Do woodworking and building😉I love it. 😘😍
En the scrap wood challenge I love which😍😜
Glad my videos are helpful to you Nathan - good luck with whatever direction you take! :)
That's a really beautiful piece. Nice work.
I love your solution to shortening the screws!
Scrap wood ?? Wow that came out beautiful !!! Be proud Pask
My respect!!! Cutting all those dovetails by hand takes skills..
a lot of these guys can’t do a quality job using a machine.. 👍👍
Stuff like this makes me cry and question my life decisions (always loved working with wood...). Beautiful piece of work!
Outstanding and inspiring!
At 1:31 he's already setting up the sequel in the series. Very cool to keep us in suspense. Great video!
Thanx. Always a pleasure to watch you build something
Bloody hell Neil, you keep a bloke feeling humble. Such an beautiful piece of woodworkin'.
Okay dude you have really done it now. This build deserves a You Tubie Award. Fantastical and you should drop the mic now.
