I’m now going to binge watch your videos. It’s so fun to discover a new woodworker (especially a woman!)
Thanks Barbara, hope you enjoyed your binge watching!!!
I’m doing the same now!
I wish my wife could do this stuff with me. That would be incredible!

You can't find such a piece of art in any store. Great work, great video and great outcome. Thanks for sharing. More videos please. Bravo!
I love this build! Thank you! It's easy and affordable. I would love to see more of this type of project, the kind that uses basic tools that most people already have. And the wood can be pulled from free pallets making this chest even more affordable.
Honestly I've never built a chest before but after watching this video you did a great job helping viewers understand the simplicity of it. I've watched a couple other videos and boy do some make it more difficult than it needs to be. Excellent job it looks phenomenal and I'm a lot more confident now then before watching this 😊
Marie ! It is not often that a woman does woodworking, you gave me some good idées. Great little shop.Thank you.👍
I started my trunk today based on your model. I’m a beginner and this was certainly at my level. Thank you for this
I've looked at several blanket chests looking for the best way for how I'm building my next one. I believe yours would be the best because you've explained and shown how very well. Will be a few months because of the weather. Thanks for the GREAT instructions and video.
Awesome build!!!!!!I have made a few of these for family and friends only change i made was adding washers to the belt handle installation and a support hinge. Love love love the simplicity and beauty of this build.
Great vid. No nonsense commentary & no annoying loud music in background. Good job.
Thanks, much appreciated!
September 2 2020 I too am binge watching your videos. It is great to find a new woodworking channel (especially a woman and a Canadian).
Great job! I love seeing wood reused and not just thrown away. That box has a story behind it from a past life as a barn.
Agreed! Makes it so much more satisfying to upcycle.
Being a newbie to woodworking, Oh my goodness quick and easy i'm so subscribing to your channel. Great DIY. Keep them coming. 😀
Hey, thank you so much! Welcome aboard :)
So I’ve watched this 20 times the minimal ! I’m so ready to build it !
Came out so great, awesome work! I had a fire in my house a while ago and saved all the floorboards that had to be removed; I think I’ll try something similar using those ones. Cheers for posting!
Exactly the kind of thing i was looking for. Thank you
I built this project today. I used big box lumber and it turned out great. Thanks!
That turned out great. Nice and easy to follow! Well done. (open your spindle sander! You're gonna love it!)
Lol can’t believe you noticed the box in the background 🤣
Excellent video. The fact that you actually checked to see if your frame was true was also superb, others do not even bother
This is probably the best, most fluid, and concise video I have seen on any site. Great job. I am currently building a slightly smaller one.
Thank you, appreciate it! Good luck with the build.
Love the video, I love working with wood and your videos are so easy to follow and not overcomplicated!
This was a great - effective - simple how to guide! I have needed toy storage for my kids and so glad I came across your video! Thanks so much!
Awesome, thank you!
Nice! Nice! Nice!
Simple... easy..... rustically beautiful!
That was a very cool build! I love the way you did the corners using spacers to inter-latch. Been looking for storage ideas as planning to do a tool box for my truck. Thanks for the content!
This would have save so many arguments if I had of found this 2 years ago. I never completed the project due to fear of ability to complete it. I am about to go dumpster diving for some pallet wood and make one for the heck of it. Thanks for making it simple and useful! Happy New Year!
Cool build! Very simple to construct and I like how you handled the bottom set up!
Thanks!
You visually answered all my storage making question.
Thank you.
I will be making 🙌🏽
Awesome!
I've been looking for a trunk to put our shoes in out in the mudroom and this is perfect, thanks!
I'm about to make this with cheap 1x4 furring strips from Home Depot. I think they'll work well since they're about .75" x 3.5". I'm going to torch them a bit to give them a little character and then use a light stain. The whole thing should cost about $45 with hardware. Here's hoping it turns out well!
Good luck with the build!
Howd it turn out?
@@7A7ER turned out great except I had used glue and pin nails, so it started coming apart after a bit. I reinforced it with screws all around, so it's solid now.
ngl these tutorials are my savior. I've been doing this kind of stuff for years just going by instinct without really thinking about materials/tools/etc, and it's worked greatly for me so far, but I've feared the day when it would fail me
OMG! Where were you when I built mine????LOL. I used pallet wood to built mine. Thanks for the ideas on how to build any new ones.
😊😊😊
This is GREAT...beautiful wood texture..n the storage chest..FANTASTIC..!! THANK YOU
good project. great video. i liked the quick shots to give the "idea" without having to watch each board ripped, cut and sanded. right to the point. thank you for posting.
Thanks, appreciate the positive feedback! And glad you liked it :)
Great use for reclaimed lumber.straight and to the point.good job.
Thank you
I have built three chests in similar fashion, now working on my fourth, i may incorporate some of your ideas on this one or the next. thanks for sharing and great build!
Thanks! Making chests is fun, definitely want to build another myself!
Very cool, the hidden framing underneath is a great idea!
Thanks Robert!
Just what I was looking for! Thanks!
Super simple build, that's a compliment. Really good explanation of each step, that's also a compliment. I really like the look of your finished project, and that you reused the wood after holding on to it. Thank you and keep it up.
Thanks! I'll admit that using recycled materials makes it even more satisfying :-)
As always you make inspiring projects. Building them with ease. I love watching your techniques. I have some pallet wood so I’m going to give this a try. Thank you for your ideas and inspiration.
Thanks Jason! You should try this for sure. Be sure to post some pics on Instagram if you do!
Simply, beautiful art.
I have a bunch of 1x4 and 2x4 behind my shed I’m trying to use up before winter . Your video completely inspired my to build a behind the shed storage box to hold worn dirt bike tires or maybe wood scraps hmmm maybe I need two boxes ... thanks for your video I love the design of your chest
Thanks for sharing. Very nice hands-on approach. Only this morning the idea popped in my head to make some small storage boxes. Will put your method to use too.
That's great, thanks! Enjoy the build.
From one builder/ welder/ fabricator to another, this is a great build. Your instructions are so easy to follow that anyone can make this. 2 THUMBS UP 👍 👍. Consider me a subscriber.
Awesome thank you so much! Appreciate it.
That's an easy way to built a chest, thanks for share!!
Love it! perfect!
Hey, now you have help in the shop! ;) I like the dark hardware with the barn wood. That's a nice combo. Great job, Marie!
haha help is hard to come by in the shop so I'll take what I can get! Thanks Bruce!
Nice job!! Definitely trying it since my boys want toy chests! And I have tons of pallets at work! Thanks for sharing
Pallets would work great for this! And I'm sure the boys will love it.
The nail gun is amazing. Great job!
It's perfect for what I was looking for. Thank you so very much 🤗
Thanks! Happy to share.
I love to watch these of videos. Thanks for sharing your time, skill, and information.
nice box, gotta get me some reclaimed wood, i like the age, and weathering.
Made one from reclaimed cedar. Awesome work.
I love this project. Gonna build this weekend. Thank you.
Great DIY video!! I have found that knowing how to keep your chisel sharp is the best way to become good at using a chisel.
Definitely could use some practice with that too!
Building mine right now. Half way built! Thanks for the video!
That's awesome! Thanks
Came out great! Exactly the video I needed.
Fantastic... You awesome woman. Love it, and, you have given me an idea how to create a couple of blanket boxes myself. Thank you... UK.
That's fantastic! Thank you :-) Enjoy the build!
Very nice.... I have a thing for old wooden chests/boxes. My wife has rolled her eyes more than once for dragging in old boxes but she learns to love them in the end.
It's quite a neat storage trunk,nothing fancy,but very adequate for what it's used for,worthy of my 5 ☆ rating
Thanks!
love the job you did. Great build, and well described. Cheers from Verdun!
Montrealer! Thanks :)
Excellent! I need to make a rustic gunpowder storage box and this design is perfect for it.
Absolutely incredible. You make it look so easy. Man, I’ve always wanted to build one of these and pass it on to one of my boys. But I just don’t feel like it would come out really good. Love your videos. 🤙🏼
Just try it and u will see. U might be very good at it
Nice corners using the spacers to create the overlap. 👍🏼
Thanks 👍🏻
Great idea to cut down the tongue and groove as I am using Pallet wood and not old T&G so that helps me. Good looking Chest. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! Even better, you get to skip a step :-)
Nice build! Definitely a case of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts.
I'll be honest, I started out cringing at you not using a jointer to get the board edges perfectly straight, and making them perfectly flat, etc..... but honestly the lack of doing so gives it a bit of character. Well done.
Easy to make and it looks great!
Sharpen that chisel, and you'll be surprised how much your chisel skills improve. I thought my chisels were sharp until my mentor let me use the one he sharpened. Made a world of difference. Great work. Simple and strong
This is what I’m looking for! Great Job girl!!!
Thanks for this. I've always wanted to make one of these.
I always admire a woman with technical skills 😉👍🏽
Ahhhhh, esse eu vou fazer p mim guardar minhas ferramentas 👏
Ditto from the lady below haha and I loved it
Well cone. Simple and practical. Great job. Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Brazil.
That was really inspiring, i definitely know what im gonna do with my next batch of waste wood!
Cool, glad I could inspire you!
Very nicely done and I love your tools. I am making myself a motorcycle trunk and your videos are very helpful
Looks brilliant, well done.
Lovely job, very impressive and love the rustic look.
Much appreciated, thanks :)
You did a great job I am definitely subscribing can't wait to see more great content like this from you
Thank you so much!
Love, how the project turned out.
Thanks!
Looks great. Thank for the video, it's very helpful. I hope to use your method to build a standing cabinet.
Beautiful work.
Congratulations!
New subscriber 😌
Job well done. Thank you for clear instructions😊 Great that you used re-purpose material. Yay!
Thanks! I love to be able to reuse what I have one hand :)
You made it look enjoyable to watch and well done on great chest / storage box
Thanks! I do enjoy the builds very much :)
Looks great.
Unreal skill. Looks amazing
Nice vid, now insulate/weather proof it ao I van finish my reclaimed wood bike crate project :)
Really beautiful work! Looks fantastic! 😃
Great tips I’ll be giving this a try too
Nice simple build. I'm going to make it with my daughter. Great, thanks.
Loved the video.
I will make one for my wife.
Definitely she will be happy
Awesome! Enjoy the build!
Really a good build. Instead of rope to hold the lid, you might use the same belt and cut it longwise to make thinner strips and it will match your handles. Good job!!!
That's a great idea Donnie! Hope I have enough left to do this. Thanks!
nails without glue is not joinery. they will work loose and fall apart over time. Joinery is what it is for a reason. it works.
Great idea. Since I don't have barn wood, I;ll make do with maybe 1 x 6 carsiding. Enjoy getting your videos/newsletters. Keep it up.
Thanks Larry, using tongue & groove carsiding would be a great idea (FYI I had to Google carsiding, lol)!
Great video for beginner woodworkers! I look forward to browsing the channel
Thanks!
Awesome job!!! I love it!! Congrats!!
Very cool. We recently acquired an antique chest. My kids wanted it for Halloween. But I think it's better suited with some that can appreciate it. I think my son and I will make our own.
Sounds like a great family project to work on. Enjoy the build!
That is really great looking. I think I'll build one in a smaller scale for my daughter.
What a wicked but simple project ... On my to do list very soon
Thanks it’s a fun project!
Great video. This will be my take on building a chest for our living room. My wife has approved it, so it might be ok. 👍🏻
This was very satisfying to watch! You really made it look so easy!
That looks really good. Greetings from Sunny Eastern England!!!
