- I'm calling this a Hybrid Bandsaw Box, but I would like to hear your opinion about that! Golden Rasps might be the best bargain in woodworking: amzn.to/2r9tSxS Stew Mac router base for Dremel is another one of my favorites: amzn.to/2rb6ZKp
It's a WOW box. It's a beautiful work of art. I bet your niece was very appreciative. I'm a new subscriber.
Thank you very much!
Spectacular! Lucky girl. Incredible craftsmanship, thanks for sharing your journey.
Thanks Cindy!
@9:30, thank you for showing EVERYONE gets frustrated now and then in the shop (or in this case the kitchen), but learn and keep going!!
Thanks! I think it's good to show any problems that I encountered and hopefully, how I was able to resolve them.
Hybrid I think and you are one hell of a good uncle ,and wood worker Thanks for the Vid !
Thank You!!
Beautiful. Definitely a bandsaw box ➕! Gorgeous timber!
Thanks 👍
I think this is absolutely beautiful. The thought and craftsmanship you put into this jewelry case just shows you don't need a workshop full of machinery to make something that will be treasured and loved. Congratulation - well done
Thanks for the very nice compliment, Jim!
It's not just a box, it's a work of art! Nicely done, Charlie. I especially liked seeing how you overcame the issues that arose while you made it, especially painting the repair. Beautiful work.
Thanks Cam!
Beautiful and inspiring.
Thanks PJ!
very cool band saw box ?? I think it is definitely a hybrid
Thanks Carey!
That is GORGEOUS! A ND in my humble opinion, it is a box that was made with a bandsaw!!!
I think it's a Beautiful box, period!👍
Thanks Tom!
Great video and a great project!
Thanks Jimmie!
master piece,great job
Thanks for your kind words, Charles
Omg lol!!! I could here Benny hill playing as u tried all those diff ways for that "s" I swear It was comedy!! Awe but the result, not bandsaw my dear sir but a work of art.... now I can't get that music out my head!
LOL!! I like the way you think! And, thanks for your kind words.
Beautiful it's a hybrid Band saw box
Thank You!
Beautiful work. Who cares what it is classified as it is in a class of its own. Thanks also for sharing the ups and downs during the build. Glad to see I am not the only one beset by murphy's law ;)
Thanks Steve! Not just Murphy, but procrastination, too. Truth be told, it was supposed to be for my niece's HS graduation. She graduated college in June, but I couldn't give it to her until October.
Hybrid Bandsaw box.... It's a beautiful box
Thanks Gene!!!
I have to say ,it's a great looking box. I don't think it should be considered a bandsaw box. I would say an elaborate box fits it good.
Thumbs up, great job
Thanks Jim!!
Nicely done, love the maple
Thanks Mike!!!
It’s a beautiful box
This is great Charlie. Good format, realistic about problems and solutions. Beautiful results.
Thanks Daryl!! I hope you and Bev are doing great. I have photos of some other work on my website: charliekocourek.com
I call it an amazing, beautiful box.I agree with others its a work of art. Great skill. I watch all your videos. I can't wait until the next. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much!
Beautiful Charlie! I think I would just call it a box, but definitely not a band saw box.
Thanks Guy!
Beautiful job 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Excellent work, and what a beautiful box it is...!!
Cheers...
Thanks Adam!
Not a traditional BSB. Great job & attention to detail.
Thanks David!
Whatever you call it, it sure looks good! Liked seeing your process and the challenges you encountered.
Band saw box or not Bro, you've got serious skills! Enjoyed it immensely!
Thank You!!
Wow
Gorgeous!!!!
Thank you!
Wow! That is beautiful, Charlie! It’s fun to watch a master craftsman at work. I would say this is not a bandsaw box but I think “hybrid bandsaw box” works. Nice job, sir! 👍🏼
Thanks! That is the nicest compliment I've received all day!
Thank you so much. A gorgeous work of art. i can,t pull up the description and i really want to know where to find such beautiful quilted maple . If you don't mind me asking where do you buy your wood? quilted maple is the most beautiful and my favorite wood.
Thanks! I've found quilted maple at a variety of different places. Cook Woods cookwoods.com is one, and I've found some nice wood on Ebay, too. The best stuff is often classified as "Instrument Grade", but not always. Try doing a Google search for quilted maple. Best of luck!
Beautiful box - i would call it a carved box. The figured maple was lovely. As you want through fitting the hinges i thought that ultimately the 45 degree angle you planed to stop the hinges binding would have stopped the lid opening at 90 degrees, so the stopped Brusso hinges were not strictly necessary. However, relying on those planed edges may have put too much stress on the screws
Thanks John. Good point about the hinge stops. I didn't anticipate that they would bind ahead of time, however, with that in mind I think I will try using regular hinges on a future project.
Yes - worth a try with ordinary hinges. The Brusso hinges are not cheap!!!
So beautiful! Its a box for sure... i tend to think the cutting away of the inside is the thing that makes a bandsaw box just that. So you might call this a hybrid jigsaw box. But who cares what it’s called, its one of the prettiest boxes i ever saw. How many hours of work went into making it? Your niece has a pretty special uncle!!!
Thank You, Willem! I can't say how many hours went into this, but it was a lot! I started by building a prototype to test the hinges and get a feel for the shape. Making templates, and learning new things as I went along really added to the time involved.
Excellent work!!!
Gorgeous box but I don't think it is a bandsaw box. Ultimately who cares what you call it - it is beautiful.
Thanks Charley!
How did the crack happen? Totally missed it. Your answer was disaster recovery at its finest. I learn something with every video I watch. Beautiful work!! Where did you find the beautiful quilted maple?
Thank you so much! I suspect that the crack was there when I bought the wood, but I didn't discover it until I was halfway through the project. I don't remember exactly, but I think I bought this online from Cook Woods
Beautiful work !! I'd say hybrid. liked and subscribed.
Thanks James!
Great Project man! loved it. I think there is no strict rule on it. If the box was mainly made with a bandsaw or it was an essential tool in the making of the box... then yes I think it is a Bandsaw Box!
Thanks Sean!
I think it’s just a beautiful box. It dose not matter what you call it
Don't know what you call it.... But it's beautiful
Thank You!
I'd call this one an amazing box.
Thanks Michael!
Amazing work on covering the crack. You used the bandsaw like once so not really a bandsaw box. But who care looks awesome
Thanks Mark! 👍
what does it matter , its a beatifull made box.Stop trying to put a name on everything.I loved it
Thanks, I'm glad that you liked it.
Hybrid bandsaw box one of your best your friend Phillip white of Dublin Georgia u
Thanks Phillip!!
Just call it one step above a bandsaw box, Your video is fantastic, one of the best prsented and edited, I do allot of woodwork video idea's, Have allot to learn from you, ps, I liked the washer trick. first time I have seen a video by you, will have to check out more, Thanks.
Thanks Brian!
Your Hybrid thought is perfect. For your S shape letter, I would have cut it out of a solid piece of ash on the BS, then sanded to shape and then ebonize the wood with Carbacho bark tea, and vinegar with iron. Really a solid black and inexpensive to do. Then you could glue your maple veneer to it. Nice project and your commentary is excellent.
Thanks Morgan. In retrospect, I would definitely avoid laminating the divider. In fact, I am working on another box now and am cutting the divider from a solid block as you suggest. Glad you like the video!
Great job. I think its a box made with a bandsaw , but not a bandsaw box.> I have been a furniture maker for 54 years . I love the quilted maple. Probably my favorite wood . I live in Hawaii so I have to shop all over to get it. Where did you get that bilit from? I buy all I can get my hands on. I agree that Brusso make the best hinges availble. I only use Brusso on my Projects. Again great work. Id have to charge between $1500 to $2000 for that box consideringthe Quilted maple and the labor invested for this beautiful box.
Thanks Michael! I bought the maple on line. Hands down, some of the most beautiful wood, period! I think I got that particular piece from Cook Woods, but I also find it on Ebay.
I came across your Facebook post about this box and I've never seen your videos. Great stuff. You explain things well, you're funny, and you provide lot of great tips. I'm going to check out other videos for sure. As far as this particular box, I would say it is hybrid-bandsaw. By they way, that chunk of maple you cut from, how much did that thing cost you!?!? I saw that and it reminded me of a huge chunk of gold!
Thanks Lee! I actually bought the billet about 6 years ago. Truth be told, it was supposed to be for my niece's HS graduation. She graduated college in June, but I couldn't give it to her until October. I think I originally paid about $250 for the billet, but the price of that stuff has almost doubled since then.
First time watching your channel. I would just call it amazing. Been wanting to use these hinges and now you have convinced me to try them. Thank you!
Thanks! Brusso hinges are expensive, but extremely high quality.
Very nicely designed ,I wouldn’t consider it a bandsaw box.it
Wow! love the effort put into this beautiful box. I know you used a bandsaw to cut the pieces but don't think it fits the what people come to think of as one. But that really doesn't matter because the results show it as a beautiful piece of art and she is a blessed lady to receive it.
Thanks Barry!
This is incredible, Charlie!!! I am in awe of what you have done here. Absolutely stunning. Great video, too. I wouldn't think of this as a bandsaw box. For projects that I consider to be bandsaw boxes, I've never seen one that would be in the same league as this. Thanks for the great instruction and inspiration.
Thanks Paul!!
I think your band song box is beautiful yeah hybrid clever way to get more viewers and more responses hope you can grow your Channel
Thanks Charlie!
It’s a beautiful box for sure! I love this wood. I’d say hybrid but AMAZING still!
Thanks so much!
Beautiful work. I wouldn't call it a bandsaw box nor a hybrid bandsaw box. At the end of the day who cares what you call it, it's a beautiful piece.
Thank You!
Artist at work...The finished piece is gorgeous! Love figured maple, but the yellowish tint brought amazing results! Thanx for showing the mistakes and how you came to solve the issues. A true artist knows how to correct mistakes well...
Thanks for your kind words, John
I kind of agree maybe !
LOL!! Thanks!
Charlie....I think this box is exquisite and represents your finest work. Bravo. Since I have actually seen this piece , I can say that that it looks even better than the photos. This box demonstrates your mastery of high risk, technical fabrication riddles as well as your artistic grasp of fluid organic shapes. I would call it a Best In Show box! Well done, Charlie
cheers, Mark Laub
Thanks Mark!
Mr. Jack this should be called a love box your friend Phillip white of Dublin ga.
Thanks Phillip!
Nice box. All I could think was, Man I want that chunk of Maple for guitar building. :D
LOL! It started out as a luthier billet.
Hybred Bandsaw box.... bandsaw box.... Ya'all can call it what you want... I call it a Beautiful Box. Great work and attention to detail, Charlie!! Everyone else can have that type of box discussion -- I'll just call a Beautiful Work of Art. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Thanks Dave!!
Well done. If you have to put a title on it Hybrid Bandsaw box works. Stunning box.
Thanks Daniel!!
I love the box but I don't think it is really a bandsaw box. There is a lot of extra work involved and since you used the router, the classic cut line to open the inside is missing. I think it is a box that you used a bandsaw to cut the wood but...
Thanks Delilah, that's what I thought, too.
I love it and your skills! But I’m definitely not calling it a bandsaw box.
Thanks Chris, I'd rather not call it a bandsaw box either!
Who cares what you call it. It is beautiful. Great work and very nice instruction. I was particularly impressed with the way you disappeared that crack. The only thing missing for me was a better description of the wood you used, and how to describe it if you want to buy some. But you did mention that it's maple, so that should be hint enough I guess. Thanks for this.
Hi Zale, thanks for the nice comments about the jewelry box. The wood is Big Leaf Maple, sometimes it's called Western Maple. The figure in this particular piece of wood is called "Quilted". So, quilted big leaf maple. It's amazing wood and not as difficult to work with as some other highly figured woods.
@@JackbenchWoodworking Thanks for that info. It's truly a beautiful wood and I'm going to try to find some.
That is some of the most beautiful wood I have seen ! Where and how to I get some ??
It's quilted big leaf maple and it's one of my all time favorites!
I would call it an amazing looking box. Wow Jack Bench, what a detailed piece!!
Thanks Eloy!!
Boiling wood in a fry pan on the kitchen stove. Made me laugh. I bet you were popular with the lady of the house that day. Chuckle chuckle.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!
Looks awesome, Charlie! I love the contrast between the sweeping contours of the design and the highly figured curl in that maple! You nailed it!
Thanks for your kind words about my project.
That wood grain is phenomenal! The design of the box is outstanding. As to what “kind” of box it is I have no idea. Quite frankly I don’t care what “kind” of box it is. It’s beautiful.
Yes, it was cut with a bandsaw but bandsaw boxes tend to have drawers and your box doesn’t. You also glued in a laminated divider. Typically band saw boxes have a spot where the bandsaw is used to cut out the interior and the spot where the blade went through the side has to be glued somehow. You could have done that by cutting out the interior of your box with the bandsaw instead of using a router. By cutting out the interior that way coming in from both sides, perhaps somewhere around the hinges, you could have left the “s” shape in the middle.
Good point about incorporating the "S" shape into the initial block of wood. I might try that on a future project.
so nice dun. i would say that the box is a hybrid box
Thanks Anders!
Not sure on the box type but you did awesome work!
Thanks Frank!
Personally I think we strive to label things, and people, too much in this world. Mixed method or not, it turned out absolutely beautiful. Let's just call it exactly what it is...
It is a beautiful keepsake box.
That wood is on fire with shatoiance, beautiful figure. Love the "S" divider. Too bad her name didn't start with an "R", would have made for a four section divider.
Thanks Thomas. I agree with you about labeling things, but that's what we do! I might make more of these "letter" boxes, so many possibilities!
id call it AWESOME!! but thats me :)
Thanks Jamie!!!
Sure she loved it regardless of name !!!!
She did, thanks Brian!
What is the type of wood that was used? If you said i may have missed it.
This box is made from a single block of quilted big leaf maple. Definitely one of the most beautiful woods there is, in my opinion anyway!
custom build by Jack
Wow, you better like those hinges at $30 a pair.
Yes, they are expensive! They are also very high quality. I also believe that the most expensive component in my woodworking projects is my time. Thanks!
God that came out so beautiful big leaf maple is one of my favorite words out there but I have yet to be able to work with it because it is so damn expensive
Thanks Eric. Quilted big leaf is one of my favorite woods, but it is expensive. Really nice pieces are hard to find, too.
Not a very classical bandsaw box, but a damn good looking box. Very nice!
Interesting piece not sure why 4 didn't like as they never share the reason
Very goog job, something different
Thanks, I like that it is a bit different, somehow that makes it more worthwhile to me.
its a beautiful box.. but i wouldnt call it a bandsaw box.. it wasnt defined by the use of the bandsaw.. i would call it a clam shaped jewelry box.. it doesnt have to be a bandsaw box
Thanks!
Charlie, "When is a box not a box?" When it's a piece of Art! Looks like all those hours of education with some masters rubbed off! LOL! The touching up of the mistake is what a pro does. You did that well my friend. I'm sure you're going to want to borrow this for the show in spring as I don't know how much real time this took. And you found your own answers in making this. The bandsaw is a flexible tool and you used it well. More than a hybrid my friend it is a piece of Art! Do you plan on making more? Nice to see you excited about making something.
Thanks for your kind words, Tom. In fact, I told her when I gave it to her that I would want to borrow it back in April for the show. And, yes, as a matter of fact I am working on another one right now!
You have really inspired me to complicate my box building. It is a work of art for certain. Do you keep track of build times? Thanks so much for the video. I would consider it a modified very complicated bandsaw box! Maybe we should call it a WOW bandsaw box.
Thanks for the very nice comment, Gary. I don't keep track of the time spent on my projects. I kind of wish that I did, but I'm not sure if I really want to know!
What Bandsaw Boxes aspire to be.
Thanks for the very nice comment.
If you had cut out the two interior areas with a bandsaw instead of a jigsaw then I would call it a lidded (is that a word?) bandsaw box, since traditionally they have drawers. But I think this is more just a sculptural box. I totally understand why you didn't though, a kerf is a kerf, even if it's a thin bandsaw blade. It's gorgeous though, and I love the subtle personalization and attention to detail with the hinges. Just found your channel, new subscriber! =)
Thanks Emily. I agree with you that a kerf is a kerf, and that was just not good enough for this particular box. Oh, and yes, I think lidded is a word!
You know my daughter’s name’s is Courtney Nicole so for her to open a jewelry box with her initials CN on the inside would be just awesome......ex specially from made from her dad......
HI Mike, I'm sure that your daughter would love that. I am working on another custom jewelry box now for someone whose initials are EG. It's similar to the one in this video except it is taller and there's a tray when you open the lid. I put an E in the tray. When you remove the tray you see that there is another smaller box inside the larger box. The lid on the smaller box has a G in it. I will probably post a video about it in a few months.
Amazing figure in the wood! Amazing piece of craftsmanship and a true artist knows how to hide mistakes! Great work and a well-done video! I'd say it's a hybrid bandsaw box btw...Love to get my hands on some of that maple, too!
Thanks John! I was lucky to find such a nice piece of maple!
Yeah, who cares. How about the woodworker, I guess I'm not very good, because from my scale of comparison, this is really pretty out there. I like to think about building a box I've seem. Nope, natta, not in this lifetime, don't think so, mmmm, No, I don't think I would even think about trying this. Maybe a slightly reminiscent 2nd to that. But this!? Don't think so.
Thanks Gene, you're too kind. Actually, the basic box wouldn't be that difficult if you omit the "S" shaped divider and the concealed hinges.
Amazing....and my daughter name is Sarah...I was wondering about the divider between it...cause in your gram post it look like one...have a great weekend...hybrid bandsaw box to me...
Thanks, I didn't mention it, but my nieces name is Sarah, too.
I don't care what you call it, Charlie, but it is stunning!
Billy
Thanks Billy!
Stunning! I don't think it would qualify as a pure bandsaw box in my opinion because of the dishing of the lid with the router or the use of the jigsaw. You have however created a beautiful piece of art. Well done
Thanks Roland!
Bandsaw box/hybrid box doesn’t matter. It’s just a stunning box. That’s a beautiful piece no matter what it’s called. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.
A box!
Box and wood is beautiful. I have a question ...#1 why not cut an S on the bandsaw?.
Doesn’t seem to me that this is a bandsaw box of any sort. Great tip on hiding the crack.
Thanks Belinda. Good question about the S. I was hoping to have the grain of the wood follow the shape of the S. I thought bending the wood would give me that effect. Of course, bending didn't work at all and in actual practice the veneer plies didn't show after I finished it. I am working on a similar box now with the letter "E". I cut and carved the E out of a solid piece of bloodwood and it was not only easier, but it looks great. Your instincts were right on about this one.
Wowzers!, hybrid because it wasn't all cut in the band saw.
Absolutely fantastic box ! the stock used was spectacular. I wouldn't call it a bandsaw box though, rather a box made using tools including a bandsaw.
Thanks John!!
Hybrid bandsaw keepsake box
Thanks Phil!
Beautiful! I'm sure it made a very nice gift that she will cherish forever! Gifts mean soo much more when you make them with your own hands!
Thank you! And you're right, she loved it!
Charlie, that's a gorgeous piece of wood and you did it justice with this box. Looks fantastic. As to what type of box, I'd not call it a bandsaw box but what you call it does not matter - it really is beautiful
Thank You!!
