Pretty big offcuts! Lovely work.
Seeing you bat the wood chips into the trash can with the Coping saw is great, that's someone who is loving what they're doing
Pretty fancy way to discard your dovetail waste.
Ok now I am truly going to appreciate all homemade wood items.
Beautiful box, nice work.
What a pretty little box!
I like your work and hand tools only! Dry good and May God Bless!
Beautiful.
Like your use only hand tools.Mastery! Thank You.🎉
Beautiful work, Frank! Crazy looking box!!! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Awesome video! Love the box and now I need to go make one too. Keep the great content and ideas coming.
You got it! Big plans underway for 2022!
This is awesome. I wanted to make my grandson a box to keeps his treasures in, this would be perfect.
This young man is highly skilled and his work is beautiful. Judging by his videos, he's just starting out on TH-cam but I feel like he's going to go a long way. Just keep posting videos brother! ♥️
This is great encouragement, thank you!!
Agreed extremely talented. I would love to see a video detailing how he keeps his saw cuts straight and square, how he gets his faces true and square. He makes it seem so easy.
Hey I have that same dovetail marker! Nice little tool.
Enjoyed watching. Like the buried lid idea...rr Normandy, Fra.
Great video. Love how you CIG'd the scrap landing in the bin.
Thanks bro, felt like having a little fun! What's CIG?
Bravo.
Fun watching you work. I like your tools especially that re saw. I'm subscribed.
Thanks for your effort.
i just love your work.
Thanks man!
As usual, awesome hand work. Nicer if the base was walnut, too.
I am currently being held out of my shop due my studies gearing up for exams. (I am 38 but have gone back to school for a much needed career change). Anyway, the scrapped walnut planks in my stock is calling my name pretty hard watching you sculpt this lovely piece. But it's nice to be reminded of my passion, Frank, so once again: Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Fred!
Like the build and your attention to detail. It wouldn't be my choice putting on a pine bottom. Thanks for sharing.
Cant blame u there😉
Your the Michael Jordan of woodworking! Great shots! Solid work. Looks great brother
😎 luckily I get do-over's lol
Box is cool man, nice build 😁 You're a good shot with that coping saw 🤙🤣
👊
Purdy box, for sure.
So this monster resawing saw is a simple tool ? Darn, I need loads of simple tools :P
Nice box and great comments on the process. Thanks for sharing.
hahaha point taken! but at least i didnt say simple tools then walk over to a wide belt sander :o
Beautiful box…your careful attention to details such as the fit of the lid makes it truly special. Why the pine bottom as a visible piece? Part of your desired esthetic? Or what you had on hand? Thanks for another great video.
I thought the contrast of the pine would look interesting, kind of like a streak of milky walnut sapwood looks cool sometimes
those tools are so sharp.... i could never get them even close to sharp
If all else fails try starting with a hollow grind 👍
Your planing always looks so effortless. Any tips on how you set up your planes?
The biggest thing is to get sharp and sharpen frequently. Secondary to that, wax or oil the plane sole regularly. Tertiary - for difficult grain, put the cap iron very close to the edge of the iron
I love your work, you're obviously very skilled. That only comes with practice. The risk of different rates of movement because there are two different species of wood could possibly cause the glue joint to fail. Have you considered using your router plane to make a dado for a floating bottom panel? Still though, great build and the dovetails were spot on.
thanks man! You are right, it can be an issue, for a box this size, i dont worry about it too much. You might like the earlier cherry box vid, I do exactly as you mention!
@@FranksWorkbench I just watched that video, and I really liked it. That was exactly what I was talking about. I mis-spoke on the plane nomenclature, I should have said plow plane. I only brought it up because I have a couple of boxes I made like that and one of them got used in the bathroom for tweezers, nail files, etc, and the bottom blew right off of it once the humidity from the shower hit it a few times. To top it off, I was using Titebond 3.
Any tips on how someone could learn this kind of craftsmanship?
way too good
Is there any real advantage to using that large frame saw to rip boards? It seems a little cumbersome to use.
Why should you use a different material for the base?
Hey Frank, can you add your hand planes to your Recommended Tools section on your website? I don't see them there.
I hope these are affiliate links!! Would love to support you and your work.
So awesome! How long does a project like this take from a rough board to done for you?
I spent a couple of days on this working piecemeal! But then again I'm not known for speed 🤣
Why did you make the bottom from pine?
Do you basically have a Stanley #3 for scrub planing, a #5 for smoothing, and a block plane that you use for shooting?
The scrub plane is a veritas scrub plane, other that that you got it!
Great video thanks! Do you have plans available for the "beast"?
There was some document with the dimensions on Blackburn tools website
Wow. Loved watching you work! Craftsmanship to the point that of artistry. Only negative thing, I didn't get or care for the exposed pine bottom. What was your thought or artistic process here?
Well you're not alone! Feedback has been overwhelmingly against it. Even my own wife said it should have been walnut 🤣
My thought process was that I thought the contrast would look cool, sort of like when there's a streak of sapwood next to dark walnut.
@@FranksWorkbenchWell...
Nice looking box. Love that walnut.
Quick question. For your woodriver planes, are you using a veritas chip breaker and a veritas blade?
Do you like your scrub plane? I've been using a course iron in my jack plane for removing a lot of stock but that scrub plane seemed to work well.
Wood river cap iron, fits ok even with the veritas blades. As for the scrub plane, trust me you will not regret it. Will make a blog post soon on the topic
@@FranksWorkbench Thanks! Do you know if the veritas chip breaker will fit in the woodriver planes?
I'm looking forward to your blog post.
Not sure I've never tried it. But the blades are called Stanley/record replacement irons
The guy’s amazing! But I’m still frustrated by the looks of a floor glued straight to the bottom. Even when I use the same woods, it stands out too much for my eye. So I usually cut a rabbet, then wonder about how to avoid the little chunk of groove showing at the corners.
How do you like your No° 5? I’ve seen you use it in nearly every video, but don’t remember you mentioning what maker and what kind of set up you went through. I can’t tell for certain, but it looks like you use Woodriver/Benchdog planes primarily and a Veritas Scrub. I’m happy with my tools, I just like to hear from guys the varied experiences they have setting up new tools.
Love the #5, it's the wood river but with a veritas o1 blade. Not as fine as some of the other makers but it does the job for now!
Where did you get your dovetail marking jig? Looks awesome. I did not see a source for that in your video notes. Thanks!
Sterling tool works, total luxury but great tool. Best design out there, imo.
@@FranksWorkbench Thanks for the tip on Sterling Tool dovetail markers. They make some beautiful stuff. Unfortunately they’re out of stock for the marker I’d want, but I’ll order it when it’s available.
@@FranksWorkbench which ratio marker do you use? Is that 1:6?
Looks like the 1:7 now that I pause the video and actually look.
Just curious what face vise do you have on your bench?
Veritas quick release front vise
Very nice box, but I think you could have done something a little more challenging on the bottom. I'm sure it maximizes space, but lacks refinement.
What is the make of the blade in your plane?
I use veritas o1 Stanley/record replacement blades
You shoot your boards with a BLOCK PLANE?? WHHAAAAAAAAAAAA??!!!
I have *never* seen that!
what can I say I'm a crazy sob 😂😂
I use my L/A B/U Jack and sometimes my L/A B/U Block. Depends on workpiece size and thickness. Nothing wrong at all with it. The shooting board don't care.
I really like that rip saw may I ask where I could get one like that?
hola,que madera es
Walnut
I see you have a new toy so you have to use it 😅
sometimes you just have to realize certain things, certain skills, are out of reach.... if I tried this, all I would eventually have left is a bunch of wood shavings...😞
great job my dude, maybe grab some rare earth magnets for lid closures like that . . .easy to put in, adds to the box quality and value and offers a bit more retention, which is often lacking in smaller boxes :) still freak'n wish i had half that stuff, still recovering from big pharma try'n to kilt me for the past 15yrs >< :) and videos like this help me sate the urge and endure the time until i have returned to a shop :) so thanks man!

That bottom leaves much to be desired. But you already know that.
