Hi Thomas! Never push the wood too fast through the table saw or bandsaw. Let the blade do the cutting. Pushing the piece faster than what the blade can cut will give you poor cuts and is a safety issue.
@@thomasdavis4565 Don't be afraid to show off your failures. You can learn and show your development. Plus don't stop on a failure, keep going, you may like how it turns out.
I REALLY appreciate the indepth discussion about WHY you made certain design choices, I never would have consciously realized things like the shadow line on the bottom or darkening transitions, and now its something I can look for in my own future designs, please keep doing that
My son with special needs found this video and immediately said that's what we need to do, make everyone in the family one of these tissue boxes, so that's what we are doing. Just watched your bandsaw box video and realised it's your book I bought a couple of years back. Absolutely brilliant, best videos for woodworking on TH-cam. Thanks.👍
"...so it's more pleasant to touch...like me." "Scrap walnut you don't have to respec." "...and no, I don't care if you don't like CNCs." HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! It's the little comments like that that just sell it for me, dude. Nice as always!
Great tip on routing the end grain first to eliminate the tear out when you do the long grain. Finished product looks great and well said on the no tool shaming.
I wish my hardwood dealer was like Kencraft. They’re real cool guys, but you have to go in their office, tell them what you’re looking for, then they take you out in the warehouse and you grab what you came from. There’s no just browsing around like I wish there was. Great video and project, man. They look great.
respect the scrap wood too. I sometimes do woordworking for my wife's dollhouse and hardly any piece of wood is too small to use. So send all that scrap walnut to me!. (walnut being crazy expensive here..)
I don't know what you and Dan have been getting into but you just made a tissue box video make my eyes very happy great video and edit keep up great work
Love your videos. Been watching for years. When routing, try doing the long grain first, then end grain. That way, the the end grain that would have torn out is already gone and can't possibly tear out.
Wow! That's a lot of tissues! They look really good. I like the color the simple finish gave to the hickory. I actually thought they were made from cherry when I first saw your thumbnail.
"SAND IN THE PLACE WHERE YOU LIVE!!!!" There! I completed it in my head! Let somebody just try to go in there and pluck it out. It's a dark and scary place in there....
Me too! 🤣 And I saw it coming during both sanding breaks - the pitch of the sander sounded like “Sand”, the whole time anticipating, and I thought “watch, we’re only getting “sand” 😂 Whoever is editing is a madman!
Greatproject David! I would love to have a CNC as I have projects in mind that have repetitive steps and a CNC would simplify and quicken the tasks immensely. But alas, I have other needs that are more pressing and have to come first, so a jig saw it will have to be for the time being.
i can't speak for anyone else, but i hate CNC'ers 'cause i CANNOT afford one (yet...when i can, then i won't hate them anymore!)...j/k i don't hate them, i just can't wait to be able to get one of my own & BE one of them!
Probably because the vast majority of hobbyists can’t dump $3,000+ into one tool. Not very DIY friendly. It would be nice if the guy gave at little more thoughtful CNC alternative. Jig saw is ok, but not a great option, especially for batching out a lot of these. I was thinking just cut a large diameter oval out of plywood for a handheld plunge router guide.
The reason people dislike it is because it's so far from what traditional woodworking is and really what the essence of woodworking is. Working with your hands
Could you do the top by making a larger diameter oval as a guide for the router to run around and a scrap piece of plywood underneath? Seems like a good alternative to CNC and will Mae it just as easy to batch out a bunch.
Came out great David! Great use of the CNC (my pet peeve is why some people feel the need to comment on how someone else decides to outfit their shop). - Jim
Great message about you using the cnc. Nobody should feel guilty for having certain tools in their shop. That being said, I’m really jealous that you have a cnc! 🤣👊🏻
The worst thing to me about a box of tissues is that as they get used, they get further away from the hole, with the top one eventually falling down inside and away from the hole so you don't have the handy popup effect, requiring you to reach in and dig in that annoyingly dry stuff with your fingernails to find the edge of the next one. So I'd like to see (and make) a tissue box where you discard the cardboard box and put the stack of tissues into the wooden box. Make it with a fixed bottom, but get this: A top that is _not_ attached, but which follows the stack down as they get used, so that the tissues are always right up against the hole, and the top one always sticking out and able to be easily grabbed. So a fixed bottom and a 'follower' top, and toss the original cardboard box. What do you think?
Hi im 14 and i do wood work any tips

Buy all of your lumber from Kencraft!
Thanks

Remember your first try at a new technique or project won't be the best and that's ok. Practice makes perfect.
Get the plans for this tissue box! Great for selling at craft shows or Christmas gifts! makesomething.com/product/tissue-box-plans

Love those slow-mo shots of the hickory falling off the saw!
I bought your plans the other day, made this box successfully and I used a Forstner bit for my hole in the top.
Thanks Mike!

KenCraft is my favorite hardwood store. I just like the name for some reason.
I can see why!
Thanks for taking us to Kencraft with you.
Amen to your methods comment! Keeping doing “you” and be yourself. I love your channel because of who you are 👍🏻.
Nice gift idea! Love my CNC & Laser!
I would probably make a template and use a pattern bit on my router. No complaints here, good job!
So many ways to do a thing! Thanks Zach!
I thought the same thing. Why spend your time hating, when you could be making

Great video and project, man. They look great.
Just made two tissue boxes like yours. You gave great direction and mine turned out really well. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome!! Thank you!
Love the contrast and finish on the walnut and hickory - Well done sir!
Really good tip on routing end grain! I always get tear out
Here is a huge collection of 16,000 woodworking plans: *WoodPlan. info*
Looks like the new X-Carve comes with an 80's tape deck... sweet!
Fun build! I'd love to get a CNC machine, but I need a new sander first! 😎 (among other things)
I like that you drop in the tissues from the top. I hated the knit cover things my grandma had. The tissue box always fell out if you moved it.
I put the tops 3 up and cut them on the scroll saw.... definitely going to have to get an X carve one day.... thanks for the video bro
I never thought cutting 45s on a table saw could look so cool! Great video!
respect the scrap wood too. I sometimes do woordworking for my wife's dollhouse and hardly any piece of wood is too small to use. So send all that scrap walnut to me!. (walnut being crazy expensive here..)
I'll be in Toledo tomorrow, I'll make sure to stop by Kencraft, hope to see you there Dave!
Love the rationale for the design choices. Looks great
Simple design, easy to make, nice to the eye and useful. Thanks for sharing !
Very cool. I love my Xcarve. Thanks for making this box
Great project. Turned out great. CNC's Rock!
Wise words from the Make Something.
I really like this video. The lumber store footage is charming. The driving, it adds to the over thought and detail you produce in your videos. 👍🏼👍🏼
I dig it.
The shop must've smelled amazing while cutting all that Hickory.
They looks amazing thank you for sharing 😊
Nothing Fancy........Are you kidding? You and Camera Dan are both extra fancy!!!!!
- Nice project. Thanx 4 sharing.
Hi David, thanks for another great vid. I made one for a Christmas present.
I think this might be visually your best video yet. Gorgeous!
Thank you!!
No ones ever made cutting miters for tissue boxes seem so badass. 🤣 Im a subscriber now.
🙂
Nice work you make things look easy thanks for all your great tip
As always knocking it out of the park! Psssst.... now everyone knows what they are getting for 🎄 Christmas.
great workshop! nice video and project. thanks!
I don't know what you and Dan have been getting into but you just made a tissue box video make my eyes very happy great video and edit keep up great work
very good job thanks
You sure have a very talented cameraman really impressive
Love your videos. Been watching for years. When routing, try doing the long grain first, then end grain. That way, the the end grain that would have torn out is already gone and can't possibly tear out.
Thanks for the great gift idea. Certainly got ideas flowing in my head.
Cool vid!

Just bought two of your plans, I also got a laugh when the subtitles called you Davey’s Potato!
Looks great!!! love handmade gifts for the holidays!!
Awesome work David! 👍🏻👊🏻
👍🏻👊🏻
Cool project, and a really slick video. Cheers David.
Kencraft also sells an 80# bag of troll feed. Great work as always Sir.
Classic Piccuito!
Toledo is awesome. Ever make it down to the Akron Maker Space?
Love watching the projects where you batch stuff out. Some really good tips in the video. Good work as always.
We’ve been so good this year, and all we get is “sand”!!
Damn trolls ruin everything 🤣🤣🤣
My eye was twitching waiting for it to drop :D
"SAND IN THE PLACE WHERE YOU LIVE!!!!" There! I completed it in my head! Let somebody just try to go in there and pluck it out. It's a dark and scary place in there....
Me too! 🤣 And I saw it coming during both sanding breaks - the pitch of the sander sounded like “Sand”, the whole time anticipating, and I thought “watch, we’re only getting “sand” 😂 Whoever is editing is a madman!
Has to be one of my favorite table saw montages to date! Nice work guys! Great gift idea.
Thank you!

David S look at Dave Gatton CNC. It might be cheaper and easier to build then you think.
@@rchavez5056 Thanks for the input, I checked them out. Right now they are still a want that I have put on the back burner.
As always, great job!
awesome all-round production.
Wow nice...job
What a damn good idea and a great looking project man!
Oh my god! There are so many! Great job!
Awesome build as always, and Dan had some great shots in there too. Design-wise, I love the chamfered bottom edge, looks really sharp!
Very nice! I have X-Carve envy now. Thanks a lot...
"Respect the walnut." Damn right you respHEY HEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING THROWING THAT WALNUT AROUND THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS SCRAP WALNUT YOU HEATHEN
100% awesome.
100% Thanks!
I’m a big fan of your channel and the work you do. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I’m also here in the Buckeye state, Youngstown area.
Bravo good sir, bravo....
respect the walnut!
Looks great!. IDK why all the CNC hate. Its a tool. Thats it. Im sure the same hate was directed at a powered saw when they were first introduced.
i can't speak for anyone else, but i hate CNC'ers 'cause i CANNOT afford one (yet...when i can, then i won't hate them anymore!)...j/k i don't hate them, i just can't wait to be able to get one of my own & BE one of them!

About your cameraman
WOW! Super cool table saw shots!
And the tissue boxes look amazing too:)
Camera Dan is the best!
Nice video and project. Love the music. Beautiful boxes. Thanks for sharing! : )
Yeaaah bud preach it!
Nice job and thanks for the gift idea. It would be a smidge cooler if it had magnets to help attach this to a 1850’s power hammer.
Great comment about the CNC. CNC's are awesome. 👍👍👍
Deplorable Texan your right. It's a tool for woodworking just like a tablesaw.
Ahaha! David said “soft to the touch...just like me!” Great job! Looks beautiful. #CNCenvy
Strength aside, I like the look of the vertical grain.
'sides, it's how the tree meant it to be!
Great point!
CHECKED IT!!!!! NICE PROJECT.
Since you posted this video before Christmas, your family is now going to know what you are giving them...
FIRED!
Another good project but if you don't have a cnc just use an Oval Drill bit :) Merry christmas
Could you do the top by making a larger diameter oval as a guide for the router to run around and a scrap piece of plywood underneath? Seems like a good alternative to CNC and will Mae it just as easy to batch out a bunch.
I could build that too if I had name brand Kleenex. 😀
Really nice boxes and really good step to upgrade the tissue boxes. Great Video.
Regards from Bavaria #EuerKonstantin
TOP 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻
David, could you make a video explaining how to chose the right wood?
I don't really have a thought process. I just grab whatever I think will look good for that particular project.
My life would be much more epic if it were shot by Dan and edited into a montage by you guys...
haha!
Next project: Magnet LED Arduino Tissue Box.
Came out great David! Great use of the CNC (my pet peeve is why some people feel the need to comment on how someone else decides to outfit their shop). - Jim
Toledo! Hello from BG!
Hey neighbor!
5:11 " so it's pleasant to touch... Like me" im laughing so hard right now! Keep it up David.
Grrrrrrrrrreat! Beautiful project, amazing video, funny lines... ya got it all in this one!
Nice work! Maybe you should have cut the 45° miter before chopping it to a bazillions pieces though ;)
I know, right?! Next time!
With a long strip, I am more likely to drift away from the fence.
Great message about you using the cnc. Nobody should feel guilty for having certain tools in their shop. That being said, I’m really jealous that you have a cnc! 🤣👊🏻
That wasn't scrap, that was dowels! Nice video!
That new square dowel design! XD
Picciuto-isms. I could write a book! “Nice to touch...like me”. Classic. Oh, my husband is going to hear this one tonight 😉
haha!
Great video! I really dug the 45 degree cuts montage. =D
