Tim, you made a subscriber out of me. I'll definitely be incorporating some of your techniques I'm my shop and on my channel. You really broke it all down while maintaining the ease of it. Thank you!
Good video. I suggest cutting rabbets and dados before cutting the box sides on the mitre saw. Longer piece and fewer passes on the table saw. Safer and better consistency in the cut. 10:00
Great video. I am now lowering my blade and covering it with my fence when I close shop. I agree with keeping your hands where they were for the cut and waiting for the blade to stop spinning. Safe, and for the miter saw, raising the blade while it is still spinning can damage the edge of your material. I wait until my table saw blade stops spinning before I take anything off or lifting anything over the table. I have seen a video where a woodworker was retrieving his cut by lifting it over the blade and back to his body when it slipped out of his hand, fell down, and contacted the blade. The blade shot the board horizontally and nailed the guy in the chest. Tim, thanks again for the sage advice and excellent woodworking demonstration/knowledge!
Hey Tim, I am planning on making 2 keepsake boxes for my daughters-in-law and must have watched 50+ videos! Yours is far and away the best one out there. Like the others, appreciate the safety tips (I never covered my blade with the fence when I left the shop - will now) and the straight-forward simple instructions help build some confidence to start the project. Subscribed soon as I finished watching. Thanks for this and look forward to the balance of the series.
Hey DAVID, thank you for watching in subscribing, really enjoyed your comments. If you have any questions about making the boxes or want clarity on anything simply reach out to me and I'll help you if I can.
Thank you for watching, and for the kind remarks I will be updating my table, saw safety video in the very near future. Hope you can turn in and check it out.
I love this video, Tim! I've been getting into making keepsake boxes lately. I'm pretty hooked. Last month I stopped by old family property where my grandparents and mom grew up (and I lived there a few summers) and picked up a green ash log for making keepsake boxes for my family. With its own sentimental value, I want to make nice keepsake boxes with it for family. I'm thinking of doing brass splines. Looking forward to your next keepsake box tutorial videos!
Thank you for viewing and commenting. I have a whole series of keepsake boxes in my short video feed go ahead and check those out for some ideas on how to do different style boxes.
Mr. Eggers, Nicely done sir! Rubberband clamps! Use them all the time after learning about it from Cammie's Garage. If we're milling our own stock we should be very careful of dimensions. You're discussion while building and additional written instruction is great, as you are clear and concise. Just saw this in my home page and after listening became a subscriber as my boxes are a bit different in construction and outcome. Will be looking forward to your excellent instructions.
Thank you for the great comments for viewing and subscribing. It is greatly appreciated. when I am milling my stock for my projects, I do not get very specific on my dimensions. I mostly go for what my eye says. Looks good. if you get a chance look up what is called the Fibonacci sequence, I find that using it helps me get my proportions on projects to be a little more visually appealing
@@TimEggersHighwheelWoodworks I'm familiar as I Used Seth Stem's book on furniture design as my base. I am a big follower or the Art Furniture movement. Krenov and Hucker are some big influences.LOL!
Excellent tips for the shop! I especially appreciate your focus on shop safety. I feel all too many woodworker become complacent around their tools. And just like we were told in the Marines, "Complacency kills".
Thanks for sharing some great tips on box building and safety Tim! All your videos create a teaching moment, sharing your experience and providing excellent safety tips for new woodworkers. Looking forward to seeing your short video series on small box design ideas! 😎👍
You have a new sub here. So many tips and ideas from this video. By far my favourite is the glue block. It will take time but I will get there. One concern though, when you were grooving the short pieces you red insert appeared to rock front to back. That was scary for me.
Thank you for watching and for viewing. You are correct in that the insert on my table saw appeared to be a little loose. Fortunately they have set screws in them so they can be adjusted to keep them stable.
Happy that you found it helpful. If you have not yet subscribed please do if you got any questions various aspects of a project reach out to me and I'll help you
As careful as he was being, I would suggest that you not wear clothing with loose sleeves when using a table saw. One wrong move and the blade can grab that and pull your arm into the blade.
Olá professor, adorei a sua aula de hoje, já me inscrevi no seu canal, vou acompanhar você aqui de Santa Catarina, Brasil 🇧🇷. Obrigado por compartilhar teu conhecimento. Abração.
The algorithm decided to bring your channel into my feed today. I usually watch a few videos of a channel before I consider subbing but..in the case of yours… as soon as you dropped that clamp and kept on filming yeah, good guy. Then you said..something to the effect of…” I like to drop my clamps just to show I can hit the floor on the first try”””😂 Where’s that button?? Look forward to future vids.
Tim, new viewer here. I have a Rigid Table saw, cast iron contractor. I’ve had it for 20 years. Recently, I went to use it to cut a 1/4” into a block of firewood. I was trying to step my cut up in 1/4” before taking to the band saw to finish the cut. I noticed that my belt was extremely loose and my blade was stopping during the cut. When I lifted up my blade, the belt tightened and I was able to continue my cut without an issue. I realized that by storing my blade below the table when not in use stretched my belt out. The belt is the same age as the table saw. Was it because the belt was old? If so, when do you suggest to change the belt. If not, how do I prevent that issue of a loose belt in the future?
Thank you for viewing and for the great question. I feel that changing the belt is probably the best bet for the solution because they do get old and stretch. Hope that works for you. Let me know.
Thank you for the kind comments. The glue block is simply a piece of wood that I put my glue onto and then I use a brush to take it from the block onto the joint in my piece.
Tim, you made a subscriber out of me. I'll definitely be incorporating some of your techniques I'm my shop and on my channel. You really broke it all down while maintaining the ease of it. Thank you!
I appreciate all the safety tips/reminders included in the video.
Glad it was helpful!
LOVE the safety techniques
Good video. I suggest cutting rabbets and dados before cutting the box sides on the mitre saw. Longer piece and fewer passes on the table saw. Safer and better consistency in the cut. 10:00
Love the integration of the safety tips.
Thank you for viewing and commenting safety has to be the number one priority in the shop

I have to say you might be the first person on TH-cam that really knows how to use a table saw properly . I cringe with most shop videos I watch .
Thank you for watching, and for the kind remarks I will be updating my table, saw safety video in the very near future. Hope you can turn in and check it out.

Terrific video! Liked the smooth delivery of information, and the safety tips along the way. I will be looking forward to the rest of the series.
Thank you for watching and the kind words. I will be starting to post shorts of different boxes as part of the series this afternoon.
A fine example of how a woodworking video SHOULD be made.

Thank you ever so much for viewing and commenting. I enjoy teaching and sharing teaching makes the teacher better.
Great video, but…. Where were you this past Summer when I was making five keepsake boxes for my grands!? 😊
Thank you for viewing, enjoying, and commenting. Making small boxes for the kids in the grandkids is where it all started for me.
Nice work and good tips Tim, thank you
Thank you for watching and commenting. As part of this series, I will be posting box examples starting this afternoon afternoon.
Muito bom 👍🏻 parabéns 😊
Thank you for viewing and commenting. It is appreciated.
Good safety reviews!
Thanks! 👍

Where’s that button??
Look forward to future vids.
Hey Ted, thank you for watching and commenting. One thing in my shop is we just keep on rolling and have fun.
Was that a piano action hanging on the wall in one of the shots?
Very observant. Yes, that is a piano hammer works. It's amazing how well engineered it really is. Thank you for watching. Thanks for the comments.
I am the 300. Nice and easy to build.
Thank you for viewing and commenting. It is genuinely
I would put the dado for the bottom and top before I cut the sides to length. Less cutting and chances for error. But that’s me.
Thank you for viewing and for the comment, it's a great way to do it

Great video, what's a glue block?
Thank you for the kind comments. The glue block is simply a piece of wood that I put my glue onto and then I use a brush to take it from the block onto the joint in my piece.
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
