Good lord! I watched this like 7 times! I have only been Wood working a few months, making this seems like acquiring a free round trip ticket to Mars ! I’m going to start a shoebox size version tomorrow with black walnut and Purple Heart. I transcribed every almost every word of this video. 😂 I have about 30 linear feet of material so maybe I’ll get a good one before I’m done! Thanks for sharing !👍
Hi Rob, it takes a true craftsman to be able to give such a complete narrative as they are working and never loose their train of thought, I take my hat off to you. Watching your videos is such a privilege. I don't really need one of these boxes but I am now going to make one anyway, I have already started a shooting board. As to what you do for the vets that has to be greatly admired, I was involved in the conscription for Vietnam here in Australia, we had a lottery system and if your birthday was drawn out by marbles from a barrel you went over. When our soldiers returned home from service crowds went to meet them and actually spat on them, it took years to be recognised by not only the people but the government as well so I know where you are coming from, congratulations for what you are doing.
They deserve so much more than they received. We love our vietnam vets. We have had one Vet from OZ apply and get selected for our program, i wish more would apply.
1:15:30 An old carpenter I worked with several years ago taught me that a brown paper bag is often just abrasive enough to burnish a lacquer finish between coats. I've used a piece of an old paper grocery bag and had very good results.
I am in awe at your skills and precision of work. It seems if you make it it will be your absolute best work with the best tools. The only way! These videos show how I need to start practicing to be able to do something similar. Your work is inspiring.
There are so many rock solid, common sense, tips in this video. Of course I should have been cutting my sides out of one block like that. It's faster, accurate, perfectly matched. Why didn't I think of that - Doh!
I think the thing that is most important is that woodworking is about problem solving. I completely understand why Rob does the purple heart program is because everything we do has curve balls whether it's woodworking or patriotism or life in general. The goal is to take the skills that you have the materials that you have and deal with it as best you can.
Rob i have been a fan of you for about two years since I fond you. I have been woodworking since late 70 's Lately I have been building boxes .Example boxes with spline in the joints for strength and looks ,bandsaw boxes , bird mouth joinery boxes and bowls . I am so tired of regular store bought hinges ,when i found your channel i new i was there. I would love to take your course ,that will not happen because of money . I will get the jig from you to drill the center of a dowel. I will try to make a jig to cut dowels ,I know you have one but it seems to be hard to set up. I am a big fan . Keep it up please .Julien Lamarche.
I always learn a lot from Rob's illuminating training videos. Each is an awesome demonstration of skill, patience and perseverance. What I don't understand, however, is how he could have made these boxes to sell! I can understand making them as gifts for friends and loved ones, or even for personal satisfaction. But even if he made them in batches, from an economic standpoint how could one charge enough to pay for the time of a highly skilled craftsman, the investment in the hand and power tools required, the cost of rent and overhead, and the value of the unique and beautiful hardwoods incorporated in each piece. Amazing.
Have u ever seen what he charges? His lil tiny wooden dovetail markers are 30 bucks.. literally an inch of wood. I’m sure these boxes are at least 160-200 bucks
Good morning Rob. Thank you so much for the incredibly detailed videos on hinge making. I did make my own tools for the dowel and hinge pin. They worked just as yours do. I also made a dowel tool for one of my friends and he wants to do the hinges as well. I directed him to your videos and told him to make sure to watch the whole thing as there is very important details on how everything works. I just went to your online store to check out your dowel drilling fixtures, and directed him with the link there so he could get the drilling tools. Great work from you Rob. You have inspired me to get into the wood hinge as you make it. No other hinge out there even comes close in style or precision. None of them have been attractive to me at all. Your hinge is the definitive hinge, hands down! There is no other. Period! My first attempt was on a live edge wine display box made from worm eaten oak. It goes without saying that cutting the dowel from worm eaten wood was a challenge. Note: Sharper is better. The box came out nice, but every hinge set gets better. Thanks again Rob.
@@RobCosmanWoodworking enjoying the saw... enjoying your videos... love the precision. Thanks again. Oh, and yes, tiny planes glued to paper... excellent.
For pushing tape into the dowel hole I use a chop stick with a masking tape bud on the end instead of an eraser on a pencil. I find it's just a little firmer. Thank you for all the teaching. Really inspired me
This is the only Rob Cosman video that I couldn’t follow...I think you tried to cram so much info into a short(ish) video and it became VERY confusing and hard to follow...LOVE YOUR WORK THO...keep it up Rob you are a KING among men
Rob, I love this box ! I have your hinge kit and have made a few after watching your video a dozen times, What blade do you use to get flat bottom cuts for the joints? Thanks Again for sharing your ideas and technics.
perfect timing. im in the process of gluing up panels for a scaled up version as we speak which means i need to hurry up and order the wood hinge drill kit
Hello from Saskatoon,Saskatchewan. It is an absolute pleasure to watch you at work. You are an amazing teacher , even in a TH-cam video. It would be amazing to take one of your workshops. Do you have any plans to take your class out west ? I realize with COVID-19 things are on hold for -- who knows how long but are there any plans in the distant future to take the class on the road ?
I really like your channel and have picked up some great tips, I do however wish that you would please consider offering imperial and metric measurements, as here in New Zealand we haven't used imperial measurements for many years, many thanks for your time and kind regards 😀
Rob, get yourself a Staedtler Mars plastic eraser you'll be able to cut it into any shape and it will never degrade and leave a mark. Is it the same jack plane you use for surface planing and on the shooting board? I wondered if the camber on the iron would affect this amount of precision. One of the best fine woodworking vids I've seen, like others, need to watch a few time to pick up all of the detail.
Outstanding both in craftsmanship but attention to detail in the smallest things. Would you make more than one at a time? For obvious reasons while your set up to make multiple boxes .
Amazing work, Rob~! I'm definitely going to pick up this kit to try my hand at this technique. So much nicer than a traditional hinge, be it a small or large box. Thanks for another first class lesson~!!!
Thank you for teaching us how to do this. I am saving up to buy your wood hinge kit. Have you ever done any stabilizing of the wood so that the lid stays flat? I’m talking about putting the wood into a vacuum pot with some hardener or epoxy or something so the air gets sucked out of the wood and the fluid gets drawn into where the air was.
All the way to the end! Thank you for showing the mistakes, or things that weren't planned for. So, what do you think a ballpark figure would be to sell one of these boxes (I'm in US, but can convert if you provide a Canadian figure)? Just a ballpark, assuming that the process and results are similar. Thanks Rob!
I would not do that to start off with , but if I did it I would start with a thick piece of wood and marke the curve on the sides then plane out the waste wood
I’ve watched a lot of woodworking instructional videos over the past few years. I would rate this one as the best I’ve seen. Rob, the video ran approximately 90 minutes, but in real time, how long did this build take?
Amazingly informative video just like all the others. Thank you! I have a question that I wonder if you can help me with. I am planning flute boxes using these hidden hinges but I want to make them out of a single resawn piece of wood. This means that the box cut groove needs to be stopped at the ends. I therefore have to either cut the end of the groove square with a chisel - I’m not sure my chisel skills would make that look neat enough - or find a way to make the end of outside dowel pieces round to fit the routed profile. Can you give me any advice please about how to do this please? Many thanks. Keith
Hi Rob Just watched this brilliant video on business card holder box 👌 I don’t suppose you have your dims in metric as I’m in the Netherlands and would bevestigt for my 70 year old brain ?? I know your main audience is from Canada and USA but would livefont assistance with this please kind regards Chris “The Aussie living in the Netherlands “🇳🇿🙏🙏
Instead of knocking the guide piece over 24:24, why not put a couple/few pieces of paper behind the piece to bring the cut to size. That way the stop stays rigid and you can control precisely the amount you want to take off.
Just adding to previous comment. Could you please let me know the part number of the whiteside round nose core box bit you use, I noticed the packet on your bench. ( Possibly #1404) ?
Well I am trying to understand your question. I think you may be referring to the way I am moving the stop, which can be confusing. The best way to visualize it is they key represents the thickness of the saw blade. When you cut the "tails" (The maple) we are referencing on the left side of the blade, then when we cut the "Pin" (Walnut) we are referencing on th eopposite side of the blade and thus the spacer is needed to make that movement
I love your extraordinary and fine work. But I wouldn't plane the Hinge. It looks very fine, if you can see the functionality. Furthermore you can see, where is front an where is rear.
We named it the “adjuSTAR”. Tired of struggling with hard to turn knobs. We have them for Woodriver planes and Lie-Nielsennplanea. On our site www.robcosman.com
I started making these to sell as a source of income back in a day when money was tight. A dovetail in the view of the average person held no significance, at least not one they would spend extra on. Another downside of removing manual training from our public school system.
Joli travail, mais... Je disais donc très joli travail du bois mais petit problème de conception, il est très difficile d'attraper une carte dans une boite qui fait exactement la taille de la carte. On penche la boite, on secoue et souvent beaucoup de cartes tombent en même temps, à moins d'avoir un fond à 2 épaisseurs. La plus grande partie sur l'avant supporte les cartes, l'arrière de la largeur d'un doigt est moins épaisse, ainsi en appuyant sur l'arrière des cartes, elles se soulèvent et on peut alors en attraper une sans problème. Sinon merci pour la leçon de menuiserie ! ___________________________________ Nice work, but... So I said very nice wood work but small design problem, it is very difficult to catch a card in a box that is exactly the size of the card. You tilt the box, you shake and often a lot of cards fall out at the same time, unless you have a 2-ply bottom. The largest part on the front supports the cards, the back of the width of a finger is less thick, so by pressing on the back of the cards, they rise and you can then grab one without problem. Otherwise, thanks for the carpentry lesson!
There's no doubting your ability to turn even the simplest of things into beautiful works of art Rob, however, when your apron has "My hand tool coach" embroidered onto it and you hear a table saw, a bandsaw, a belt sander and a router whirring away in the background it made your quotation look somewhat hypocritical. Any chance of doing a small project that we can follow along at home where no machining is used in the process?
I have been making the business card size boxes with the wood dowel hinge with the aid of your hinge making tools. Having great success with them with only one seemingly persistent issue...and that is a slight gap between the lid top and the box front. I've checked the top and it is square and not cupped or bowed any. Any suggestions as to what may be causing this issue?
remove a little of the back so the top doesn't meet the back when closed, I found that this helps when the hinge relief cut wasn't quite at the right depth.
@@RobCosmanWoodworking Great - OK. I'll check mine - see if they're flat, not sure which model I have. Still watching lots of your stuff and just started a workbench styled after your beginner bench. Same top and same style base but redwood rather than ply so I can practice some joinery. Really enjoying the process - so thank you.
An American woodworker has also to be a math genius. I have no idea how it would look like if I only see the measurements at 7:52. I wonder if you had to add or multiply measures how you can do it in your head?

When i watch rob, he inspires me to tune a tool immediately after his show.
Hahaha this is one of the most relatable comments ever.
Wow! This is precision carpentry! Watched the entire 1-1/2 hour video in one sitting! Fascinating work! Thank you Rob!
There are so many gems in your videos. Things that make me want to smack my head and say dummy why didn’t you think of that.
Keep watching and soon you will have a treasure chest full of gems!!!!
You're making a positive difference with your content.
never stop making videos.
What a great video from a master of his craft. I feel like I should have paid for this video. Great job and thank you. !

The wood is mostly scrap..js...
Simply amazing. Thanks for the detailed instruction. Its good to see when things don't quite work out, so that we can see how to fix things.
Thank you for the video. For my experience and abilities this is just in time to have these completed for Christmas 2025. 😀
Wonderful! Thats why we are releasing a series of videos on wood hinge boxes now so folks can make them for christmas
"I wasn't planning on this"....I say that more than you do! Very nice work! going to have to try one of those. Thanks for posting this.

Very nice work Rob. Your a gifted guy.enjoyed this very much.
Outstandind work. I'm impressed
Fantastic tutorial! Your easy explanation of a precisely crafted box made it hard to turn away from, thank you Rob!
Another awesome tutorial from Rob. I learn something from every video he uploads.
Well you keep watching and I will keep making them
Gonna make one of these to keep my wood hinge kit in :)
That spacer trick for cutting the joints is really cool. I'm gonna have to use that on my next box
Let me know how it turns out
Thank you Rob! I enjoyed the wood hinge technique, lots of details.
Thnaks, give it a try
Let’s see Paul Allen’s business card box
I guess you really love your shooting board, Shoot!
This method seems more accessible than the 2-router dedicated jig in your DVD- thanks for sharing.
It sure is! That is why COL Luther and I developed it
@@RobCosmanWoodworking Nice! Can this method be used for a joint with more than 1 tail, similar to your other larger boxes?
Rob, I love this box ! I have your hinge kit and have made a few after watching your video a dozen times,
What blade do you use to get flat bottom cuts for the joints?
Thanks Again for sharing your ideas and technics.
Beautiful

Hello from Saskatoon,Saskatchewan.
It is an absolute pleasure to watch you at work. You are an amazing teacher , even in a TH-cam video. It would be amazing to take one of your workshops. Do you have any plans to take your class out west ? I realize with COVID-19 things are on hold for -- who knows how long but are there any plans in the distant future to take the class on the road ?
Great video! True craftsman.
Thanks 👍

Wow that is a good idea to gang-cut your tenons and then rip them.
What can I say Rob! Outstanding mate. kmdc in Oz.
THnaks kieth.....SO make soem boxes down under
I was trying to tell you no wax on lid, couldn't hear me. lol thanks for the videos and tools.
I really enjoy our method of teaching and I think you have officially turned me on to hand planners:)
Rob, get yourself a Staedtler Mars plastic eraser you'll be able to cut it into any shape and it will never degrade and leave a mark.
Is it the same jack plane you use for surface planing and on the shooting board? I wondered if the camber on the iron would affect this amount of precision.
One of the best fine woodworking vids I've seen, like others, need to watch a few time to pick up all of the detail.
Excellent , thank you !
You are welcome! Thnaks for watching
Outstanding both in craftsmanship but attention to detail in the smallest things. Would you make more than one at a time? For obvious reasons while your set up to make multiple boxes .

Thnaks for watching and commenting. Send me some pics of your first hinged box
Brilliant! 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it Thanks so much for watching and commenting
Thank you for teaching us how to do this. I am saving up to buy your wood hinge kit. Have you ever done any stabilizing of the wood so that the lid stays flat? I’m talking about putting the wood into a vacuum pot with some hardener or epoxy or something so the air gets sucked out of the wood and the fluid gets drawn into where the air was.
Great video. Love your your style.
Thanks
Thank you
You're welcome
Dang. I've been cutting and splitting some leftover logs and there's a bunch of nice spalted maple that would look really good for this
There you go. Make some boxes
All the way to the end! Thank you for showing the mistakes, or things that weren't planned for. So, what do you think a ballpark figure would be to sell one of these boxes (I'm in US, but can convert if you provide a Canadian figure)? Just a ballpark, assuming that the process and results are similar. Thanks Rob!
Hi Rob, I recently bought the kit, it's 👍. I would just like to confirm, is it a 1/4 radius core box bit that you use. Regards Steve.
Loved the hinge making. Drilling for the dowell was awesome. Was that a special jig you made?
Way back in 1986, been selling constantly updated versions since 2001. RobCosman.com
Inspiring to get me motivated to try making these! Q: What method would you use to make the top of the box curved from the front to back?
I would not do that to start off with , but if I did it I would start with a thick piece of wood and marke the curve on the sides then plane out the waste wood
I’ve watched a lot of woodworking instructional videos over the past few years. I would rate this one as the best I’ve seen. Rob, the video ran approximately 90 minutes, but in real time, how long did this build take?

When are you releasing the video for routing the hinge groove?
Instead of knocking the guide piece over 24:24, why not put a couple/few pieces of paper behind the piece to bring the cut to size. That way the stop stays rigid and you can control precisely the amount you want to take off.
Could you give me an idea of how much do you sell one of your boxes at the beginning of the video? I love them all...
Hi Duke, I would sell my boxes at high end gallaries and they would fetch $100 - $200 each
Rob. May I ask why the wood hinge has segmented pins and not a full length pin?
Just adding to previous comment. Could you please let me know the part number of the whiteside round nose core box bit you use, I noticed the packet on your bench. ( Possibly #1404) ?
Is there a hand tool method you would recommend for cutting the half rounds?
Maybe I missed it, but what is that little "jig" you use to drill the centered holes in the dowel ends, and where did it come from?

We sell them on our website. Here is the link: robcosman.com/collections/woodhinge
@22:08 Can you give more detail on why the inside was cut then the outside? Thank you.
Well I am trying to understand your question. I think you may be referring to the way I am moving the stop, which can be confusing.

If that's the walnut I gave you in the Seattle 2018 class, its Bastone walnut. Its a sap woop piece that has some cool blonde with figure too.
I think it is. I totally remember that now that you said it

Rob, can you tell me more about that plane depth adjustment knob? Looks like it had spokes or spurs??
We named it the “adjuSTAR”. Tired of struggling with hard to turn knobs. We have them for Woodriver planes and Lie-Nielsennplanea. On our site www.robcosman.com
great kick back need new zero clearance incert
Yup
Hey Rob, why did you choose to not use dovetails? It would make that box really pop.
I started making these to sell as a source of income back in a day when money was tight. A dovetail in the view of the average person held no significance, at least not one they would spend extra on. Another downside of removing manual training from our public school system.

Any chance of doing a small project that we can follow along at home where no machining is used in the process?
I have been making the business card size boxes with the wood dowel hinge with the aid of your hinge making tools. Having great success with them with only one seemingly persistent issue...and that is a slight gap between the lid top and the box front. I've checked the top and it is square and not cupped or bowed any. Any suggestions as to what may be causing this issue?
remove a little of the back so the top doesn't meet the back when closed, I found that this helps when the hinge relief cut wasn't quite at the right depth.
Your Bessey clamps - do you manage to keep the plastic covers, glue them on, or not bother with them?
No throw those plastic covers away. Th ebessey tradesmans have flat surfaces, that what you need.
@@RobCosmanWoodworking Great - OK. I'll check mine - see if they're flat, not sure which model I have. Still watching lots of your stuff and just started a workbench styled after your beginner bench. Same top and same style base but redwood rather than ply so I can practice some joinery. Really enjoying the process - so thank you.
Since I don’t have a bandsaw, and these cuts are so short, can I simply use my Cosman Medium Tenon saw?
Absolutely
Around @7:37 I think everyone should already be convinced Metric is better... hehehe... Jokes aside, great video!
Thanks! 😃 I am to old to switch now
I had a jammer when I seen that walnut offcut go zipping passed your ear like a Slapshot from Zdeno Chara 😬
An American woodworker has also to be a math genius. I have no idea how it would look like if I only see the measurements at 7:52. I wonder if you had to add or multiply measures how you can do it in your head?
Hi Rob 😀 can you review the dmt extra extra fine stone?
I will tell COL Luther to put it on the to do list
@@RobCosmanWoodworking my man
How do you take out the business card if the box is sized perfectly.
Their called nails like at the end of your fingers
