So not only is this vid helpful to a backyard wood maker but your times of being a regular guy forgetting something makes me smile and feel good that I'm not the only one out there.
Even the guys on YT with 10’s of thousands of subscribers watching them, aren’t “perfect” I think there’s a level of normality to all of us… though some better than others, we’re all human and won’t achieve (what we deem) perfection, every time. That’s the beauty of wood working. . . Figuring out ways that work for (you) to be as efficient and effective as possible. 👌🏼👌🏼
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THAT SHOP IS YOUR AMERICAN FLAG ON THE WALL, AS A VETERAN I APPRECIATE IT. ALL YOUR PROJECTS IN THIS VIDEO LOOK GREAT. TALKING WHILE WORKING AND FILMING MAKES FEEL LIKE I'M RIGHT THERE IN YOUR SHOP. THANKS FOR THE TUTORIAL VIDEO. 🇺🇸✌️👍🏻
I have made sliding top boxes like these before, using various joinery methods, including but joints like you did, as well as mitred corners with splines, and finger (box) joints. On every one, instead of using scrap pieces for the little handle on the lid, I saved the piece that I cut off the end piece and used that. It also has the "advantage" of camouflaging which end is the opening end,and looks quite good. I do also like your way of using a contrasting colour as well.
Three great little projects. With the popularity of making things from pallets, making pallets out of a fine wood is beautiful irony. Adding rabbets to the wine box pieces is the simplest solution for hiding the slots. Miters are cool but they can be a little persnickety. It's easy to sneak up on the perfect rabbet. For the pencil cup, I think the oversized and chamfered based looks bulky no matter how much of a chamfer you use. Using the contrasting white oak, cut a piece the size of the box and then cut rabbets on two sides of the base to accept the bottom pieces of walnut. You get straight sides, top to bottom, and a little structural detail from the alternating thinner and thicker edges of the white oak base. Well made video showing how to make all three projects. It was long but each segment was concise. Well done.
Hello 👋 I like the box you did - I would fit good Malt 25yo Scotch 🥃 whiskey in there, and - leave enough room for a decent Edinburgh Chrystal whiskey glass, plus the PW coaster for a tad of “authenticity” to sit the whiskey glass on, a tiny piece of coal, plus a little tartan ribbon on the box and - give it to someone who knows all about Scotland and Whiskey and appreciated the gift !! Thanks 🙏 Take care and stay safe 🥶😷 🔥🪵 James 🏴✌️
I know this is two years old, but just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed the video. Regarding the multi-tool, I use mine all the time, however, more for custom renovation projects. They are extremely loud, so in the shop I prefer the pull saw.
Pretty inspiring, 2 things I will do different. 1st I will put my finish on before I assemble, will only need to do touch ups and will save time. 2nd, instead of dowels if you mix sawdust in glue to make a paste, then feel holes saves time and is cheaper, God Bless!
Good suggestions! Also cut the dowels shorter than needed. Stain them any color you want or burn the ends then drive them in flush. I have also made a jig to create my own dowels using a hand planer blade and a drill.
I sound like you when I'm doing stuff in my shop. I'm constantly talking and explaining how I'm screwing up, but to the cat. He doesn't even subscribe, jerk.
The hard oil and wax finish on the little pallet coasters looks best to me. You are so right about forgetting the screws, it does definitely happen! The contrasting little handle on the wine box was a nice touch.
All three projects turned out real nice. On the wine box, cut some walnut square to fill the voids left in the datos, plus the walnut plugs to cover the screws. To make it, Extra fancy,... I liked both the idea of a pencil holder, and / or a light box. Looks good with both chanfers
I would suggest you use a plug cutter to make the plugs to cover the screws.That way you can match the grain and as they are the same material, they become almost invisable
I like to see a woodworker using more of the job site tools I’m used to like a chop saw, Brad gun, and even a multi tool. And even sharing a sore back carrying that same planer around when needed
Nice little and quick projects. A few suggestions for the wine box. Use shallow rabbits ( as deep as the grooves) to attach the ends will hide the grooves on the ends. I would cut plugs for the screw holes. The plugs are easily trimmed with a chisel as you are cutting with them grain not across the grain. You could use either the same wood to make nearly invisible plugs or a contrasting wood for highlighted plugs and I think the face grain looks better than the end grain of the dowels.
I love the Deft Lacquer, but discovered a tip on another channel. If you buy (or build) a cheap lazy susan, you can turn the piece you are spraying without touching it. Allows you to easily do all four sides.
Great vid. When cutting many small pieces out of longer strips like you did for the pencil holder and coaster you could use painters tape to secure the longer strips together then cut multiple 4" or 5" pieces at once instead of cutting singles. A bit more efficient, safer and accurate.
I use Mod Podge for the finish on a lot of my projects. It comes in Matte, Satin and Gloss. The more coats, the more protection. Just use small brushes to reach in those little places.
Nice builds. My wife put together some cork board coasters so she asked me to make a holder for them. This was one of our Christmas gifts for family and friends.
For the wine bottle box. Those little square holes made by the blade run thru can be plugged with sawdust and glue. Let harden & sand. A nice look is a darker wood sawdust to make the little squares pop.
I think the pencil holder would make a great night light for a kids room. You could easily put a small LED bulb in there and then put your other base as a topper.
Love the wine box and the coasters, I prefer the spray on finish on the coasters andI liked the quarter inch chamfer better than the larger chamfer on the pen/pencil holder all three projects turned out nice.
I have made a few of the wine boxes myself. You could have mitered your corners to allow the wood grain to match on 3 of the 4 corners and “waterfall” the piece. A small difference to make the project a lot better. Then if you wanted to keep the dowel accents, rockler makes a corner jig which looks cool.
A quick tip for dowels, if you have a metal tap and die set you can run square profile hardwood through the required diameter die. cut a length of hardwood square and put it in a hand drill chuck and slowly cut the dowel profile with the die, you can finish with sandpaper .....
Or, using either a router with a rabbet bit or the table saw, make a rabbet in the bottom of the boards for the plywood to sit inside attached with brad nails and glue. In fact this is an easier method than cutting a slot for the plywood board.
I have found that staining, painting your project after cutting all the parts and sanding is the best way to cover the entire project. Took me half the time doing it that way. Touch up is hardly done. I’m gentle on build. Remember to compensate for the layer of paint/stain, it might throw your build off a slight bit.
As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement th-cam.com/users/postUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!
All are beautiful and that pencil holder would make a fantastic lantern with a battery operated candle so it didn’t burn, then the other base as the lid, would look awesome, its nice as a pen/pencil holder too. TFS. I love the winter box it looks fantastic. It would be awesome with a couple of glasses and a couple of coasters in the box too for a gift.
Love it retired contractor disabled don't subscribe very often. Due to the screws any video I will hear. I know more mistakes are made like that it's a human thing and I know other people cover it up like they just never make a mistake. Rape video my friend. I look forward to more. And thought I'd let you know when your little pencil holder I possibly only thing I would have done. Possibly another little camper on both sides recessing the bottom up into it just a little bit. Giving it a fitted custom look. Great job keep doing what you love.
on the wine box, for the open holes at the ends from the slots, cut down small strips of wood (I prefer a contrasting color) and glue small sections in as "plugs" and it gives a nice, finished look
I by far prefer the base with the wider champers, cheers. While you were completing the wine box, I noticed the cardboard box with shavings and thought it would be nice to make wooden boxes with covers for gift giving. Might be also sell easily.
Great builds. You need to put caster wheels on your big work bench so you can move it around the shop so you don’t have to use extension cords. Or better yet you can Mount a power cord under the top like I did and you can just run a cord to that and plug in several things at once
Thanks for your video. I really liked contrast of the wood colors. I’ve thought about making some coasters but the ones I’ve seen don’t absorb moisture from a glass. Probably would have to use a cork product. And the pencil holder. I thought the same thing as you, a candle holder. I think it would look good with the light coming thru it. Good tips and thanks.
Ryobi makes an 18V drill and driver kit to for with your brad nailer. There is something glorious about having one set of rechargeable batteries to power all your tools. Don't buy more than one battery technology or you wind up with lots of different batteries and chargers. Stick with the Ryobi 18V system and you can power ALL your tools from the same set of batteries and chargers. Do you want a shop full of tools or a shop full of chargers?
ohh man, the part where you put the plugs in before the screws.. this is totally something I'd do haha. I just finished my first woodworking project, which was a pedalboard that had onboard power and in/out leads. Well, I knew that I would need to solder the jacks to the leads from inside the board as the jacks wouldn't pass through the hole for the panel mount jack... so what did I decide to do?? I soldered them up on my bench and then realized I messed up and had to do them all over again...:P
1st time watching you, I really enjoyed these as they're on the beginner side, you gave great instructions and showed us how to do everything that you did along the way. I just bought a table saw, Delta half price at Lowe's last week, my space is limited so I really need to think about where it's going to go before we assemble it, looking forward to being able to make more projects, a planer is next.
Yes, I learn something new every day. I appreciate how you go step by step an explain it as you go. I'm fairly new so any suggestions or idea' on 'how to' is always appreciated.
Great video. Many of the ideas will transfer to other projects. I actually prefer having the grooves for the sliding panels show at the ends of the box. It gives the impression of a hand-made box, which in turn, gives the impression of hand-made wine. I think it looks more special.
Great video. I’m also starting with pallet wood I got a big pile of broken down pallets in my garage just got to get out there and build something lol. Can’t wait to see you build your shop furniture.
Just a thought but for the wine box maybe 1/4" brass square bar would be a good alternative to plugging the holes in the end and they would also act as an accent.
Bora has a folding planer/cut-off table with modular cross bars than can be adjusted for differ sized units. It also has adjustable extension arms to support longer wood stock.
I just found you and I have to say I'm so impressed and love your instructions. Easy to follow and even as a newbie I feel confident I'll be able to do this! Thanks so much and I look forward to following you!
I been building since I was a toddler thanks to my dad and I still use pallets when I can lol there is this one kind I get that the wood is some type of hardwood with a deep red color but no idea what it is. Customers love it tho
Loved those ideas. I wouldn’t change a thing. However, I would have just added little color contrasting plugs in the exposed grooves of the corners. But that’s just aesthetics and something that came to mind.
I’m wondering, for the wine box, if you were trying to save money & trying to maximise production, if you were planning to sell them etc you could make them more rustic. You could omit all the sanding, also omit the screws and just use the dowels to join. Plus I wonder if you could run the cover through the table saw to make a couple mm grove for an opening handle. Could also drill a couple of holes in the top and use a piece of rope for a handle… Good job sir!
To clean up those dado cuts on the front end you could potentially also set up a finished length on both ends and plunge cut with the table saw on the front end. This way you'd just cut from both ends of the board to make your long pieces have a bit at the end that isn't sawed through then take your short sides from the middle
Awesome ideas, much appreciated. I'm thinking you could have cut a slot in the end of the dowels and added 'wedges' of a darker material for that contrast you were looking for - without having to leave your shop. Nice!
thank you for showing your mistakes. it happens to all of us :) thanks for the video. i love the fact that you did 3 projects. the pencil holder could inspire to make a bit of a larger one for kitchen utensils :)
Definitely going to try to make that last container. It would be great for a remote cubby so my wife can stop losing the TV remote and telling me to find it for her.
For the bottle box, I will add a TO, FROM and DATE (incl. year) under the box, where each person giving the box (with a bottle!!) away can write that info, and each new recipient can see who got the box before him/her, by whom, and for how long the box has been traveling from person to person! Just an idea ❤
So not only is this vid helpful to a backyard wood maker but your times of being a regular guy forgetting something makes me smile and feel good that I'm not the only one out there.

I love the pallet coasters, I'm going to try making a strip of 20 of them and just cut them out instead of glueing one by one.
I have made sliding top boxes like these before, using various joinery methods, including but joints like you did, as well as mitred corners with splines, and finger (box) joints.

I’m glad you add in all the compilations that come with trade work. Not everything goes smooth all of the time
Haha I try to keep it real.
Thanks for an informative and real woodworking video. Sometimes the others show their mistakes but not always. Makes it feel more relatable.
Hello 👋
I like the box you did - I would
fit good Malt 25yo Scotch 🥃 whiskey
in there, and - leave enough room
for a decent Edinburgh Chrystal
whiskey glass, plus the PW coaster
for a tad of “authenticity” to sit
the whiskey glass on, a tiny piece
of coal, plus a little tartan ribbon
on the box and - give it to someone who

@@airplayamusements5717 excellent. God Bless!
I like the narrow chamfer. It gives the finished product an added dimension.
😊😊👍
LOL! Thank you for leaving in the little bloopers! Nice to see we all slip up here and there
Haha there are plenty of those!
8:53 you could patch the groove holes with little square pegs from the first part you cut off due to the knot.
I was thinking the same thing he did cut off that little piece this is John saying good night
I sound like you when I'm doing stuff in my shop. I'm constantly talking and explaining how I'm screwing up, but to the cat. He doesn't even subscribe, jerk.
Haha well I talk to my shop dog when the camera isn't on so we have that in common.
😂😂😂😂
LOL I'M GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE
I got a cat and dog like that!
That so made me laugh

Thank you for watching and the feedback. Good idea.
I would suggest you use a plug cutter to make the plugs to cover the screws.That way you can match the grain and as they are the same material, they become almost invisable
Those small holes could be covered with the same plugs you used for the screws.
Very fine job on all projects. Thanks for sharing.

I like that you leave your mistakes in the video.
Made several sets of pallet coasters from cedar. Not a wine person but I will try that pencil box.
While watching the part making the pencil holder, I couldn't help but thinking about when I was little and building things with Lincoln Logs!
Absolutely love the fact you didn't edit the issues, makes it more personable. Great Job.
I like to be as transparent as possible lol.

I use Mod Podge for the finish on a lot of my projects. It comes in Matte, Satin and Gloss. The more coats, the more protection. Just use small brushes to reach in those little places.
I don’t have the patience for that kind of tedium anymore. Gettin’ old maybe?
A sprayer pays for itself in material costs in 1-3 average jobs.
It's because I'm getting old and am retired that I have time to fuss with detail. 😉@@fishhuntadventure
I love the screw-up with the screws! It makes you SO HUMAN--like all of us!
Nice builds. My wife put together some cork board coasters so she asked me to make a holder for them. This was one of our Christmas gifts for family and friends.
That's a cool collaboration!

That's what I as thinking! Maybe I'll make a larger similar version and do that!
@@WalkersWoodworks I liked the current size because it can fit on a nightstand without taking up too much room.
Love the wine box and the coasters, I prefer the spray on finish on the coasters andI liked the quarter inch chamfer better than the larger chamfer on the pen/pencil holder all three projects turned out nice.
Agreed, Spray lacquer looks the best. Nice builds.
Thanks! Appreciate it. Yea I like spray quite a bit.

There's some great ideas here! An easier method to hide the rabbets on the wine box could also be to use mitre joints.
Or cut some small plugs from the scrap cut off for where the lid slides in and glue 'em in.

I had the same thought.
I like the idea you mentioned about making the pencil holder into a candle using the other base on top.

Really appreciate that! Thanks for the support!
I love the wine bottle gift box, and already thought of a few improvements.
Good to finally see someone on here using the gripper!!
i'm just starting out in wood working with pallet wood and like these easy projects thanks again
Thanks for watching!
Loved yr video. I bet most people do stuff like that all the time but would never show it. Honest and down to earth. Nice box
Thank you!
Good ideas and easy to do. I’d add some felt too the bottom of the coasters and pencil holder. Just my opinion. Thanks for the video.
All are beautiful and that pencil holder would make a fantastic lantern with a battery operated candle so it didn’t burn, then the other base as the lid, would look awesome, its nice as a pen/pencil holder too. TFS. I love the winter box it looks fantastic. It would be awesome with a couple of glasses and a couple of coasters in the box too for a gift.
nice work!! would love to have your shop set up! no fluff, all the basics! 👍
Thanks!!
Awesome ideas! And loved seeing you actually make each one as well to show how simple yet elegant the final product was.
I like the wider one :) Thanks so much

Have used both rigid and ryobi. Ryobi has out done Rigid every time. Even with warranty.
Great builds. You need to put caster wheels on your big work bench so you can move it around the shop so you don’t have to use extension cords. Or better yet you can Mount a power cord under the top like I did and you can just run a cord to that and plug in several things at once

Haha already down that path. But I do have the new 7 piece Ryobi HP+ kit now. I used the drill and driver in my latest video. Check it out. 👍
I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who makes mistakes!!!!
Haha I make more than I would like to admit.
Great ideas since summer is almost over and Christmas is just around the corner. ❤❤❤
Thanks for this video. You're a great DIY'er
Thanks!

Well that's being honest about how it really go in a wood working shop nothing goes right all the time 👍
always enjoy your presentation, craftsmanship and results...when you post a vid, I'm watching! thanks for sharing
1st time watching you, I really enjoyed these as they're on the beginner side, you gave great instructions and showed us how to do everything that you did along the way.
I just bought a table saw, Delta half price at Lowe's last week, my space is limited so I really need to think about where it's going to go before we assemble it, looking forward to being able to make more projects, a planer is next.
That is awesome! My first table saw was that same one actually. Have fun in the shop!
Yes, I learn something new every day. I appreciate how you go step by step an explain it as you go. I'm fairly new so any suggestions or idea' on 'how to' is always appreciated.
I will be doing more videos like this so stay tuned!
"It'll work better if I put the screws in first."
That statement defines the chaos that is my entire life. HAHAHAHA
Haha same...
You could drill the dadoes out a little and put dummy plugs in to complement the dowels on the sides. Good ideas… saved this video.
Great video. Many of the ideas will transfer to other projects. I actually prefer having the grooves for the sliding panels show at the ends of the box. It gives the impression of a hand-made box, which in turn, gives the impression of hand-made wine. I think it looks more special.
That's a good way to look at it. Thanks for watching!
Great video. I’m also starting with pallet wood I got a big pile of broken down pallets in my garage just got to get out there and build something lol. Can’t wait to see you build your shop furniture.
It's a great material to work with. I still use it from time to time when I'm looking for rustic style.
Just a thought but for the wine box maybe 1/4" brass square bar would be a good alternative to plugging the holes in the end and they would also act as an accent.
True! That would be cool for sure.
The coasters look amazing but i would probably use a sealer sine coaster's main purpose is to deal with moisture on daily bases
That wine box is nice. I think I would have made some 1/4" square dowels to fill them in.
Bora has a folding planer/cut-off table with modular cross bars than can be adjusted for differ sized units. It also has adjustable extension arms to support longer wood stock.
👍👍
Now some 1/4 inch square dowel for the rabbits and it would really be complete
Nice work - I also agree that sirens are a nightmare haha
Lol they are so annoying
The moment I realized you made a mini pallet out of walnut... 👏👏👏
Haha high class around here.
I just found you and I have to say I'm so impressed and love your instructions. Easy to follow and even as a newbie I feel confident I'll be able to do this! Thanks so much and I look forward to following you!
If you inset the small sides in a rabbet made at the end of the long ones, the groove ends get covered up, and you also have less endgrain showing
That's true.
Awesome. I think I'll try some of the coasters. Thank You!
Thank you for watching! Good luck in the shop.
It happens! Love the honesty, it’s nice for a change
maybe on the wine bottle box you could use 1/4 inch square dowel to fill the holes. very nice video.
Probably could yes.
I been building since I was a toddler thanks to my dad and I still use pallets when I can lol there is this one kind I get that the wood is some type of hardwood with a deep red color but no idea what it is. Customers love it tho
Wow! Great video...thanks for sharing!
Loved those ideas. I wouldn’t change a thing. However, I would have just added little color contrasting plugs in the exposed grooves of the corners. But that’s just aesthetics and something that came to mind.
Box looked really good. I also dig the pallet coasters. Gonna make some haha
Thanks! That's awesome. They are fun little projects.
Hello sir
I’m wondering, for the wine box, if you were trying to save money & trying to maximise production, if you were planning to sell them etc you could make them more rustic. You could omit all the sanding, also omit the screws and just use the dowels to join. Plus I wonder if you could run the cover through the table saw to make a couple mm grove for an opening handle. Could also drill a couple of holes in the top and use a piece of rope for a handle… Good job sir!
I love The Cutting Board oil look
Really nice ideas. Many thanks for showing this to us👍
I really enjoyed some simple easy projects to fund bigger projects and toys. Also, your humor on this was hysterical! 🤣 Keep yo the great work.
Haha I'm glad someone noticed. I talk to myself like that all the time so I decided to start inckuding it. Thank you for the feedback and support!
To clean up those dado cuts on the front end you could potentially also set up a finished length on both ends and plunge cut with the table saw on the front end. This way you'd just cut from both ends of the board to make your long pieces have a bit at the end that isn't sawed through then take your short sides from the middle
Awesome ideas, much appreciated. I'm thinking you could have cut a slot in the end of the dowels and added 'wedges' of a darker material for that contrast you were looking for - without having to leave your shop. Nice!
Haha I actually remembered I have plug cutters too. 🤦♂️
thank you for showing your mistakes. it happens to all of us :) thanks for the video. i love the fact that you did 3 projects. the pencil holder could inspire to make a bit of a larger one for kitchen utensils :)
Definitely going to try to make that last container. It would be great for a remote cubby so my wife can stop losing the TV remote and telling me to find it for her.
Haha there you go!
Looks like I’m making pallet coasters this weekend 👍😂
For the bottle box, I will add a TO, FROM and DATE (incl. year) under the box, where each person giving the box (with a bottle!!) away can write that info, and each new recipient can see who got the box before him/her, by whom, and for how long the box has been traveling from person to person! Just an idea ❤
This was sweet, definitely inspired me to get back out in the shop. Thank you!
That's awesome! Thanks for watching!
Love the multi-tool. Great gift ideas 💡👍🏻🇺🇲
😊😊👍
Thanks! Appreciate you watching!
