While your wife may not notice that grain match and wrap it's a detail that sets this box apart. I've noticed my wife wouldn't call something like that out but if I showed her two boxes, one with a detail like that and one without she'll like the grain matched box. There's something about it that's more pleasing to the eye even if they don't realize all the extra work that went into it. Nice project Kevin!
Thanks Keaton. My wife loves the box and when she watched the video she appreciated the effort. Us woodworkers should definitely point out the cool stuff instead of just pointing out our mistakes!
Beautiful box. I sure hoped to see you sign the bottom of it. My wife would never notice the four way grain match, but I would see it every time I looked at the box. Love your videos!
You have a knack for woodworking and video production. I hope you continue doing so for a long time. I've learned something from each of you videos. Thank you.
Well done Kevin, it’s really fun to see you super skilled Woodworker in action. Love your collection of tools and your shop layout. Excellent job on the video.
Hi Kevin, don’t know you at all. But I was thinking exactly the same as Bob. I would like to add that I really like your style of presentation, calm and very informative. If I eventually end up with half off your skill set (and half of your shop and tools)😊, I would be very proud.
Beautiful box, Kevin! Nice design and choice of woods. That osmo finish came out great too. I'm considering using it and this video helped make my mind up on it.
I'm a fan of your channel and your work. Can't believe this is the first time I've seen any of your videos. I love making small boxes, especially with wood prices being what they are. Thanks and keep it up!
Thanks for tuning in, Atomic. Glad one of my videos popped in your feed. I’m getting ready to build a dresser for my daughter and, yeah, the cost estimate for lumber is crazy!
Kevin.... Out standing job! Your work and attention to detail just made the project so enjoyable to watch. Looking forward to more of your project's. Tom
I think this is my all-time favorite woodworking video on TH-cam. I've got some card-players in my family and you've inspired me to try making an imitation - I can only hope it comes out half as nice!
I live in South Texas gets really hot ,yellow or white glue sets up Fast. Hyde glue really works best for complicated glue ups. Chopping dovetails is the most satisfying job in the shop.
Gorgeous, and the level of craftsmanship is off the charts (as always)... and, silly as it sounds, watching the card tray do the "slow drop" as the air displaces was kinda sexy LOL...
I love your attention to detail in both your woodworking, which is exceptional, but also your video making, which is concise and thankfully free from smash cuts and flummery. You get to the point, so I learn a lot from your videos with no wasted time. And hello from Minnesota, by the way.
I think we feel the same way about the videos we like to watch, David! And we’re currently planning our annual trip to Minnesota to visit my wife’s family. Always nice to spend time at the farm and away from the city and traffic of New York.
Kevin, very nice work sir. Just watched a few of your videos. Got a laugh about the tools you said you did not use and what you could have bought with their cost. After 40 years of woodworking I went thru mine and lo and behold, a new truck came into view. Will watch the rest of your videos, thanks again.
A beautiful box. Like any piece, most people will see but not notice all the details that make a project like this more beautiful as a result. You fid make it in time for Eastern Orthodox Christmas, btw. Did the gift challenge specify which Christmss was the deadline?
The funny thing is the only ones who had their handmade gifts ready on the 25th were our two kids. My wife was a few days behind schedule making her gift too. Thanks for watching!
Thanks, TWC. I’m essentially down to two finishes now. Shellac and the Top Oil. The Top Oil is a little pricey but a little goes a long way. I’ve never tried its direct competitors like Rubio Monocoat. I imagine they’re very similar but I have my technique down with the Osmo product so…if it ain’t broke. Thanks again for watching!
Very nice outcome. The wrap around grain looks great. Just out of curiosity, what do you do for a living? Wondering because of your attention to detail. Appreciate the video!
Thanks for the reply, about 20hrs spread over 5>6 days is a pretty good timeframe for me. I'm nowhere near your skill level, so about 30hrs spread over 8>10 days would be my timeframe and I'd be very happy with that.@@quillwoodworks
That fourth cut for separating the lid always makes me nervous. I usually make the last two cuts a little less than all the way through. You made it look easy though...
I’m a big fan of the spacer that’s inserted after the third cut. Does a nice job of pivoting the lid away from the blade as it is set free. Still stressful though!
@@quillwoodworks i assume you are putting pressure against the fence by pushing against the top half of the box above the spacer, but "not to much pressure"
I’m sorry, Tom. I forgot to answer this. Yes, the spacer acts as a pivot point. A little pressure against the fence so when the cut is complete the now-released top pivots out of the way of the blade.

If you love my videos, I’ll keep making ‘em! Thanks for the kind words, friend.
You have a knack for woodworking and video production. I hope you continue doing so for a long time. I've learned something from each of you videos. Thank you.
I’m glad you’ve picked up some useful info from them, Bill. Makes me very happy. Thanks for watching!
Great video Kevin. I watched the whole video. You are very relaxed and easy to watch. Keep up the good work bud!
I appreciate the support, Gary!
Well done Kevin, it’s really fun to see you super skilled Woodworker in action. Love your collection of tools and your shop layout. Excellent job on the video.
Bob, thank you buddy! Looking forward to catching up at the next guild meeting.

Just a beautiful piece of work. Such high resolution. Something to aspire to.
Thanks for watching, Jason. Means a lot.
Wow. That's a gorgeous box! And so well planned.
I enjoyed watching you build this - thank you for sharing with all of us. 🥰
Thanks for the encouragement, Skip!
Beautiful box, Kevin! Nice design and choice of woods. That osmo finish came out great too. I'm considering using it and this video helped make my mind up on it.
Thanks Sean! Since you buff it off between coats it’s really great for our dusty shops too. I appreciate you watching!
Awesome build! I really enjoy your style of videos... Simple to follow and some humor sprinkled in here and there. 👍 Keep them coming!!
Always appreciated, Anthony! Thanks buddy.
Beautiful box. Great video. Cant wait for more!
I’ll keep at it, Ethan. Thank you!
Super! Jack of all trades! It's nice to watch you work! My wife is delighted with the neatness and order in your workshop😂! Thank you for your work!
I like to keep a clean shop. Just don’t let your wife see the areas the camera isn’t pointing at!

Will do, Jesse. Thanks!

I’ll admit, when I first saw the tray slowly lower I thought, “Now that will make a cool shot!”. Thanks for the kind words and for watching, Brian!
Loved the video, great pacing and narration, and great details! Boxes are such a great way to make a lot from a little.
Glad you enjoyed it, Baxter. I appreciate you watching!
I love these videos. Just what I'm looking for, doing some smaller, tidy items.
Beautiful work. I learned so much watching this, and I've made several decorative boxes. Thank you for sharing this!
Thanks for the kind words, Jeremy!

amazing detail.i am new to woodworking and this opened my eyes. thank you
Glad you liked the video and best of luck in your journey. It’s a great hobby!
This was such a pleasure to watch, wow! The end product is truly amazing!
Lovely work 👍
Thanks Kevin!
Very nice
Thanks Matt
Very nice box, love it Colin 🏴
Much appreciated, Colin!
Beautiful box and well explained... wishing I can develop the skills to make a box like that. From Cape Town.
It puts a big smile on my face knowing someone from halfway around the world enjoyed my video. Thanks for watching, Etienne!
Kevin, very nice work sir. Just watched a few of your videos. Got a laugh about the tools you said you did not use and what you could have bought with their cost. After 40 years of woodworking I went thru mine and lo and behold, a new truck came into view. Will watch the rest of your videos, thanks again.

Really nice
Appreciate it

Beautiful box. I will never be as good as you are.
I appreciate you watching, Larry!
What a wonderful video. Very clean build and outstanding commentary. My new favorite TH-cam channel.
Well, this comment put a big smile on my face. Thanks so much!
Really nice work. After making your wife such a nice gift did she let you win a game?
We did play a few games since I made it and she’s mopped the floor with me every time! Thanks for watching, Kurt.
Really been loving your videos. Box came out great. You’ve got me wanting to try the Osmo top oil now.
Thanks, TWC. I’m essentially down to two finishes now. Shellac and the Top Oil. The Top Oil is a little pricey but a little goes a long way. I’ve never tried its direct competitors like Rubio Monocoat. I imagine they’re very similar but I have my technique down with the Osmo product so…if it ain’t broke. Thanks again for watching!
Installing hinges like this is when I use “egg beater” hand drill.
Wonderful project. I really enjoy how you present.
Beautiful work my friend!
Thank for the nice words and for watching, Amaury!
Thank you for sharing the business card tip, it is a swell idea.
Glad you liked it and thanks for watching!
Top notch work!
Thank you kindly!
beautiful piece!
Thank you friend!
Very nice outcome. The wrap around grain looks great. Just out of curiosity, what do you do for a living? Wondering because of your attention to detail. Appreciate the video!
Glad you liked the video. I’m in aerospace manufacturing so we have to get things spot on!
Fantastic,thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching, Ken!
Very cool build!
Thank you, Lee! It was a fun one.
Thanks for sharing
I appreciate you watching!
Great vid. Subbed!
Much appreciated!
Beautiful work . The finished product is amazing. From start to finish, how long did it take you please?
Thanks Kevan. Around 20 hours spread over 5 or 6 days.

Where did you get your tall auxiliary table saw fence

What wood are you gluing veneer to?
Hey Bill. It was glued to MDF. If I recall correctly, 3/8” thick.
I'm confused. What's a triangle?
It’s like a pyramid but squished.
