Probably my favorite part of following you, Marc, is the back and forth interaction you have with your audience. I follow a lot of woodworkers, and as far as taking some folks' comments and turning out a video within a couple of days like you have here, very few of your peers do so. Cheers, and Merry Christmas!
Nice little box. It seems like everyone is doing one this month. This one is interesting because of the sloping sides and the double container. I have seen a couple that used magnets to keep the lids closed. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Very cool project. My wheels are turning in my head...could I make this longer with smaller compartments...hmmm. Something to replace the ugly spice rack I have.
Nice! That paper trick *is* indeed awesome. (I miss the New Yankee Workshop.) I have a store-bought salt cellar (also bamboo) that uses a couple recessed magnets to catch the lid when it's closed. Have you considered doing the same?
Thank you!!! I've been trying to figure out what kind of hardware I need to get that type of slide across opening on a box! Just couldn't figure out how to do it. This salt cellar is a really awesome project that has infinite design possibilities. Thanks for a great video. Hope you, Nicole, and the whole family have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Can't wait for 2015!
Great video once again. I see you used the deft lacquer. If I use that for a kitchen bowl/tray Im making will I be able to hand wash with soap and water without any damage to the wood? Also, Im using red oak, do you think it will darken at all with the lacquer? Thanks and sorry for the amateurish questions lol
The paper sandwich is a common method for clamping items down to carve. I usually thin the glue down with some water which makes it a little easier to remove when you're done
Excellent project, I believe this is what you call a "can do project". What type of camera do you use? The clarity is awesome! I really enjoy woodturning so my only comment, of course I would of liked to seen you fire up the lathe.
Hey!!! I really love to make things in wood... however I do not have such incredible tools.... is it possible that you create a way to make this Salt Cellar but using more simple and regular tools?
Me podía decir a dónde me puedo descargar la plantilla que tiene usted para hacerlo ovalado un saludo y muchas gracias me podía decir la medida de la tabla de ancho y de alto si no es tanta molestia
Hey Marc, just a couple of questions. Why to you have to put your band saw on a tilt? Also, that bolt just didn't appear to be long enough to reach that bottom nut insert. Am I missing a step or did it just look that way? Thanks so much, Beck
those are beautiful.... & such a clever idea! I don't have any (major) woodworking tools, though. I have a power drill, a dremmel, mallet, hammer & sandpaper. do you have any recommendations for hand tools that can help w/this project? I'd love to make a few of these for family gifts
In episode 183 you did a video showing us some complex joinery. I really love Asia and woodworking. When I learned of Asian specific woodworking styles I became very excited. I was wondering if you could do a tutorial of the joinery shown in that video. :)
Marc was wondering if I could get some imput on a project I'm working on for my wife, it's a bathroom vanity top made out of red cedar. Bought some helmsman spar urethane made by minwax to seal it will this work or should I use a poly urethane, or tongue oil, or something else, one of you videos you named something else but I can't find it in Arkansas at lowes or Home Depot. Any imput would be helpful and greatly appreciated.
I don't think it needs to be "food grade." It's just regular lacquer, which dries as an inert film. I don't see any risk for something like salt. Bowls might be a different thing though since you might use them for wet applications.
If you want it to stay where it is get some of the blue thread sealer (blue lock tight), you can put it where you want to stay at but if you need to take it of or loosen it you still can with what ever type of head is on it.
Mark, where did you get the lid screw? I'm in the process of making this and I don;t know where to start to look for it because I do not know what it is called, lol
I agree neat glue trick! &also never heard of these things b4. But i like it. They're Quick,& easy,& a nice useful hash box. I mean salt cellar.;) sort of similar to a band saw box. Maybe a cousin to it?

Well built, the only reason I would build one instead of buying for $15 is to avoid chemical solvents and glue in the salt over time. I guess I just wouldn't use the spray finish and stick with oil treatments or just spray the outside.
Just curious, but for sticking the pieces together for the initial cut, why not just use double sided tape? It seems like that would be much less hassle to get off than glued paper
My parts weren't consistently sized so the tracing allows me to see just how much room I have to play. So not necessary if your parts are consistent but necessary in my case.
Did not know about the paper/glue trick. Keeping that in my back pocket. Great vid!!

Thank you Marc...simple and elegant...love the paper trick!

awesome project, perfect for the holiday.
Nice project and I like that you referenced The New Yankee Workshop and gave kudos to Norm. I miss that show.
Very nice. I've never seen one of these before. I like the look of the metal bolt in contrast with the wood. Thanks for sharing.
Nice! I like these smaller less time consuming projects! Big fan of yours.
Don't know how I missed this one. Wish I would have seen it before Christmas.
Nice work...............once again.
JimE
Great project! That paper trick is really cool!
Awesome holiday idea. My 9 year old son wants to make this with me. Thanks!
That's a great projec Marct! Thanks for the video, if I had more time before christmas I'd definitely make a few.
The paper trick. That's a game changer. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Great holiday gift idea! One question: do I need to worry about food safe spray lacquer? If so, what product do you recommend?
cool quick and pretty easy looking project Marc thanks!!!
who are the 7 haters that gave this a thumbs down?????? some people just can't be pleased...
Wow! Just what I always wanted for Christmas!
Thanks Mark, super project and video.
Wow this thing is neato! Itching to try and make one or a bunch for gifts! Thanks for the instruction!
Great project for a holiday gift idea and great video.
Very cool project. My wheels are turning in my head...could I make this longer with smaller compartments...hmmm.
Something to replace the ugly spice rack I have.
Hey great gift idea and nice looking for any kitchen Thanks Marc. and Merry Christmas to you and the family.
Fantastic project i can see some of those on my horizon, love that paper trick very handy indeed.
Good video. Really enjoy all your video's Marc. Thanks for sharing.
This is nice and practical to use
Weldon,keep up the good work.
Regards,
Khalid

This was a really informative and entertaining video. Good job!

Beautifully simple Marc, thanks for the video and inspiration! Happy holidays!
Because of the issue you mention at 5:46, why not do no sanding until afterward? That way, you are sanding only once.
Great project, thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much for your tutorial :-)
Thanks! I just found your channel and subscribed.
Pretty cool stuff indeed.
I'm surprised you didn't recess the bolt and put a decorative wood plug in it....very nice work....(love the paper trick)

Great one as usual! And thanks for the paper trick! Can you please do a video using bamboo as well?
Excellent project, I believe this is what you call a "can do project". What type of camera do you use? The clarity is awesome!
I really enjoy woodturning so my only comment, of course I would of liked to seen you fire up the lathe.
Thanks Jeff. I use a Panasonic HMC150.
Great project, did you ever think about mixing the wood species up to get some color variation in the layers?

You could use a little PTFE plumbers tape on the thread to keep tight.
Those are cool!

cool project
Very nice! Thinking of making some.
Great project thank you for sharing. Are you no longer sponsored by Powermatic?
i like that paper and glue trick. i may make one with dowels
Hey Shannon, how do we pull off this build with hand tools? Come on bro. And no fair if you use your treadle lathe.
Looks cool, I might do this after laminating some contrasting scraps together :-)
Is that finish you used "food Grade" Do you finish the inside bowls also?
I don't think it needs to be "food grade." It's just regular lacquer, which dries as an inert film. I don't see any risk for something like salt. Bowls might be a different thing though since you might use them for wet applications.
If you want it to stay where it is get some of the blue thread sealer (blue lock tight), you can put it where you want to stay at but if you need to take it of or loosen it you still can with what ever type of head is on it.
That Nahmie was a creative bastad. Miss the ole guy. Nice project Marc.
Mark, where did you get the lid screw? I'm in the process of making this and I don;t know where to start to look for it because I do not know what it is called, lol
I've seen them called connector bolts or furniture bolts. I have found them at Ace Hardware store.
I agree neat glue trick! &also never heard of these things b4. But i like it. They're Quick,& easy,& a nice useful hash box. I mean salt cellar.;) sort of similar to a band saw box. Maybe a cousin to it?
mint idea im deffo making that
Love your videos. Where do u get your exotic lumber from.
Most of it is from Woodworker's Source.
Awesome thanks. Love your videos.
Check out bellforestproducts... That's the best place to choose your own board online if you don't have a local source. Marc taught us that in the wood whisper guild. Disclaimer: This is not a plug, I'm just a happy member.
Very good for salt
Well built, the only reason I would build one instead of buying for $15 is to avoid chemical solvents and glue in the salt over time. I guess I just wouldn't use the spray finish and stick with oil treatments or just spray the outside.
To bad you did not sell them cause I would buy one.
Why not use a food safe oil/wax?
Any chance I could pay you to custom make one?
Now to figure it out a how to on the lathe. Please don't tell Matt.
Try out the round version that uses embedded magnets instead: www.amazon.com/dp/B008EQUORG
Just curious, but for sticking the pieces together for the initial cut, why not just use double sided tape? It seems like that would be much less hassle to get off than glued paper
Double stick tape can shift under pressure so I didn't think it would do the job nearly as well as glue.
I Like, I like alot. :) Will be making this for sure.
if you had $150 to spend on versatile tool what would it be
could you put your pot in there?
you probably dodn't have to trace the bottom parts as you end up tracing and cutting out the lid... But great video!
My parts weren't consistently sized so the tracing allows me to see just how much room I have to play. So not necessary if your parts are consistent but necessary in my case.
Woodworking with The Wood Whisperer I see. Thanks for clarification Mark!
Winner
Festool!!
hypothetically, if a guy didn't have a bandsaw, how else could he cut the shape?
Andrew Rodriguez By hand, and a lot of sanding.
Vikings kept their tallow in containers like this. So did Roy Underhill. See a version I made here: th-cam.com/video/ePFiNLyzquk/w-d-xo.html
would of watched butI'm not going to watch a 1 min advertisment
In the time it took you to type that, you could have waited 4 seconds and clicked skip. But this is productive too. :)
You could put a dab of loctite on the threads of the end of the bolt if you don't glue the bolt to the top and you don't want the bolt to unthread.
Yeah that's an idea. But since this thing is made from wood my fear is that you might want to adjust the fit someday.
Woodworking with The Wood Whisperer You would want to use the Loctite Blue 242 thread locker. It doesn't create a permanent bond.
It was a 1 minute ad without skip ad after 20" thats why I passed on watching it. By the way I like your video's just don't want to watch a 1 min ad.
will you send me one x x Please
Awesome project!
