Love the no music, no talking hand tool videos. And yours are some of the very best. As a beginner I love trying to work out what you're doing as you're doing it!
Beautiful video and gorgeous piece. I love the meditative quality - no music, just the sounds of wood being worked. Congratulation and thanks for sharing.
You do things the way that I want to do them. Thank goodness there is somebody out there on TH-cam willing to show me how to use the tools that I have been amassing to become a cabinet maker (self taught as all the furniture making schools are hundreds of miles away, if not thousands). You’ve packed just about everything I was missing into one video. Wide panel glue-up, trimming to length, shooting, dovetails, frame glue-up, and more. Thank you. EDIT: and THEN you lined it with leather?! My hero!
Too much effort for a simple tray but... What an amazing tray! The state of art of woodworking. I really enjoy the whole process. Thanks for sharing 😊😊😊😊
Thank you, and thanks for taking the time to watch 😊 Yes, waaaay too much effort for such a simple thing. But in this case, the effort was sort of the goal, since it is just a hobby. Not quitting my day job just yet… 😁
beautiful video, the simplicity mirrors the simplicity of the hand tools. thanks for sharing a reminder of how quality and precision existed before power tools
Thank you very much! I was not sure if the leather lining would work, but it turned out pretty nice. I did manage to spill a little glue and some wax, so it got a few stains :-/
Excellent video in terms of hand woodworking basics and principles, video edition, so beautiful and relaxing moment. I have been living in Oslo for some years 10 years ago, time where i started seriously hand woodworking and discovered its beauty. If i knew your existence at that time it would have been a pleasure to meet you in Oslo. Now retired in France i am lucky to daily enjoy hand woodworking as much as i can ... and like you enjoy the extreme pleasure of learning and using all those tools. Regards to you and your lovely country, again thanks for this beautiful video..
Thank you very much for the kind words and for taking the time to watch! I don't know many woodworkers around here, so it would have been a pleasure to meet you too!
Thank you 😊 It is called a jewelers saw or fret saw. Usually not very expensive. Rob Cosman has a video on how to prepare it for dovetailing. th-cam.com/video/9LUDm4dVjUE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vv440JUoNacH8M_J
Normally I would be careful to glue the bottom of a box. But for this box, being small, I think it is ok. I think I learned from @Paul.Sellers that anything less than about 6 inches wide can be glued without worrying about wood movement.
It is a miniature saw, kind of. I filed saw teeth into a card scraper that is the same thickness as the kerf of my dovetail saw. I will make a video about it soon :-)
@@SchnekkernYes please! I have practice plates from saw making classes and ordered brass back to make my own. Practice plates are available from a few places online. Basically any saw maker has scraps they will sell. Card scraper corner can work well too. Like you see one. I was thinking about one brass rod to pin the plate in mine.
Yes, somehow people made great furniture even before our german gray and green friends came into existence :-) But if I were building a kitchen, I think a few Festool products wouldn’t hurt :-)
Ha ha, short answer: no Longer answer: I could probably have done the same thing with a much smaller set of tools. - A single chisel would probably suffice. - I could have used the old jackplane for all planing operations, including shooting the ends. - The chisel could be used instead of the wheel marking gauge. - Could have used the dovetail saw for crosscutting. - And chopping out the waste with the chisel would make the jewellers saw superfluous. Not sure what to replace the rabbet plane with, though. But.. although some of the tools are a bit of a luxury (shooting plane for sure), I think that the power tools needed for this would be more expensive. Also, most of these hand tools retain their value very well. Especially compared to a car ;-)

Thank you so much for the kind words! I am also just trying to figure out how to use hand tools, and documenting my journey:-)
With all the info online you don’t need a furniture school to learn! Find somewhere you can apprentice. Don’t waste your money on a school
So satisfying to watch. No music and just the sound of the tools being used with a craftsman skills. Thanks for sharing.

Very inspirational, these small boxes are excellent training field for hand made woodworking
Thanks for rescueing the true beauty of woodworking!
Thank you very much for the kind words and for taking the time to watch 😊
Anyone else finds this incredibly relaxing?
Yes, relaxes me :-)
Beautiful work! A nice project to practice all sorts of hand tool skills!
@@kevinprufer8784 Thank you so much 😊

Beautiful work! Classy! Impressed on how you cleanly installed the liner.

Simply beautiful and satisfying work. I loved 🌟
Thank you very much 😊
What a great project. 👍👍👍
Thank you very much 😊
Nice to see the skills of hand tools at work. Well done
Thank you very much 😊
Wonderful! Glad to see you are posting videos again. I guess winter has arrived in Norway and it's time for woodworking again.
@@kryptik0 Yes, winter is coming! Hope to make some sawdust in the next few months :-)
@@Schnekkern looking forward to it!
Simple and very nice tray, well done. Amazing video quality : Merci ❤

Nice job. I really enjoyed seeing you work without buzzing of electric tools :)
Thanks! I find it much more enjoyable and I don’t miss the noise and dust that power tools produce:-)
Great video and great project!
Thank you very much 😊
классная работа, классное изделие, классная режиссура видео.
Thank you so much 😊
I like how you did the inside
@@DolezalPetr Thank you! It turned out better than I expected.
Удивительно, что так мало лайков. Великолепная работа! Спасибо за видео! ❤
Thank you very much 😊
Nice tray, nice video. Well done!!
Thank you very much 😊
Wow! Your work is fascinating, congratulations! Regards
Thank you very much 😊
Nice work!
Thank you very much 😊
Well done.
Thank you very much 😊
Loved it 🫶
Thank you very much 😊
Impressive attention to detail there.
Liked and Subbed.
Thank you very much 😊
WOW - perfect 👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much 😊
Thank you for nice and simple tutorial without 8 machines. Which wood do you use?
Thank you for watching! It is steamed beech. From Germany I think. It is very homogeneous and stable. Really easy to work with.
Just nice...
Thanks 😊
very nice work! enjoyed the video very much 👍
Thank you very much for watching! I really appreciate it!
What were the products you used for finishing? 😻
Shellac first (blonde shellac flakes dissolved in alchohol) and then some old paste wax. (I think it is some kind of beeswax blend.)
What is the saw called to cut from 3:25? Thanks for a great video - very inspiring!
Thank you 😊

I want one
Is there any concern with wood movement with the bottom? Or is the box small enough that it doesn’t come into play?
Normally I would be careful to glue the bottom of a box. But for this box, being small, I think it is ok. I think I learned from @Paul.Sellers that anything less than about 6 inches wide can be glued without worrying about wood movement.
On the off chance your interested... Ive been after that marking gauge for a long time. I would pay 250 canadian for it
I am quite fond of it, but let me think about it :-)
Olha só como eu não preciso de desengrosso ou plaina elétrica.
What tool did you use for marking the kerf on the pinboard? (around 2:45 on the video)
It is a miniature saw, kind of. I filed saw teeth into a card scraper that is the same thickness as the kerf of my dovetail saw. I will make a video about it soon :-)
@@SchnekkernYes please! I have practice plates from saw making classes and ordered brass back to make my own. Practice plates are available from a few places online. Basically any saw maker has scraps they will sell. Card scraper corner can work well too. Like you see one. I was thinking about one brass rod to pin the plate in mine.
Serious question: couldn’t this have all been sanded?
Yes, it could. But I much prefer using a plane. That way I don’t get any fine dust all over the workshop. Also planing is more fun :-)
What about adding a handle bar and a lid
I could, but this is just to keep pencils etc. from rolling off the workbench.
Did you make the toothed marking knife?
Yes, it is a miniature saw of sorts. I will make a video about it soon!
@@Schnekkern that will be a good vid to watch.
what did you coat the box with?
Blond shellac. A couple of coats. Then some wax.
Это скорее медитация!
what is this
@@OakEmber This is a small leather lined tray made from quarter sawn beech to keep small tools from rolling of the workbench.
So they’ve been lying to us.
You CAN make beautiful woodworking projects without using a minimum of five Festool products.
Yes, somehow people made great furniture even before our german gray and green friends came into existence :-)
But if I were building a kitchen, I think a few Festool products wouldn’t hurt :-)
@@Schnekkern funny, i agree with both of you and bought my first Festool tool in Oslo. It depends on what we do ...
As if the tools in this vid didn't cost a metric ton. 🙃
Rien de tel pour la méditation !
You need some better tools to place in that tray 9:35
Yes, but I think the vintage Starrett calipers are pretty cool 😎
dole!
Nice, next.
Do you really need a small car worth of tools for such a simple job? Well made but really……
Need ≠ Want
Ha ha, short answer: no
Longer answer:
I could probably have done the same thing with a much smaller set of tools.
- A single chisel would probably suffice.
- I could have used the old jackplane for all planing operations, including shooting the ends.
- The chisel could be used instead of the wheel marking gauge.
- Could have used the dovetail saw for crosscutting.
- And chopping out the waste with the chisel would make the jewellers saw superfluous.
Not sure what to replace the rabbet plane with, though.
But.. although some of the tools are a bit of a luxury (shooting plane for sure), I think that the power tools needed for this would be more expensive. Also, most of these hand tools retain their value very well. Especially compared to a car ;-)
You probably don’t need all the knives in your kitchen either but it’s more fun to prepare dinner from scratch with some specialized tools.
@@AyresHaxtonNope. I find it much more fun to use a single tool and make it work for the various tasks. To each his own, though.
No he could have just gone to a cheap shop and purchased a box.
