Making a Japanese Tool Box - Hand Tools Only - Forme Industrious

Working around serious cabinet makers, wood workers for the last few months has made me want to make something slightly technical, well in terms of joinery. The Challenge was to use hand tools only! Pffffttt!

I love the style of this little Japanese Box with its locking wedge. I have no drawings for this. I just made it freeform. Made from American Walnut using hand powered tools only. No Fasteners either. First for me :) and I really enjoyed this build.
Thanks for watching

Tee Shirts
Forme Industrious Shirts: My supplier needs batch orders of a minimum of ten shirts due to set up, so when I have at least ten orders (Not orders of ten) I can get get a batch made. Instructions as listed below;

1. Go to this link and find your size and colour.

3. I will work out postage costs and let you know the final cost ($30 for the shirt plus postage in Australian dollars AUD)

4. Payment may be either via Pay Pay or direct credit.

5. I will order the batch and send to you when I get them (normally 7 days lead time for the shirts to be printed).

Patience may be required :)

I greatly admire your effort to make this with hand tools only. It's a real challenge and "risk", but so rewarding. Thanks for sharing!!👍🏁

This is an awesome build the fact that u can even cut that straight with a hand saw down the length of the board is amazing

[BillHartCooks.]

Yes Very nice Build!

👍🐯👍I like how you finished that rip cut. Its the last little bit that can become a nuisance.

It's wonderful how things work out. The reality of long tedious rip cuts ensured the existence of apprentices and thus the craft lived on.

You definitely know your woodworking with hand tools - great video, thanks

The wood butter really pops the grain, fabulous finish.

The simplistic beauty of the design and the quality of the build brings a tear to the eye.

never apologize for video imperfections, background noise adds to authenticity a great video as always.

The ability to learn new techniques and skills and turn that into art it what makes a craftsman, and you sir are one

iv been a boiler maker for a good 40 years . i find working with wood to be therapeutic . nice video

[HWCism]

Looks like you guys had fun with this project. Thanks

nicely done. i think the instructive thing here is how under appreciated the skills and time and patience needed to actually make things by hand are. very easy to churn things out with power tools, but that's production, not craft.
