Love it, about to make a similar one for storing Christmas decorations under the stairs

Have used the cut list optimizer for years, its a great free app for getting the best use of a full sheet of material. 👍

Hi Matt that blanket box turned out perfectly, the colour used was perct as well, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia.

[MrGeroth]

Matt, fantastic. I’m getting ready to build a toy box for my great grandson. I think your box might be a pattern.

[fumthings]

great tip about the cut list optimiser

[frederickwood]

Have to start calling you the Duracell Badger or 18v Badger. 😅
Yet another nice little ditty project. Thanks

[monkeyboysworkshop]

Nice one Matt, they turned out great 🤙🏻

[benjaqsonworkshop]

Great looking box and nice dimensions. Could adapt the design for all sorts of uses. I imagine they look great side by side.

[MCsCreations]

Fantastic work, Matt! 😃
Really beautiful chests!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[paulrowley]

They look excellent Matt. I really like the antique pine top. I like your stuff because it’s straightforward and achievable. Even I could have a crack!

[awantamta]

Very useful, I'm sure and very well made.

[craigbirchall]

Nice project. I can think of couple useful ideas for one.

[DaveGDesigns]

Nice job Matt, I've used cut list optimizer before and as I don't use a lot of sheet goods it's a really good way to get the most bang for your buck

[brianpatmore]

Hi Matt, Very nice job mate, nice and clean as usual. Onya !

[negotiableaffections]

Q) So, in your design work...what would you say influences the most? A) A tight corner on a narrow staircase! These are superb, Matt. the contrast of lid and chest is just enough to make them ultra smart. Well done.

Hi Matt, another great video. I wanted to ask though, with the track saw you use, have you ever used a festool one before and would you recommend the Bosch over it?

[Chris-cepz]

I haven't been following you as much I a should, where is your shop?

[andrewknots]

Nice job as ever, I like how the finish came out. Did you consider putting the chest on end for going up stairs? I was surprised by a professional mover doing that with a sofa to get it round the corner in the stairs

[staxo]

It's interesting to see the track saw in action, but there don't seem to be any clamps. I'm intrigued, how is the track fixed to the sheet of wood?
