Great job walking us through the process. You explained it all very well and the box came out great!

Burls, Walnuts, and Maples are my faves so that looks perfect to me.

The end result is nice! I should face my fears and try to make one. I don't have all the same tools but enough to pull off a similar result!

Thanks for showing how to wrap the grain. This box looks great! I love the figuring in the maple.

I do like your style of working. You are concise in your explanation and don't over or under explain what you do. Thanks for sharing.

Gorgeous! I learned so much from this terrific video. Thanks so much!

Great project, I loved how it turned out

[geoffe]

I'm glad I watched this video clip. You've provided clear, understandable methodology along with handy, useful tips and diagrams. I'll follow your lead with my first ever box making tomorrow.

P.S. Regarding an earlier comment, you don't talk too much at all! Who knows what that bloke was drinking to come up with that remark. 😖 Thank you for your good guidance! 👍👍

Nice job gave me inspiration for a dresser organizer to keep all the stuff that goes into my pockets

Youn hit this one out of the park Brian. I love the way the grain wraps around the box like you said and the splines finish the box off. Great build.

One of the best explanation videos I have watched.
Thanks

Your panel raising bit is a neat tool to have really makes the recess on the box spot on.

The "story stick" was a good idea. I have used it before on construction job sites but never thought of using it in my shop? Your box speaks volumes on your skill! You are a craftsman.
You also produced an excellent video!

Great video, and the box turned out excellent.

[kuffyswoodwork]

That's a great box, Bryan! Very nicely done! Thanks for the video.

Didn't have time to attempt this myself so I just bought a similar box for around $300. Expensive, but will last a lifetime. Its a watch box with a glass hinged lid and a bottom drawer. Walnut and maple were the perfect compliment for a fine watch and knife collection.

Very good presentation of box making. You do good.
