$100,000 Lazer Project / How to Make 1000 Boxes

Published 2022-09-25
Jeff and Rob of Greene Street Joinery are collaborating with 3 Dot Design, Kenji Lopez and Brad Leoni to make 1000 salt boxes. I thought this was a cool project and a great cause $25,000 generated from this project is being donated to No Kid Hungry.

I started following Jeff and Rob on this project through Instagram and thought it would be nice to get a closer look.
In this video we get a good idea of how to troubleshoot a project of this size and see some of the problem-solving that will take place.
I hope you enjoy this video I know I enjoyed making it.
Have a great day, Jon

    It’s great! My shed has been completed and it turned out nice looking and sturdy and it is way better than the sheds that many of my neighbors had put up. Of course, I'm pleased with the outcome and this Ryan’s youtube.com/post/UgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY… Plans was extremely useful to me as a guide.
  • Enjoyed seeing the different jigs they "invented" to do various steps in the box making. I admire all the hard work they're doing for such a worthy cause! The boxes are very nice and will be treasured by those who get them!!!
  • @mavigogun
    That was fantastic! Much thanks for taking the time- both off the task, and recording, editing, posting. Generous insight.
  • @gryph01
    That gluing jig is pure genius! Excellent video.
  • @infocus-media
    That glue roller, we had the same thing going some 40 years ago, I did some designing back then for boxes that was used in the jewelry industry you know the small box you open for girlfriend and there is the diamond ring. We made rollers like that filled with pva glue so the workers would feed a roll of decorated paper on the top of the rollers and cover the whole paper in glue which they stuck onto the "naked" boxes. Worked very well.
  • Thank you for documenting this Jon, as someone who also does a lot of production work myself it was really cool seeing their thought processes and aiming for efficiency.
  • @sangetube
    That guy just before 12 minutes 👍👍👍👍👍👍 smiles and pride in the work. F yes!
  • @kmwrites7456
    Beautiful boxes and loved watching this amazing process.
  • Great video. Shows just how to work around a big project,- love it. Thanks for sharing.

    Good stuff. I have bee hives, and the “man made” panels are terrible to fit together … but Flowhive hives are laser cut, and they are a thing of beauty. Just perfect. Saves so much time at the assembly stage.
  • @heyimamaker
    Love seeing the production setup, nice work!
  • @chocksaway100
    Totally fascinating video brilliantly explained I personally am useless at wood work of any time but I appreciate production technique and process ,also thanks for mentioning costs .
  • @rbdono2
    Very nice. If you ever decide to upgrade that laser, you will be blown away by the Trotec.  I just snagged by second Trotec. Massive difference in speed and quality. Nice work!
  • Wow! These guys are great. They're sharp..... and know what they're doin'. Amazing shop; amazing work ethic; amazing level of honesty, integrity, competency, and level of care about every detail. "....spread the love." Oh man..... RIGHT ON!
  • Looks like my next project is building one by hand. Thanks for the tips.
  • This was awesome to see. I just purchased a Thunder USA Laser and may try to make some of these or something similar. Great content Jon.
