3 Easy To Make Woodworking Projects That Sell | DIY Gifts

So not only is this vid helpful to a backyard wood maker but your times of being a regular guy forgetting something makes me smile and feel good that I'm not the only one out there.

I have made sliding top boxes like these before, using various joinery methods, including but joints like you did, as well as mitred corners with splines, and finger (box) joints. On every one, instead of using scrap pieces for the little handle on the lid, I saved the piece that I cut off the end piece and used that. It also has the "advantage" of camouflaging which end is the opening end,and looks quite good. I do also like your way of using a contrasting colour as well.

I’m glad you add in all the compilations that come with trade work. Not everything goes smooth all of the time

As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement youtube.com/post/UgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdU… . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!

I am sure someone already said this....but get rid of that plastic push stick (or use it as template for a wooden one). Plastic hits that blade and you have a projectile. Make a wooden copy.

The hard oil and wax finish on the little pallet coasters looks best to me. You are so right about forgetting the screws, it does definitely happen! The contrasting little handle on the wine box was a nice touch.

Thanks for an informative and real woodworking video. Sometimes the others show their mistakes but not always. Makes it feel more relatable.

Awesome ideas! And loved seeing you actually make each one as well to show how simple yet elegant the final product was.

I sound like you when I'm doing stuff in my shop. I'm constantly talking and explaining how I'm screwing up, but to the cat. He doesn't even subscribe, jerk.

I know this is two years old, but just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed the video. Regarding the multi-tool, I use mine all the time, however, more for custom renovation projects. They are extremely loud, so in the shop I prefer the pull saw.

Love the wine box and the coasters, I prefer the spray on finish on the coasters andI liked the quarter inch chamfer better than the larger chamfer on the pen/pencil holder all three projects turned out nice.

LOL! Thank you for leaving in the little bloopers! Nice to see we all slip up here and there

I have made a few of the wine boxes myself. You could have mitered your corners to allow the wood grain to match on 3 of the 4 corners and “waterfall” the piece. A small difference to make the project a lot better. Then if you wanted to keep the dowel accents, rockler makes a corner jig which looks cool.

I like the narrow chamfer. It gives the finished product an added dimension.

I appreciate your honesty and clarity.

Three great little projects. With the popularity of making things from pallets, making pallets out of a fine wood is beautiful irony. Adding rabbets to the wine box pieces is the simplest solution for hiding the slots. Miters are cool but they can be a little persnickety. It's easy to sneak up on the perfect rabbet. For the pencil cup, I think the oversized and chamfered based looks bulky no matter how much of a chamfer you use. Using the contrasting white oak, cut a piece the size of the box and then cut rabbets on two sides of the base to accept the bottom pieces of walnut. You get straight sides, top to bottom, and a little structural detail from the alternating thinner and thicker edges of the white oak base. Well made video showing how to make all three projects. It was long but each segment was concise. Well done.

I like to see a woodworker using more of the job site tools I’m used to like a chop saw, Brad gun, and even a multi tool. And even sharing a sore back carrying that same planer around when needed

I love The Cutting Board oil look

Agreed, Spray lacquer looks the best. Nice builds.

While watching the part making the pencil holder, I couldn't help but thinking about when I was little and building things with Lincoln Logs!
