This is a blanket chest is going to the same person as the loft bed I made. It can be called a blanket chest, hope chest, or a toy chest. Technically, it is going to be a toy box but I like the name blanket chest more ;)
I built the entire frame with half laps and a few dados. The project cost was a few cents under $70. Thanks for watching!

I loved this idea, so I made one for my 6 month old daughter as a toy box. This was my first real wood project and it turned out pretty sweet. I changed the panels to be free floating in some dados that I cut in the frame. Anyone who comes over loves the box. I learned a lot doing this project and will be doing another one soon! Thanks for the videos!

@JayBates 10 лет назад

So cool! I'd love to see some pictures of it. Email me some if you don't mind. jayscustomcreations@gmail.com

@slowburnwoodworks7626 Год назад

Just took a job for a blanket chest, so of course I'm scouring RU-vid for tips. I'm also only a year into woodworking, and have learned everything I know so far from trial and error and RU-vid, so I needed some examples that I could relate to, considering my current tool selection and skill level. This is by far the most approachable, informative, and all around useful video I've found. Thank you for continuing to share your work and skill with us🙏 Awesome build!

@celticwoodworking8706 7 месяцев назад

I have been following Jay for many years. He has been one of the best teachers on RU-vid and continues to this day.

@hunterdogztc 10 лет назад

I say this with all my heart. I have been woodworking passionately for more than 40 years and I have to tell you...................for a man of your age, you have exceptional talent and vision. Very impressive work. You have a very bright future ahead of you.

@hutts57 7 лет назад

Terry Cairns exactly my thoughts!

@Silent-G 11 лет назад

Jay, Great job. This video is the right length. You do the right amount of detail and skip all the boring stuff. Thanks!

@Brandywine6969 9 лет назад

I love your projects because you use 2x4s and pine quite a bit like I do. I love the look of natural pine.

@learnerlearns 10 лет назад

That dust shroud / safety-block idea is GREAT! I've been around woodworking for over forty-five years and have never seen that before! Very clever!

@RickMcQuay 11 лет назад

Lap joints are arguably the most versatile joints in woodworking and I enjoyed watching the project. Well done.

@craigclemans966 11 лет назад

Good job Jay. Need to learn Sketch up.

@JayBates 11 лет назад

Thanks. It's the little things in the shop that make a big difference some times.

@geolisadrag-racing2349 3 года назад

I have been watching your videos for years & years. Somehow I missed this one & it's great. it's 7+years old, so you probably won't see this comment... I thought the care & detail with which you explained this build was fantastic. Maybe you could consider some new videos in this format. As much as your channel has grown, i have admired the way you do not outgrow your viewers. But, after watching this, i think maybe you could add a little bit of 'tutorial' back into some builds & videos a few times year. i am mostly bedridden & really appreciate YT contributors like yourself, more than i could express in a comment. On a bad day, watching these videos & planning builds for a good day, help with my pain & my spirit. Thank You. ♿Lisa🛠

@TheWoodcutter34 4 года назад

I love it when I see a young person doing jobs like this. You ser have talent. Other people say they have been woodworking for 40 and 45 years but I just started not to long ago when I was 13 or 14. when in Ju. High school well that was about 62 years ago. Im 76 now and still lve to make sawdust. Your box is very nice but i hate plywood. Im going to try this but glue up some 1 X 4's and make some rased panels for the sides. Keep up the good work will be watching your videos.

@dfresh1524 6 лет назад

As a subscriber for about a year and stumbling upon this video you've made so much progress. Not only with your skills but shop. That's what it's all about; experimenting, making mistakes, and having fun with it. Thanks for the video and all you teach me.

@ottodidect7292 8 лет назад

I ripped cut-to-length 2x4s into 1/8" strips, soaked them overnight in water and wove them to make an inset panel for a pair of saloon style doors. They turned out pretty cool and my wife loved them. Just a thought since you said you had no idea what to do with them... Great videos, by the way. Thanks!

@JayBates 8 лет назад

Great idea. Thanks.

Just getting started again in woodworking...so far two medicine cabinets plus a storage cabinet over the toilet in the wife's bathroom. I really like your video as my next project will be something similar. I can certainly appreciate the time and effort you put into this...came out beautiful!! Thanks!!

@NOLAMarathon2010 11 лет назад

Here's an observation about RU-vid woodworkers: The same sense of design and craftsmanship that goes into their woodworking projects is applied to the production of their videos, too. I'm sure there are exceptions. But the four or five woodworkers to whom I subscribe produce high quality videos, in addition to their high quality wood projects. (Jay is no exception) Another example: Matthias Wandel.

@tankerman4916 9 лет назад

Jay: you sir are what all newby's like me need.The way you explain as you do is quite an art. Your skills and ability far surpass your years.You are really one of the best on u-tube. Thank you for sharing. And that is really one fine chest!

@mdk69mam 9 лет назад

Excellent work. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge. You are very clear explaining.

@GerryJ08 10 лет назад

Jay, nice work. I noticed how well you did on lighting the shop so we could easily see what you were doing. Good sound as well, none of the typical voice being drowned out by a table say or power tool etc. Your description and step by step of what you were doing was clear, no rambling and easily understood. Might I suggest future videos you add in a couple of things like the size and type of router bit/s used. The general cost of materials, even if they were used or scrap off of something else. And one last note about shop safety. You might want to consider reminding your viewers about the proper use of power tools, safety glasses and or hearing protection. All in all an excellent tutorial.

@gary24752 9 лет назад

You might want to consider putting air shocks meant for chests on the lid to keep it from slamming down on fingers. It is heavy enough to be a real danger to small kids who do not know any better.

@dg2015 3 года назад

I second this idea!!!

@cllc4u 10 лет назад

Very nice piece. Just a thought, you can use the lattice scraps in place of the plywood panels.

@KingMarioRF 7 лет назад

bro you have grown emensley from this to what your shop and building outcome have become it nice to see woodworking being appreciated as much as I appreciate it your a top woodworking in the woodworking community thanks for all this inspiring content sir

@BDGilly1990 6 лет назад

Your video production, work, and accent have come a long way in the last 5 years, Jay. Kudos.

@JayBates 6 лет назад

Thank you!

@1100mrjohnson 6 лет назад

You look so young and have a twang that I no longer hear. What a gem to find. Great build!

@petermenningen338 7 лет назад

Just add an air spring to allow any person who gets trapped inside to be able to lift the lid easily Any locks or latches need to be released from the inside No locks on "toy boxes" A simple gap around of about 1/4" will work for air circulation For a "toy box" you want the lid lifter to prevent drop down accidents.

@JohnHeisz 11 лет назад

Great project and a very engaging video, Jay - nicely done!

@JayBates 11 лет назад

@JayBates 9 лет назад

AZQuadRunner Thank you.

@DustyTravis 11 лет назад

Nice work, Jay! I really like the miter gauge addition for safely cutting the half laps with no tear out. Nice tip.

@claudebieniek385 4 года назад

We used a old blower fan out of furnace when we remodeled our house , really sucks the dust out. Can probably get one free from someone who does Hvac. I just built a stand and put in the window. Great job

@affromma 9 лет назад

I have to remember to try coving with my dado set as you did. [Have never used my Rockler jig and your method looks slick.] Thx.

@jefreystuartmadriddegiron255 8 лет назад

I LOVE your videos everything just flows and all the information comes fast no nonsense and actually enjoyable to watch. seriously every other how to channel on RU-vid is straight monotone I feel like dying after watching other how to videos

@cpine522 11 лет назад

Great idea with the level! Working with construction grade lumber can be a challenge due to its moisture content. Much higher than a cabinet grade material for example. So it does have a propensity for movement because of that. Your joinery on this project looks exceptional! Very good job! This chest will be rock solid for a very long time.

@sarullowoodworks4795 10 лет назад

Nice piece Jay and good looking joints. Thanks for sharing.

@JayBates 10 лет назад

Thank you Phil. Thanks for watching :)

@bocfus72 11 лет назад

Another great project Jay, you can deffinately tell you take great pride in your work, and the way you filmed this episode has deffinately improved also. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing your passion with us!

@alaskaboomer6143 10 лет назад

Being new to this Jay, I enjoyed watching and learning. At this point , I am more into learning just how many different ways that my tools can safely and effectively be used. RU-vid and many knowledgable woodworkers (including yoursefl) are turning into a great teacher for me. Thanx and the chest looks great!

@MoseleyHall4946 8 лет назад

Love this build. Very impressive.

@haroldphillips8388 10 лет назад

I thought that it was an excellent instruction,you tube post,it does go to show what you can do with the correct tools to hand,I thumbs up from me,excellent.

Nice big chest and I love the way pine gives it a rustic look. Great job and really enjoyed the vid.

@JayBates 11 лет назад

Thanks for the kind words! Yeah, working with pine is always tough. Thanks for watching!

@Hollywood4Fun 10 лет назад

Dude - take it from a guy who made the mistake - don't ever reach to the opposite side of the circular saw blade. In the blink of an eye the board can kick back and take your hand with it. I have a few missing fingers on my left hand for doing that. Use a push block/stick.

@diannsapien3138 9 лет назад

That's rough man.. Thanks for the reminder. Sometimes when working with my table saw I get a little too comfortable. We often think "that won't happen to me" but a good reminder to all of us who read it that it can.

@habsfan9377 9 лет назад

A friend of mine did the same thing with a mitre saw. His shirt ended up getting caught in the blade and sucked his arm in cutting him from his wrist to his elbow. He almost lost his arm.

I feel your pain Hollywood4Fun I split my finger down the middle doing exactly what Jay was doing if your talking about making an inside cut up against the fence as a stop. Also blew a hole in my chest when it kicked back I thought someone shot me from outside.

@maidayjeen6919 10 лет назад

Jay, thank you so much for takes time and making this GREAT blanket chest and it's looks great. It is exactly what I am looking for to built and I hope my will turn out as good as your. Have a wonderful day.

@alexmcdon 10 лет назад

Great skills and nice camera work too. Love the trick with the dados and guide at an angle to rout the lid detail - first time I've seen that, will definitely try it out. Beautiful box. Thanks for sharing.

@JayBates 11 лет назад

Thanks. Freud Advanti dado blade from Home Depot. It's a cheap set with horrible reviews. I try not to get caught up in name brands or expensive tools anymore. This set works just fine.

@inglescintron 9 лет назад

Very nice job on this hope chest. Thank you for sharing.

@MVPartStore 10 лет назад

A friend asked if I could build a hope chest for her. I'm glad that you have such an awesome idea for one. At least now I have a good starting point. Thank you.

@Amare-fidem-spes 8 лет назад

use the scrap timber to make inlays takes your projects to a new levels. you tube has many tutorials to teach you how. Hope this can help.

@Mark472012 6 лет назад

That's a great piece! And a Great video for explaining things. Tremendously Solid with the half laps. Only issue I have with Pine Furniture is how easily its dinged up throughout the years. I usually build all my pieces from hardwoods for that reason alone. But your video shows you can build nice stuff with cheaper quality woods. Keep up the great Work!!

@MrJohnnyboyrebel 9 лет назад

The scraps make great paint stirring sticks.

@michaelesposito9786 11 лет назад

Wow Jay that was great, It would have been great to have made mine that way but maybe someday. Your shop has grown and more professional looking to. As you go I learn. I wish I had the space you have, it's make a big difference then to have a 15x20 room down my basement and I have my table saw in the front room where the ceiling isn't quite 6' tall. It makes it really hard to do good work when tools are all over the place, bummer.

@RuteSatrovska 11 лет назад

I love the work and the feelings... I feel it.. love it.

@JayBates 11 лет назад

Thanks! SketchUp is AWESOME. Google sketchup for woodworkers. That guy has a great set of tutorials for anyone to learn sketchup.

@allansolomon2137 10 лет назад

Brings a whole new meaning to the term hope chest. Hope you don,t fall in because you will not get out. It is HUGE. The blue stained (damp) board at the front of the lid looks out of place. Knots are fine.

@JayBates 11 лет назад

Thanks Cosmas!

@moofushu 8 лет назад

Have you heard about under bed shelters? All it is is a large box like this that is made into a bed frame leaving a space under your bad and a mattress on top. In the case of a tornado someone would seek shelter by removing the mattress and hiding in the shelter portion under the mattress. Just an Idea. I've also seen people make rolling dog beds for their K-9 friends. Some of them are really nice looking.

@90MichaelTaylor 10 лет назад

I love it when people grab crappy hardware store grade wood and build something nice out of it.

@reidy186 6 лет назад

Excellent videos Jay thanks for sharing i'm really learning a lot from you're channel, maybe i'm overthinking but why doesn't wood movement effect half-lap joints in the middle of a board? and wouldn't the movement of the styles break glue on the plywood? just trying to get my head around when and when not to worry about wood movement

@micsor4121 10 лет назад

Complete envy. I'm looking at wood work for a hobby. Well, at least trying it. Thank you for sharing your skill. Many Blessings

@MukYJ 10 лет назад

I like how the construction lumber turned out, but not a fan of that grain pattern on the ply. That box looks seriously sturdy!

@matthopkins3340 10 лет назад

Great looking chest and like yourself, I make do with the tools at hand, not those I only wish I could afford. Something an old carpenter told me as a child sticks with me to this day....." tools do not the tradesman make" something worth remembering before spending hundreds of £'s or $'s on a bit of kit. Keep enjoying what it is you do ;-)

@guyh.4553 3 года назад

Very nice job. You were doing great until the belt sander. Connect to a Shop Vac & a LOT of the dust issues go away (speaking from personal experience!). Having never made anything like that, one thing that I would consider doing is line the interior with cedar. Just a thought

@madwilliamflint 10 лет назад

Nicely done. I love the trick with the level.

@Mental_Fortitude 6 лет назад

Awesome project. Turned out really nicely. Congratulations!

@BrookNBones 9 лет назад

I would suggest that you invest in a side mount gas powered motor like an edger motor or something. Since you're so good with wood working create yourself a prop for the shaft and a box frame (safety ya know) to house it. Place some baffles in the corners. That way next time you're using that belt sander instead of trying to suck the debris out with the fan you can pressurize your shop with positive pressure. It's way more efficient that way at moving air through a building. Negative pressure moves little to no air through a building and allows dust to settle, unless you have a huge fan like an old barn fan. Positive pressure will most likely even keep those cabinets clean next time.
