How to Make a Patterned Box with a Lid // Sliding Lid // Geometric Pattern // Beads of Courage Box 

After countless woodworking videos, I stumbled onto this video and it is the first one that my wife also enjoyed. After watching she even expressed interest in learning woodworking (wow!) and setting up a shop. THANK YOU. The boxes are both beautiful! Great technique, design and engaging video.

this woman gives off like an energetic bob ross vibe. Ive been wanting to get back into wood working. i havent done it since high school. I love the content of your videos!

My battle with esophagus cancer was put in perspective each time I walked the halls of Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. These brave warriors battle this terrible disease every minute with courage unmatched. Tears shed for our fallen warriors. God bless our caregivers and warriors. Thank you for your support. ❤️ Keep the faith and kick cancers ass.

Beautiful work - loved the inlay look after your “design opportunity”. There are so many tips and tricks in this vid! Saved for future reference.

That little inlay detail in the lid is totally professional 😍 Great job!

Very nice boxes, Tamar !! I enjoy making boxes. It's one project that never gets old for me. Thanks for the video !!

I love seeing you smile when something starts to be beautiful

I'm 40 years a tradesman and sit at home all day due to illness these days. I look forward to your videos coming out. They are always well made and always great projects also well made. Thank you for the entertainment.Your skills have come on so fast. Beware! Box making is addictive!

The finished product looks amazing! I love the triangle pattern with inlay.

I followed your link to BOC. Who's cutting onions in here? Something's in my eye. My allergies are kicking up. Seriously, thank you for sharing this.

just incase you wanted to know, i work at a cabinet/drawer shop and have learned light years more from you, than i have in 6 months at work. thats for impowering the masses. its appreciated.

Thank you for not hiding your mistakes. I learn so much from seeing and hearing you problem solving. You're a great teacher.

OMG instant subscribe. This was mesmerising to watch. I love the pace of this video, and your editing.

Tamar; great project and cause! You’re so talented! I see you have a little photo bomber in the making, how fun! Thanks for the smile 😊

The best thing I like about your videos is that you show where you can improve or where you made a mistake just like the rest of us would.

Tamar you are a great joy to watch, listen to and learn from. My wife is interested in learning woodworking. We are going to have fun learning together from you! Thank you so much for sharing the wonderful gifts God has given you with us all!

19:10 "It looks like really professional looking". I've been thinking that for every single video you've done. Cheers, keep up the tremendous work!

Wow! You're incredibly inspiring. Love it. Thank you.

You are a talented lady , and I agree , the inlay adds a touch of class to the box .

They're absolutely wonderful boxes! I've always loved contrasting woods seen together. Thank you so much!!

This has to be the most beautiful box that i've ever seen Awesome work! :D

Great work as usual! These boxes came out awesome; love the patterns! Thanks for sharing and congrats on 100k!

Tamar, beautiful boxes by a beautiful lady. thanks for undertaking the Beads of courage boxes. yes the children will enjoy those tremendously, and I’m impressed with your patterns that you created from your scraps.

Before i watch this (informative, I'm sure) video, i must say that your scrap bin is nicer than my scrap bin!

Wow - So clever and so beautiful.

I've enjoyed watching your skills grow through your videos and this has been my favourite one so far. Don't be so hard on the first box, they are both beautiful. Keep up the good work and I look forward to the next one!

I love the speed of the narration on your videos. I watch every other video on RU-vid at 2x, but with yours 1x is just fine. Great job.

I cant help but look at all the older videos. I have no wood working ability but your videos are so fun!!!

I need to get i to making jigs. Great job!!

That inlay! Such a small detail but added so much character to the design

First thing : Your talent is awesome but your modesty, ingenuity and presence is even more awesome. I just watched the Beads Of Courage video and my oh my it is humbling how brave and positive the children are going through an experience that is so much in the balance of life and death. The Beads Of Courage programme is a wonderful way to help them on their journey to hopefully have a full and fulfilling life.

The hidden spline blew my mind-such skill and creativity. Thank you.

This made me really appreciate the craftsmanship behind these boxes. I came here hoping to learn to make a patterned box and have now realized my skills pale in comparison! Absolutely beautiful work.

My head is spinning! A lot of detail that all came out great. Both boxes are awesome. Great cause. You are special. Thanks Tamar.

I have been watching you from the beginning and WOW have you picked up wood working!! Your talent has hit light speed with precision! Thanks for sharing your time and talent!

Beads of Courage is a fantastic program, thank you so much for supporting them. It was quite a comfort for me to track the beads while my baby was getting treatment. And because he was a baby, he did not care but they also have a sibling portion that big brother loves. Thank you again and can’t wait to try my hand at this ❤️

These boxes are extremely cool. What a great way to use up some scraps and help a worthwhile cause. You can never go wrong when you reach out to help somebody who is in need. We all need to follow your example.

I really like how humane these videos are. I mean, here you could see a woodworker as a living human being with some doubts and inevitable mistakes, not a flawless woodworking machine. I think it's really great! Thank you very much, Tamar!

That inlay on the top came out great. Brilliant use of the trim router.

Holy scrap! What beautiful boxes for a great cause. Those beads are truly inspiring, a great way to show the many struggles these children have faced. And put the "weight" of it into perspective. Thanks for bringing this to our attention

Thanks. You're not alone in hoarding scrap wood. I like the way you used the wood. I've turned several bowls for Beads of Courage.

Those came out great Tamar! And I agree that the little boarder detail on the top takes it up a notch! Nice to see other makers are caught up in the pattern making bug...

With the look of these boxes, making a bathroom makeup organizer/holder would be awesome! Especially because no one else has built a makeup drawer or cabinet etc.

those boxes are beautiful!! amazing what you can make with scraps when creativity meets know-how. KUDOS!

I’m just getting my feet wet in woodworking and find your videos not only helpful but inspiring. Truly appreciate your time and effort in making and sharing these. VERY well done.

Just stumbled across your channel and I can’t stop watching. You have such great ideas and I can’t wait to try them for myself. Thank you for the way you explain everything so clearly, can’t wait to make people smile with great gifts I learned from your videos!

Keepsake boxes and jigs for helping make them is my hobby and passion. Your videos are just what I need! Thanks Tamar!

love your humility and honesty about mistakes, It gives others comfort going into new projects. I really envy you having a full garage to work in. I enjoy watching you work you are good at what you do. when i get to retire about 6 months from now i am going to try some of your projects.

How i am being recommended this video i dont know but i love it. I came from a family of carpenter and never bored to see such beautiful work and explanations. Is everyone really blind to see how beautiful is the carpenter apart from the work? I really love seeing you working untiring and talking without boring. First time viewer here and subbed you.

its always satisfying to glue up scrap wood and see the patterns emerge

You can play around with plywood patterns. Really great videos from Michael Alm could inspire. Love the boxes!

That was a very clever little box. I took some notes. I'll be checking out that kerf maker and thin rip jig. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful work and craftmanship. It gave me a bit of anxiety the amount of work and steps to build these. I will not be trying this out but I applaud your dedication! Amazing!

Love the genuine joy and happiness you express and such beautiful pieces - the clunk as the lid goes on the box is a total winner - and I love the speedy style of delivery - getting your thought processes as you work through is really insightful and inspirational - I guess that the offcuts being stored for some time there'll be little differential change in size of the pieces over time - my favourite series of how-to so far!!! Thanks!

Hi Tamar, great boxes for a great charity. I loved the chevron pattern and the different species of wood are stunning. From off cuts and scraps to beautiful boxes. Your enthusiasm really comes across in your video's. Thanks for sharing

Absolutely gorgeous boxes and made for a great cause. I was so mesmerized with how these turned out. Love that inlay you did. Such great contrast. Loving all those wood colors. Especially when the oil brought them to life. Wow!!! You amaze me with each video you share. Thanks again as always for sharing your knowledge and keep up the great work. I love your editing skills. Wish everyone on RU-vid understood when to speed up the video and explaining things to the point and not carrying on and on. I can watch your videos over and over and over again. It would take me years to get around to attempting something like this, but I want to one day. You are such a blessing. Thank you.

I now know what I can do with that random box of wood sold by the lb at the back of my local Rockler. That's awesome.

Not every carpenter has this vision. I congratulate you again. You are great.

Tamar, your skills are growing by leaps and bounds. I'm talking all aspects from design & camera to finished product... Love these. No mistakes - just happy accidents. Oh and your ingenuity is showing ... Don't fix that.

I'm blown away by your approach to woodworking.

Fantastic skill and craftsmanship you put into these boxes! They looked amazing! 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

Great boxes for a great cause. Instead of lining the box, you ca achieve a registration by routing a groove on the interior slightly over half the thickness and rout an offset groove on the outside to separate the pieces.

WOW, LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! I have watch countless other woodworking RU-vid videos, you bring a fresh approach with such enthusiasm and love of what you are doing. Thank you and keep them coming!!!!!

Yes, I like the contrasting inlays on the lid - looks very professional.

Thanks for helping those who are most in need.

Did you ever work in wider industry as a designer? You have a way of doing things which really floats my boat! I had a fairly decent career as an electronics designer, progressing through from small companies to slightly less small ones, including one which won the world F1 constructors' title for six seasons running. But still with a friendly, do it all feel. I could design everything from the boxes to the integrated circuits inside them, and everything in between, the printed circuits, all the circuits themselves, and the software to go with it all, both inside and outside the boxes. But the boxes were my favourite bit! I love to design the complete product, it gives so much more to you to be able to balance all the elements to produce your vision of what it should be. In meetings I had to present some kind of plan as to what I intended to do. Of course, you don't know until it's nearly finished, so I told stories. Nearly thirty years of doing everything on very short deadlines in a place where you simply had to deliver, I was exhausted. Your videos really resonate with what I really want to do now I am in my sixties. Thank you so much! I realise you probably have other priorities, your kids must be so proud of you! But please keep these coming when you can!

Absolutely beautiful. You do great work. Can't believe Saw Stop has not sent you a saw.

Those boxes are amazing, but it was your near magical talent and outstanding presentation that moved me to my first RU-vid comment. Going to be a long night of binge watching the remainder of your videos. I think it's going to be awesome!!!!!!

You sell yourself short Girl, those boxes are absolutely beautiful. Especially when you oiled them, they really popped. Amazing stuff. I don't like going off point but i have to mention your immaculate hands and fingernails...How ? Every Carpenter/woodworker i have ever known has gnarly ol digits, bits missing here and there and enough dirt under their nails to grow flowers. Kudos where kudos is due. Last, but not least, i now know why i can never find wood glue...you are using the world's supply in your workshop😉....Absolute Respect and peace to you.

Those inlay strips in the lid really really polished off the look. Came out awesome!

Lovely project, beautifully executed as usual. You really do give inspiration to this tired old dog, I'm going to be mumping scraps from everyone!

It’s great to be able to go on the adventure of building the creation with you. The boxes turned out awesome 👏

Very impressive! It’s always so rewarding to finish a project like this and look at it and realize “Wow! I made that!”

The boxes look fantastic, and those patterns make great cutting boards if you made coasters with the same pattern they would make lovely Christmas presents that anyone would love to receive.

Holy crap! These are beautiful! You’re the first female woodworker I’ve watched and I am blown away with your skill.

Beautiful. If you inlaid with Spanish cedar would make a great gift as a cigar box. Very nice.

I love the problem solving throughout the videos. But my one love, are the sleds! Back in the day with table saws in school etc, sleds didn't exist for the 300+ of us students that given year. They were just there to cut long lengths of wood and that was it. Seeing the versatility of a table saw to cut out dovetails etc with homemade sleds, beautiful. What a waste of a fine piece of machinery for so many thousands of students is my feeling!

I love all of your projects, but I think my favorite bits are your ending parts where you talk about what you did and didn’t like about the choices you made, and how you would fix/ change what you did. Really good work Tamar!!

You are, frankly, a woodworking baller. Those boxes are just lovely.

It's crazy how much work is concentrated in two boxes.

You are a legend. I love your creative thinking and problem solving

You're like the norm Abrams and Tommy Silva of this old house. Your work is astounding nice really nice😊

I’m in complete and total awe, beautiful work.

Wow! Nicely done. So much to think about when laying everything out. You did a great job Tamar!

Effort alot with professional way, in the end boxes looks nice 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Tamar, your creativity never fails to amaze me and your woodworking skills seem to improve exponentially from video to video. Can’t wait to see what’s next !

You Tamar are quite literally too good to be true. The universe does not allow such skills, Perfection, beauty, and awesomeness to exist in any one single entity. Next time you see yourself in the mirror, realize you are not really there. Just a figment in all wood workers imaginations to behold and to be admired.

These boxes turned out great - fantastic job!

First : love the little waving fingers in the first few minutes of the video. Gota love kids . Next : I am the same way with saving every little piece of wood ,scrap and extra from every previous project. Finally : ya gota love when an experiment comes together and looks as good as yours does. I hope one day I am blessed with a wife that wood works beside me . I think it's great that more woman are getting into woodworking every year. Thanks for sharing , take care Tamar .

I know you have a ton of tools, and that's awesome and expected for RU-vid woodworkers, but I have to say I love the fact that you use a jobsite table saw. Gives me hope that I can make things just as beautiful!

Watching you perform with such skill, one would think that you are a professional and not a DIY'er. love the boxes.

Hi Tamar. You are turning into quite a woodworker. Beautiful job. I want to make your jigs. They came in handy here. Thanks for sharing.

God, I LOVE that pattern. It really pops! Love that you used your scrap pile. Definitely going to be exploring this with my own scrap pile.

Bonsoir Tamar ! Magnifiques réalisations avec des chutes de bois, idée originale et d' un esthétisme certain, ce n'est pas tomber sous l'oeil d'un aveugle ... Cordialement, Jean-Luc

Beautiful boxes! You are SO creative. It has been so much fun watching you evolve as a woodworker. I love the way you just 'figure things out' intuitively. I am truly envious of your innovative and creative methods in not only your designs but also with your mechanics and jigs you develop to achieve your design goals. Please keep sharing your wonderful projects.

What a great great use (and validation) of scrap wood. It's for a great cause, great colors, great creativity and you make the BEST use of your jigs. I'm interested in how you store all these, but I'm really impressed how you show their practical use. Thanks for the video.

You are truly a gifted person. I really enjoyed this video, it is giving me inspiration to try my hand at some box making. I always learn something new when I watch your video. I think your shooting board is cool, just developing my hand planning skill sets. Thank you.

The boxes are absolutely beautiful......just as your heart is for making them for such a worthy cause! I always learn something from your videos and your narration is great as well. Keep up the great work and best wishes to you!!!

congratulations for the fantastic workmanship

Tamar! The quality of your work is extraordinary!!! I appreciate your videos!! thanks!!
