How to make life edge and epoxy fly boxes similar to epoxy or glass river tables. I made one of these as a give away for a Flison Event in Detroit and the rest will be posted for sale on my website.

The textured epoxy is absolutely killer! Really makes the river look much more 'alive' and less static.

@ThirdCoastCraftsman 6 лет назад

Thanks so much Paul. I thought it was really cool how the epoxy “worked” similar to wood where I could actually push a gouge through it. I wonder if it would good on a larger piece like a coffee table

@1Jwpeff 6 лет назад

maybe add some color too nice work

@joeschutt9041 5 лет назад

If it had some blue dye it might even look like water or a river!

@simonem.3092 3 года назад

Wow. Your woodworking is artistry but the flies take the cake. There’s a universe in those flies. Truly beautiful.

@YouCanMakeThisToo 6 лет назад

"I found some really interesting unique pieces of wood" is a great way of saying "I found a perfect use for the garbage wood the lumber yard couldn't sell." Beautiful work as always, Chris!

@ThirdCoastCraftsman 6 лет назад

Exactly. Gotta find the beauty in everything. Which is what i remind myself about you all the time 😂 much love brother. Oh by the way woodprix made your outfeed table better ZIIIIIINNNGGGGG!!!!

@johnbrand4995 6 лет назад

YouCanMakeThisToo I am a 17 year old and just starting to get into wood working. How can I find peicies of wood like the ones that he used in the video. Do I ask for them at a lumber yard?

@YouCanMakeThisToo 6 лет назад

That's a good way, and there's a fair chance they have a scrap or cut off bin full of stuff like that.

@johnbrand4995 6 лет назад

YouCanMakeThisToo Awesome, thank you.

@michaeldennis4860 3 года назад

Find a local saw mill. Often a guy with a Woodmizer or other one man operation. We have tons of cut offs from the saw mill that are live edge, figured, wood, and wood with with character that are cut offs and gets thrown away. You can often get this stuff for free. Keep in mind you will have to dry this wood but with a little research you will can easily do this at home.

@pecoswild 6 лет назад

Wow! As a fly fisherman who ties my own flies and an aspiring wood worker, just wow! Very impressive boxes AND flies.

@jnix112 5 лет назад

This combines two of my favorite things- woodworking and fly fishing! Love it, and love the fact you used mostly hand tools- just fits with the theme.

@RADCOMJ1 3 года назад

I woke up this morning with an idea for river boxes and then I found your channel... Again lol. I love the gouged detailed ones. Such fantastic attention to detail, very inspiring thank you. I don't fish but I love trout.

@jmert_5859 6 лет назад

i'm not sure what was more impressive, making the boxes or making the flies.

@ThirdCoastCraftsman 6 лет назад

Haha. Both have definitely taken some practice 😁

@jmert_5859 6 лет назад

Both are definitely an art. i enjoy woodworking and the only fly fishing we do around here is chasing files around w/ flyswatters.

@alexandraleonte6441 4 года назад

😁😁

@hermessoboleski676 4 года назад

I agree, just awesome.

@johndavis8746 3 года назад

@@ThirdCoastCraftsman I know this is 2 years later. But I love tying flies and fly fishing and I'm a fellow michigander. Would you mind telling me what you call the fly you tied?

@JasonAHeisey 5 лет назад

The epoxy texture that looks like rippling water is stunning.

@keenaheaton8853 6 лет назад

The textured box that was on the resin only I thought was interesting, like running water. Beautiful work, great video!

@spankeydog83 5 лет назад

The boxes with texturing on the epoxy are my personal favorite, since it looks like water.

@TwistedWorkshop77 6 лет назад

These look amazing! Definitely the top with the texture just in the epoxy. It makes it look like a windy day on the water!

@ThirdCoastCraftsman 6 лет назад

You’re right, I wasn’t even thinking that when doing it but I totally see that now

@oldehatt476 3 года назад

Well done young man! Bravo! Wood Working, Fly Tieing, Fishing, not sure life gets better than that...

@wmwalkerco 6 лет назад

So nice! I really like the scalloped epoxy texture. Very cool effect. Might have to try that

@anthonydtobias 6 лет назад

Wm. Walker Co. I'm 100% with you on that one...i was going to comment the same thing.

@batchmanmobil4116 6 лет назад

I like them best as well. Make the epoxy look like water with these ripples is a great finish for a flybox

@ThirdCoastCraftsman 6 лет назад

I suppose I’ll allow you to try. After all I did steal your lighting advice for some of those shots with the gouge haha ✊

@ricos1497 6 лет назад

The walnut half and half with scalloped epoxy definitely the best. Although the one with the scalloped epoxy running down the centre probably most resembles the river that you're fishing on. Don't know if that's what you were going for, but it worked nevertheless!

@brianbraynen4178 6 лет назад

Nice,you said instead of the board you would use tape,what kind of tape? To avoid sticking

@Schroedrsnufkin 5 лет назад

The textured look a lot better than I anticipated. Look like fish scales.... Very appropriate. thanks for the ideas.

@KSFWG 6 лет назад

I really like them all! I think some color (blue, turquoise, aqua, etc) to the epoxy is the only thing I'd change, and that's just a preference thing... They are all very nice!!

@ThirdCoastCraftsman 6 лет назад

Thank you sir! And I agree some color would Look awesome!

@AndrewIMartinez 6 лет назад

I think the textured one add something totally new to the epoxy game. Those are all awesome.

@krisfreyermuth935 6 лет назад

My favorites are the highly figured wood with the textured epoxy. Very complimentary. Outstanding work! 👏👏👏

@ThirdCoastCraftsman 6 лет назад

I’m right there with ya!

@georgebrill3072 6 лет назад

All are awesome and I don't think I could pick one over the other. Any flyfisher would be proud to have one.

@inayat21189 6 лет назад

M speechless Chris. Your work is becomin exquisite. Amazing technique n clean neat work.

@ThirdCoastCraftsman 6 лет назад

Thank you so much for the great comment! I appreciate the love and support

@J4Julz 11 месяцев назад

These boxes are so cool! The live edge with textured epoxy adds so much, and now I have a million ideas for something similar, yet different. :) Loved watching you tie the fly- it's been forever since I watched someone do that, great memories

@TailEndCustoms 6 лет назад

Dude those are bad ass. I like them all in there own way. Beautiful job

@ThirdCoastCraftsman 6 лет назад

Thanks bud. They definitely are cool in their own way

@mechafan180 6 лет назад

All the boxes look really nice . 2,3,4,10, and 12 I liked the most.

@oakleyjack7600 6 лет назад

Beautiful work, very creative as always. I like that you don’t settle and try different ideas or improvements as in using texture. Check out Iwasaki files from most any site ie, Highland, Woodcraft, Lee Valley etc. Try some you’ll keep them close at hand,,,,instead of reaching for sandpaper or plane, the extra fine are just as aggressive as the fine or medium and leave a glass finish, hardly reach for a medium. Tell Utz to quit talking so much.!

@ThirdCoastCraftsman 6 лет назад

Thanks so much. Actually you you look close I am using a Iwasaki file when I’m working on smoothing out my feet saw cuts for the box body. I totally agree with you. Those are SWEET!!!

@michaelthanksheroes2975 2 года назад

Just beautiful inside and out. Attention to detail is phenomenal. Much applause.

@subgeeze 3 года назад

Gorgeous work!-- both box and flies. And a gorgeous fish, too. But don't let too many people know what a great state we have.

@mc4kvb 6 лет назад

Amazing job Chris. You are so talented son...not only woodworking but fly making and fishing!! What’s next!!! Did you learn to make flies from your granddad? I do like the one you did the extra embellishments on. The copper tubing is a great touch too. Overall a great build for all of the boxes and the video was well edited too. Be safe son.

@ThirdCoastCraftsman 6 лет назад

Thanks so much Becky. I’m glad you liked the video! No I learned fly tying and fishing all by myself 😁

@mc4kvb 6 лет назад

Third Coast Craftsman Your very good at it son.

@shawnhollingsworth4456 5 лет назад

Never fly fished but love fishing. These box are epic! Any whoever did win one of these I'm sure were over the top ecstatic.

@richardlaymance9984 5 лет назад

Gosh!!! I’d be hard pressed to choose one over another as they were all beautiful. Great job. Man you’ve got talent

@aaronstultz2593 6 лет назад

For a fly box...the scalloped epoxy makes it look like water, very fitting!

@lanceharper2099 6 лет назад

Woodworking, fly tying, fishing all in one video, heck yeah. Those are all awesome, the textured river one is my favorite.

@ThirdCoastCraftsman 6 лет назад

Haha doesn’t get much better than that. I hit the trifecta ✊

@samhouston1288 6 лет назад

My favorite is the textured resin and smooth wood. Makes it look like water coming up to a shore, absolutely perfect for this project.

@ThirdCoastCraftsman 6 лет назад

So true. Thanks brother!

@mcmillenbr 6 лет назад

@lesrichardson2069 6 лет назад

All beautiful boxes. Have to say the textured ones just stand out so much more. Very nice

@bryanmoir3184 4 года назад

Loved the peened copper rivet, the texturing and the lived edged epoxy. The essence of fly fishing style.

@JoeJoeBearr 6 лет назад

The last box shown, further to the left is by far my favorite. Your channel is such an inspiration to get out and create. Thank You!

@ThirdCoastCraftsman 6 лет назад

Thanks so much Joejoe I really appreciate that man

@connorbrown8105 6 лет назад

I like the scalloped texture, epoxy only on the half walnut half epoxy boxes. Its like you are fishing from a land mass into the moving water looking at the lid. Great work!

@nosuca99 2 года назад

These are outstanding. What a great gift for a sportsman.

@tmn67 5 лет назад

I really like the ones with the dimpling. That looks like water. All are amazing!

@ctfxc1ftw 6 лет назад

Wow I like the boxes where the wood is smooth and the epoxy is textured

@scottharris6423 5 лет назад

I like the brass "hammer rivet" with swinging tops. Also the textured looks cool, like the wind blowing on the river. Very nice!!!

@NicholasArmbrust 5 лет назад

Counting from the right, my FIL bought me #4...the swivel with the epoxy river in the middle. Just got it for Christmas! What an amazing piece of craftsmanship! Plan on taking it to the driftless area this spring!

@briandasch8494 3 года назад

The boxes with the texture on the epoxy portion are great! Very inspiring.

@FullSailDale1 6 лет назад

Are you kidding? Which ONE do we like best??? They're all awesome!! Excellent workmanship!

@TheDonnaAnn 5 лет назад

Lalalalove these fly boxes! My favourites are the ones that have the textured epoxy. It looks like running river water.

@jongregory886 6 лет назад

Bravo sir.. excellent all the way around. I like the fact you actually used what you made. Art and function. Perfect.

@bigchippa101 6 лет назад

From Michigan myself.... sadly i do not fly fish (yet), however i did enjoy this video... the boxes look terrific ... great job Sir..

@jacobhornsby5579 6 лет назад

They all look good. I particularly like the 3rd to last one when you do the initial pan across all the boxes.

@scottcallan3897 3 года назад

Love these fly boxes, so much better than the plastic ones, what a great job

Haha thanks so much Ben. I really appreciate the love man!

@Oceanstream62 8 месяцев назад

Beautiful work. Love the scalloped effect on the epoxy and the timber left smooth. Too good to take to the field.

@nnusa 6 лет назад

I loved the copper rivet style and where the epoxy is textured to look like water. The last box you closed in the video. They are fantastic! Perfect father's day gifts, or any time of the year really.

@ThirdCoastCraftsman 6 лет назад

Thanks so much Brock. I really appreciate that man! Too bad I didn’t get these out in time for Father’s Day 😁

@suedfrucht44 6 лет назад

Awesome boxes - great use of epoxy which i find more visually appealing in a smaller scale like this! My favourite is the lighter one that is not square but has the little feature sticking out

@danielsmail8131 6 лет назад

Oooooo.... I love the textured epoxy with flat wood ones!

@Coreyrkennedy Год назад

This is the most underrated woodworking RU-vid videos ever. Such great content, especially with the fly-making and fish-catching thrown in. So cool

@TravisLee-o1j 4 дня назад

They are all awesome! But love ripple in the epoxy. Perfect touch Chris.

@Zogg1281 6 лет назад

All of the boxes are beutiful, but if I had to choose, I think the ones where you have done the texture look amazing and the one where you have just done the texture on the river part make it look like a river in motion. Your flies are also a work of art! Thank you for sharing these amazing skills 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

@ThirdCoastCraftsman 6 лет назад

Thanks so much for the kind glen! I’m glad you liked the video and flies 😁

@ryanjohnson8152 6 лет назад

Watching your work with the hand tools is very soothing, zen master of the grain!

@bobjazzman9038 6 лет назад

I like the pivot box style with the texture design, but all are great looking boxes.

@trevorlebert1929 6 лет назад

tying that fly at the end was the best surprise of the video. excellent work

@The_Original_Brad_Miller 6 лет назад

Those things are Gorgeous! Works of art every one.

@opiesdeath 6 лет назад

The gauged epoxy mimics the river so perfectly. Really impressive work

@ThirdCoastCraftsman 6 лет назад

Thanks bud! I’m pretty happy with the texturing :)

@stevekoperski5997 4 года назад

Those are some amazing fly boxes!!! My personal favorite is the textured box. Beautiful work!!

@drftkng. 6 лет назад

the scallop texture is very cool.. gives it a water look.

@billyring4 5 лет назад

I love them all will take one of each. I could not just pick one they are all wonderful heirloom pieces. Great work Chris. Now I know what I can do with all that scrap lumber.

@JonathanExcels 6 лет назад

The ones with the pivot and textured epoxy in the clear section are beautiful. A watch displayed in this type of box would look sweet.

@ThirdCoastCraftsman 6 лет назад

Very good point. I might reach out to a watch company about a project like that. Good idea

@jamespolucha6911 4 года назад

Man nice work, I just started wood working and found out how expensive wood is so I started making small boxes for my grand kids ,friends and neighbors but was running out of ideas until I saw your videos and I’m going to try it, thanks for the video

@donaldpowell7762 6 лет назад

Wow! They are all gorgeous, but I especially love the walnut with gouged epoxy on the middle.

@ThirdCoastCraftsman 6 лет назад

Thanks Donald. Great name. It’s my grandpa’s (the greatest man I ever knew) and my middle name 😁

@garethc5429 6 лет назад

Three of my favourite things. Woodwork, fly tying and fly fishing. You sir are a true craftsman. The boxes are beautiful

@rdunnam100 6 лет назад

I have to say I like them all - as I looked at them rolling by a few times I realized that for me personally I like the gouge work in the epoxy.

@ThirdCoastCraftsman 6 лет назад

Thanks man! The texturing was definitely fun to experiment with

@gabrielgrobben7503 5 лет назад

I cannot fathom how someone could “dislike” this video, or any video put out by Third Coast Craftsman. This is 1st Class craftsmanship through and through. Always psyched to see a new video from this channel. “Well done” is an understatement. Thank you for your work brotha 🤙🏽

@ThirdCoastCraftsman 5 лет назад

Thanks so much bud

@rodengorman8762 5 лет назад

Really liked the method of adding the texture to the surface. Have to get the garage sorted so I can try out some epoxy designs.

@kathleengray106 6 лет назад

I like the textured carvings and just the plain style. Both are great

@blakeburch2835 6 лет назад

Echoing the textured epoxy. Absolutely beautiful boxes and your videos always make me get off the couch and get to the garage to build. Thanks for sharing your crafts

@ThirdCoastCraftsman 6 лет назад

That’s so awesome to hear and trust me I need the same motivation a lot of times haha

@joebaker5421 6 лет назад

Thanks Joe. I really appreciate that 😂

@maurahouston 5 лет назад

All gorgeous. I especially like the copper rivet swinging tops.

@hf8685 6 лет назад

Beautiful. The textured epoxy gives the effect of ripples in water. Makes we want to try fly fishing. Well done.

@ThirdCoastCraftsman 6 лет назад

Thanks bud, and you should definitely try fly fishing! It’s very rewarding

@markpeacock1956 6 лет назад

Love them all, but big fan of the gouged look, and personally like the pivoting opener - great work, lovely project!

@kieranfoster902 6 лет назад

Very clever. Great idea. They are stunning little boxes. As a fly box, I like the one with the apoxy down the middle. Looks like a river. Very apt being a fishing fly box.

@ThirdCoastCraftsman 6 лет назад

Thanks so much. I like that one a lot too.

@tantoBass 5 лет назад

Great work. They all look amazing but I love the textured epoxy. Looks like water that's moving down the banks.

@chadlward 6 лет назад

Beautiful work and even though I am not a fisherman I found those fly's to be works of art in themselves. I did not think that I would like the scalloped epoxy and I didn't until I saw the boxes at the end of the video. It really added a nice touch when it contrasted with the smooth wood finish.

@ThirdCoastCraftsman 6 лет назад

Thanks so much Chad, glad you liked the video man!

@sgtcarroll 6 лет назад

Textured epoxy only looks amazing.

@Jag111vip 6 лет назад

My favorites are the walnut with the water ripples in the epoxy, if you experiment again, maybe a greenish blue tint to epoxy, regardless, anyone would be lucky to own one of those, video was wonderful to watch
