Make a Piano Jewelry Box 1: Miter, runners, chasing the grain 

I think you are amazing Mr Ng, I love your work and dry sense of humour. I think I love you long time.

Mr Ng. You are a real inspiration to me to strive to make beautiful furniture. I think you are among the top artist in the woodworking field. Thank you so much for sharing your gift with us. I learn something new every time I watch your videos. Thanks again!

I have seen others explaining how to chase the grain but never got it until now. Also, I think I got it figured out about direction to feed the router. Most excellent teacher.

I hope Saw Stop is a sponsor - you deserve the support

I love your HF clamps. I have many and they work great. BTW, this video has elevated my game by teaching me the "chasing the grain" method. I'll be sire to use this in a future project. Thanks for making this video!

Mr. Ng, sign me up! This is such an awesome project that I will most definitely try to undertake. Your tutelage sir is priceless to people like me. Thank you and please keep making these videos.

Thanks William, I have a one year old great-niece who will be getting one for Christmas! Thanks for sharing and stay safe!

Its been a long time since you made projects. Thank you for all you have done.

Just like being in one of your classes. Couldn’t wait for that moment when you ask all to gather around while you go over the next lesson to work on. You impart that bit of wisdom that just makes you think, duh, of course. That makes so much sense! Thanks for sharing William, Appreciate you.

Amazing. Love the project. Can’t wait to see part two.

Man I crave for your videos, they are very enlightening. And ooh g the neatness on your work as well as on your techniques is enviable. Thanks a lot for coming back.

Thanks for the videos! I love them when they come out!

Best explanation of how to chase the grain I've seen. Another great video. Thanx.

Thanks much. Always enjoy watching and -- most of all -- learning from your work.

You always have such an amazing attention to detail. Amazing work, cant wait for the next part!

Love your videos! Learn something every time I watch you. Can’t wait for part two!

I really enjoy watching your work.

Superb woodworking ii nstructor.Great job of grain chasing and matching.

Amazing how years of experience make it look sooooo easy.... thank you! Can't wait for part 2!

Great video, looking forward to part2.

So thrilled you’re making videos regularly!

Incredible work and design. I wish I could do something like that. Thank you for making the videos.

This is a fantastic video. The little details really make this more than a basic how-to.

Thank you William for helping me decide what SawStop to buy. It has been a joy for this old man. Please keep making videos and Keep up the good work.

Very skilled chap and great teacher . I thoroughly enjoy all his videos.

Love the way you work

Great work William,looks really neat.

Great instruction and details.

Excellent vid and the camera placement is good. William, Thank you so much for sharing this.

Very interesting runner system! Quite brilliant! You sir, are an inspiration! Your methodology is very clean and precise! You encourage excellence and its always a pleasure watching your videos! Kudos.

That is beautiful !!!

Quality project. Thanks.

I used the method you have showed in your video for sharpening thickness plane blades. It is amazing. It works like crazy. Thank you.

Our cabinet maker does this “chasing the grain”’ with drawer fronts and crown. Makes an amazing visual upgrade to a kitchen.

Great video again, your instruction is clear and easy to follow as usual. you are a true craftsman. I think one of my favorite things is seeing you use harbor freight clamps for holding the stop blocks. I have quite a few of those same clamps and while they aren’t the best for glue-ups in most cases they are a perfect cheap way to clamp blocks. I get tired of people preaching about buying expensive everything when cheap is fine to use in many instances.

The only criticism I have for you is to make more videos :) you're amazing

Thanks, Mr Ng.

Your the best Buddy

Hi William, Was contemplating making boxes for my twin grandaughters for the first birthday.. But now it will be Piano boxes.. Rebating the fronts for the runners to sit into is the type of details that sets professionals apart.. we already know this project will be a ripper... Thanks..

Thanks again: Chasing the grain is a methodology I hope to try soon and I hope you show your glue up technique in the future. Any tips on that would be much appreciated.

Very nice

I have to agree with Sam Spade! As well, we are all so happy to see you back producing videos. You point out the finer details that many do not example with insuring the proper alignment of the 1/8 router bit. It would be an easy mistake To make. I see I made a good choice with my Incra TS LS joinery system and the Incra Router Lift II I have the clean sweep insets well worth having.😁🛫

You have made me a better woodworker. For that I am your loyal servant. Ha not really. But I did buy some merch from your website. Thank you for everything you do.

I jest order the plands thank you so much I enjoy all the videos

Chasing the grain where I live, means harvesting the grain before it rains.!!

Maybe a little youtube magic when the saw was set to a perfect 45 immediately before cutting the zero clearance. Do you have an 8 cut method to perfect miters that we should know about? Or is it angle gauge/setup block followed by test cuts followed by minor tweaking followed by test cuts?

Nicely done. Love the stop-block method of making sure the opposite sides are of the same measurement. This surely helps to maintain a square box. The only step we missed was cutting the runners from the thin board after the round-over at the router. What eas the width of cut, 5/8"?

Very precise work ,looks great but you didn't show the glue up, what kind and clamping method. Glue up for me is always the scary, make or break point.

Get signed up with patron.. i will support you

What would you do if you found the box to be out of square after glue up? Great video, looking forward to part two.

👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🔥

Mr. Ng, I'm curious as to the dark squares (walnut?) on your woodworking bench. Is that for decoration or is there a functional reason for them?

very nice, i have a small editing request. when loud machinery is running, it is way louder than your voice, so i tend to lower the volume, then back again to hear you speak. would it be a lot of trouble to turn the volume down on the machine sections in the edit?

nice little project, I'm doing something similar right now for my mom's birthday. Did you mention what species of wood that was or did I miss it?

Where did you get the 1/8" stock? Buy it or did you mill it. Thank you.

William, (is it OK if I call you that?) I have a question about the table saw setup when you did the miter cuts. The false fence on the sled makes sense to me but, It seems that the angle of the blade is of utmost importance to get it exactly 45Deg. Is that the case? if so, can you elaborate on how you achieved this precision during the setup?

What did I see. Feeding 14 inch length boards into the planner that said 16 inch minimum. What’s good for the goose.....

Strange request but I'd like to know who makes the 6" rule with the stop on the end (being used at 12:28) please?

What type of wood are you using for this project? Is that Sapele or is that Bubinga?

5:40 Not Goin Anywhere

I do not see the RU1600 router bit in the store?

Are you selling anything? Can I order from you ?

Thumbs up to crush a troll.

having a hard time finding the plants to buy

Are those your legs at 2:11? Yikes! How can one person be so endowed? Hands and legs?!

"Minimum 16 inches length" (inserts 14-inch board)
