Josh, I am an old graybeard, about the same vintage as your boxes. I subscribed after watching you build some interior doors with simple design, construction and ww tools. I like the way you work, using some imagination and tools/materials at hand. You remind me of Alex Steele, another youngish guy that bought his first anvil at around 10 yo, developing his blacksmithing skills over the years. Seeing young men like the two of you on your respective channels gives me hope for the future, which in your case, is very bright.

@beefan2528 2 года назад

summer, 1968 - I earned 7 pennies each to assemble hundreds of this type box for seedling flats. Second day, one hammer swing per nail - no predrill, but a jig and an inserted spring bar to position end boards uniformly vertically. :) memories

@lockedloaded4942 2 года назад

The vice printing press idea is brilliant. Great video and the boxes look great!

@brucelee3388 2 года назад

Firstly, I think you are spot on with cutting down the lumber into parts, the lack of waste suggests the original parts were cut down from 2x stock on a table saw (probably running on leather belts from an outside engine). The original printing was probably done on something like a 'letter press' printer using print blocks cast from a wooden master pattern - so if you go into making these to sell at markets you could make a basic letter press printer from wood and a small number of metal fixings, a couple of axles & ball bearings. You could also try making a cheaper stain by boiling up old coffee grounds - most coffee shops would be happy to give you a bucket of old grounds to experiment with - just don't leave the unprocessed grounds at room temperature as they will rot & absolutely stink the place out.

nicely done. you're not the only one that loves these. I figured a stencil was the way to go on something like this but I guess a stamp is more precise.

@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230 2 года назад

See, this old lady can learn something new. What a crazy good idea and love the jig set-up using your vise for a press! You won't believe this but I have a Sh_ _ ton of wooden sides to old strawberry boxes. Just those and a few blank ones the same size. I thought they were so pretty I bought them for a "someday" project and now I know what I'm going to do with them. I have some dimensional lumber for the rest of the box I'll cut down in my woodshop and when I redo my kitchen cabinets, I can use them in the kitchen. Maybe I'' epoxy the inside of the boxes and use them for the herbs I'm growing. Thank you so much Josh for the idea!!! It sure is nice seeing a young man interested in Woodworking!

Very clever young lad using the vice and making the stamp like that. I always use vinyl as a stencil, but then that's a consumable product. The stamp is the way to go, it's reusable, and less time consuming. Good on ya.

@wafflebeaver 3 года назад

Very cool way to add a bit of graphics. I like the vice grip technique!

@alans1816 3 года назад

It's interesting how many things you needed to figure out to do this. Nice job. Printer's ink probably has very specific properties to make it easier to use than paint. I recall from print shop (1960's) that we used rubber rollers rather than brushes to apply ink. It's possible that makes it easier. 3D printing a negative used for casting with silicone caulk or something soft might also make the job easier with less pressure than the vise. In any case, you got it all to work well!

@JoshWrightWoodworking 3 года назад

Thanks! There was a lot of things I wanted to do that would have been easier/better like use thicker ink or a softer stamp materisl but I just didn't have the supplies to do so on hand so I just had to make do with what I had. 3d printing a silicone mold is really good idea by the way. If I need to made stamps again in the future I might try that.

@That_Ryan_Guy 2 года назад

Stole my first thought. Make a stencil with the 3d printer then use spray paint or roller for applying paint. Then the consistency of the paint doesn't matter as much.

@essextwo Год назад

@Turk380 2 года назад

love the combination of new tech/maker tools with old world woodworking.. maybe instead of a 3d printed stamp though, use something like a Cricut to make stencils? I think that would work much better with paint. I took some printmaking in college and that requires much thicker/stickier ink and rollers to apply consistently.

@ericmunro7941 2 года назад

This is awesome! I wonder if using printmaking ink instead of paint would give you more consistent results? Like for Lino cuts or woodcuts.

@sticustom 2 года назад

This is my opinion so tell me to rack off if you like. Imperfect printing gives it a more rustic appearance. I’ve been alive for almost 59 years and wooden crates were the norm for most goods and I’ve never seen a perfect box or print. Also I’ve not seen staples used to hold them together. Nails, dove tailed joints were the two main types of joins for the corners and base. Remember I’m in Australia so staples may have been the norm there where you are. Overall they look great. Your printing idea was and is unique and a fantastic idea. I love what I see. Keep it up.

@That_Ryan_Guy 2 года назад

Nice job! Try scuffing the imperfect boxes with some steel wool. #00 is very fine and would be a good place to start will burnish the wood a bit. The main aim to blend the stamp with the wood but could also be used for creating fake wear marks. Blending might work better before finish but I would try it finished just to see what happens! Also allot of the older boxes used 2 or more pieces for the bottom. So if resawing the bottom boards is a bit sketchy you could cut them in 1/2 or 1/3s before the resawing so you do it in one go. And at the end of the day its all about trying different/new shit out...not making a perfect whatever. Perfect only exists in photoshop! Its how I personally grow, Be dam proud of what YOU made not bought. Warts and all. And if you don't point the warts out...99.9% of the people won't notice or even care.

Cool crates! I'm repeatedly amazed at how much material you find by resawing dimensional 2x6's. Your printing looks fantastic! Without a 3d printer, I still think we could come up with a way to create the stamps... hand carving? (Any ideas for a material? I vaguely remember watching someone carving a relief in a thick brown block with a white surface for printing but can't remember the process name. )

@JoshWrightWoodworking 3 года назад

Thanks man! I actually saw a video of someone just using regular woodcarving chisels on a large sheet of eraser material to make really nice stamps. After seeing that video, I almost made my stamps the same way but I was not sure how well I would be able to translate the old-fashioned font I wanted into carving. Still a great alternative tho.

@rwind656 3 года назад

@@JoshWrightWoodworking I think what I saw years ago was linoleum, block mounted. I don't think it's too difficult to carve. Special little carving tools. (Search for 'block printing.') Looking around a bit, I gather that the eraser material is a more recent carving medium. Not sure how either would print onto wood. But now that you have me thinking, I have seen a good many transfer techniques for using an inkjet printer and transferring the image onto wood. Not quite the painted effect you got, I guess. But an alternative for those of us without access to a 3d printer. And easier than carving or at least faster, for those like me who are more interested in the woodworking effort than in pursuing carving. :)
