I am forever making DIY wooden boxes for all sorts of things and I wanted to try out this design idea to see how well it would work, with a basic rabbet joint box structure, from half-inch Birch Plywood, but reduce the top and the bottom too much thinner plywood to reduce weight while still maintaining strength, then add an interlocking lid design that doesn't need hinges, because some boxes are better off without hinges, especially if they are stored in drawers, lift-off lid boxes are far more convenient.

Really good video for making a prototype out of cheap material. Experiment before using quality. Save money. Thanks.

@MrDintimid8or 3 года назад

Great tip with the shim and painters tape when you cut the lid off!

@wiseoldfool 3 года назад

I enjoyed this Colin, It seems some viewers missed the point that the experiment is about creating a process, not creating a perfect finished article.

@mariuspretorius2130 3 года назад

I appreciate your honesty of showing what went wrong together with what worked well. One can identify more with your video that way.

Great Method of locking a lid. I will remember and use in the future, but with solid wood. Thanks Colin.

@daviddura1172 3 года назад

reminds me of the boxes that ENGLISH LEATHER USED TO COME IN.....My Dad loved that stuff and would get the QUART BOTTLE SIZE......still have a box or 2 from the late 60s early 70s.....great storage for memento's.....

@andylowry8439 3 года назад

Thank you Colin that was a good demo. I need to make some boxes and will try this method. Nice to see you wearing a wooden watch, I bought my dad a similar one and he really liked it. Thank you again for sharing.

@lylemorton8641 3 года назад

Interesting demo, Colin. Picked up on the shim and tape when you cut the forth side. I wouldn’t have thought of that and messed the whole thing up thing up before starting on the lid! Thanks for the tops.

@jamesallen6007 3 года назад

As always, excellent. Thanks Colin.

@willmorton6800 3 года назад

Since you know how deep your router was going to cut the outside of the box, I would have scored all four sides of the box with an exacto knife and it would have prevented the cut out (in theory).

@peterfitzpatrick7032 3 года назад

Sounds like that would be a good idea okay Will.. 😎👍

@maxximumb 3 года назад

A marking knife is the perfect too for this.

@Intarsia82 3 года назад

A light scoring cut with the table saw would also work

@MCsCreations 3 года назад

@johnwhitley2898 3 года назад

👍 Neat box and great process... recessed top. Thanks for showing us!

@UppsalaSal 3 года назад

That’s a nice technique...cutting the box on three sides and using a shim and tape before cutting the last side.

@David-hm9ic 3 года назад

Nice experiment with great results. That plywood looks exactly like what I used to cover my shop walls. It looks good on the walls but it's horrible for making anything. Every time I handle a piece I get splinters in my hands. The veneer comes off easily when crosscutting even on a table saw with sharp blades. The core density varies a great deal. It's inexpensive but it's cheap.

@j.m.castilla7150 3 года назад

Great job, thanks for your videos

@drayx777 3 года назад

I made my first box not too long ago and used a similar technique for the bottom panel. It was a pretty small box, and wasn't meant for anything heavy, so I actually used a scrap piece of paneling for the bottom. I used a double rabbet for the sides, and cut my rabbet for the bottom panel before assembling, so I didn't have to go back and square any round corners. To hide the fact that it was paneling, I painted the bottom of the box and lined the inside floor with some red adhesive backed felt, came out really nice, for my first attempt. My lid was very uninspired, but I made it work.

@snhongo1 3 года назад

Beautiful

@rwind656 3 года назад

Cut the inner grooves for the lid halfway through the inside of the box sides as a first step -- before gluing box the entire box together. Measure and remember where that groove is. Then, once the box is all glued up, cut a second line on the outside just as Colin did, just below the hidden inner groove. (Again halfway through the sides to separate the lid.) This is the first style box I ever made, but I built mine with mitered corners, so the inner groove isn't exposed at the corners. Saw it in a woodworking magazine years ago. Beautiful box.

@lazycarpenter0146 3 года назад

love your work, keep it up your are great.

@markduggan3451 3 года назад

@greghalford2617 3 года назад

I made one very similar it's now a nice drill bit box.

@sharmarajlekh9399 3 года назад

Nice one👌👍

@rjtumble 3 года назад

Loved the shim and painters tape, I hadn't seen that before (or not noticed anyway). I assume you would find where the router is going to cut on the outside, then you could run a knife along that line to cut the veneer, then you wouldn't get the tear out? Even better quality plywood is susceptible to that. This would probably work great with solid wood as well.

@Renassainceman 3 года назад

That's a nice alternative way to make a tight fitting lid on a box. I think it's better suited for hardwood, or even a soft wood like pine, rather than plywood. I wonder how well the plywood will stand up to the lid being taken on and off again over time?

@glenschumannGlensWorkshop 3 года назад

Thanks.

@trentyoung1135 3 года назад

Looking forward to you using this design in a hardwood.

@ericmelto7810 3 года назад

We use a corner chisel at work so we don’t have to round anything. We square the corners. That works best.

Nice box making, mate.👍🏽 Any recommendations on what hardwood to use with this method?

@samcreates9652 3 года назад

I was thinking about making a box, my phone says I have a notification and it's the best wood worker making a box

@cindyharrison4191 2 года назад

That's great 👍. Can it be done using a trim routers?

@EscobarStyle 3 года назад

Hi Colin. Question .. 1:22 what bit did you use to make that box join perfectly? I am making a box myself and would love to know how yours came out that way. Thank you

@frankrodriguez6424 3 года назад

Colin, why would u not be able to do this on router tabe??

@santiagomarino6149 3 года назад

Nice design. But why not using the router table instead of building the plexiglass jig?

@lancem5965 3 года назад

@nperson 3 года назад

I think cutting the rabbets on a router table would be much easier.

@stephenfishman4964 3 года назад

Did you use the rabbet bit to cut out the recesses in the top and bottom edges?

@billhandymanbill2775 3 года назад

Yes, he used the rabbeting bit for both cuts

@jack002tuber 3 года назад

There's another way similar to this I've seen, you build the box as you did here but with a big deep rabbit on the inside, then you cut off the top in just the right place and it makes a lid that fits on just as yours does here

@bobt2522 3 года назад

Great technique! I get confused easily, but were you feeding the router in the opposite direction from convention? Would that have aggravated the chip-out problem?

@jmckl123 3 года назад

He fed the router in the conventional (safer) way for an inside cut. It's safest to cut "pushing" the bit into the work. If he went the other direction, it would have been a climb-cut which indeed would reduce the chip-out, but is dangerous as the router would then want to grab and run away. As others noted, pre-scoring the cuts with a knife and/or using tape would help reduce the chip-out.

@bobt2522 3 года назад

@@jmckl123 Thanks for clarifying that. I can figure out which direction to feed the workpiece or move the router when I have my router in my hands, but it confused me to watch Colin make the cut.

@billhandymanbill2775 3 года назад

@@bobt2522 When using a hand held router, use the "Right Hand Method" where the thumb of the right hand is the router bit touching the wood and the right hand pointing finger is the direction of movement of the router. This method can be used on inside or outside cuts like Colin did in the video. This is the safe way to use a handheld router.

@davidkoziarz259 3 года назад

Where did you get that wooden watch?

@chrisstearns10 3 года назад

I made a box like in high school 20 years ago, still have it, this has been around for a long time.

@treowayne 3 года назад

All the blowout comes from doing all the routing cross-grain. If the grain was running horizontal (when the box is sitting in its normal orientation), all the routing would have come out cleaner, even on low-grade plywood.

@ronjohnstonaustralia2417 3 года назад

Should have routed it anticlockwise eh.

@jimthesoundman8641 3 года назад

Wow, Colin actually built something.

@steelsunpi 3 года назад

Neat concept. I'd be worried that if anything of weight was in the box though, it would pop out or break that thin bottom.

@ot9180 3 года назад

If there is a covid related defect in the joiner, how do we fix it? Grape juice?

@oldmarine312 3 года назад

How much of a weight reduction is this in reality? Seems to be a solution looking for a problem.

@OldManMontgomery 3 года назад

This does not seem to allow for any hinges. It is a removable lid (only) box. Unless that will be another video.

@johnthompson3462 3 года назад

as I started watching I thought I have to post a comment and say that you had one of the worse pieces of BB I have seen LOL but you beat me to it. I could tell by the inner layers. Hope you were nott charged for BB LOL

@kensayre6919 3 года назад

Interesting but too much work to make a box.

@riendekorte2217 3 года назад

@chrisgriffith1573 3 года назад

To find the EXACT radius of the bit in question, all you need do is take a small piece of the 1/4 ply you are using, and run out a 90 angle into the board with the router, then use it for a template to make your corner radius's.

@steveholloway738 2 года назад

You could try this general technique but instead of a rabbet for the lid, use a chamfer bit with a slightly undersized bearing, so you would have bothered a small lip and a bevel on the base piece. It would be just a bit more dressed up.

@daleweller5193 3 года назад

Why don’t you just chisel out the corners?

@mikesmicroshop4385 3 года назад

Not really a new design, it is usually done so that when you cut the lid from the bottom it is already rabbited correctly to fit. I have seen it several times in a few different books on making boxes. just as you have done it as well as the other way.

@k13ehr 3 года назад

I think the top of the box is really ugly, I would have squared the corners of the inner sides.

@sebastienboisvert8561 3 года назад

Could you use a chisel to square up the corners instead of rounding up the base?

@pierrerousseau8770 3 года назад

Collin why not just glue the door skin over the top of the box, it would save you the trouble of routing out the rabbet thereby saving time, also, it would look much neater as you wouldn't see the rounded corners that are exposed
