BEGINNER SERIES: Strong Lightweight Box (Yet another way to build a box)

I lo the technique you used to create the box. I haven't seen it use anywhere else but outside of using ca glue to eliminate the use of clamps, this is not a simple way of making a box for a beginner. I am a beginner and any build that uses a table saw, in my opinion isn't simple.

Thank you. Helpful

Very nice work u teach very professional and clear step by step. Thanks god blessing u

Would you be able to build this with a lid?

Im making an arcade stick so this video is exactly what I needed!

Never apologize for teaching specific information! It needs to be out there!

Hooooooo, original and Nevers Seen 🥺hooooooo....american ?

as a newbie, I would have liked to see clearly what you were doing instead of being told what you were doing.

I don't have the tools to make boxes like this but I need something exactly like this. How would I go about getting 6 of these made somewhere? What do I do?

Super helpful video!! Thanks for making this. Very informative

What kind of wood is that?

I build speaker boxes and need the lightest, strongest, material I can get at a good price. I'm currently using birch plywood and southern yellow pine, any recommendations appreciated 👍

Good morning Paw Paw. I enjoyed the video and I am attempting to make drawers in the same way.

Just a question for you regarding the router step. I tried this technique on my router and found that as the blade rotates anticlockwise at the table face. My approach was from right side of the cutter nearest the guide (as in the video) but the blade was pulling the stock through the cutter (rotating in same direction as direction of timber) and resulted in a very poor finish. I tried an approach from the left side of the blade so pushing timber into an oncoming blade, but that resulted in a poor outcome as the blade removed the timber from the guide side and the timber was shattering. I feel I should approach from the guide side into an oncoming blade, but my router table has a clear arrow crossed out suggesting "Not this way". Surely it depends on which side of the blade you pass your timber. I feel it should be into an oncoming cut somehow.

Hello enjoyed your video. thank you

Not beginner

If I did this but with Balsa wood to save weight, would it be strong enough to be useable? Also, what is the wieght and dimensions of the box you made here?

Based on the title of this channel, I will subscribe. 🫡

A very precarious way to route on the router table. You were routing in the counter direction with the workpiece between the fence and the bit.

Something like that would make good blanket boxes with a lid. Interesting take on the interior rails.

Just plain mitres and painters tape, then triangluar profile in the inside corners would be my way..it gives a larger glue surface area and no risky routing required... 🤔

Nice boxes tho !

Very nice job. An added touch might be to laser engrave an image on the box.

Hey Paw Paw (and that sounds funny to me, because growing up in eastern Kentucky, that's how I would address my own grandpa!). I had an idea for a thin-wall box, still on my list to try and fabricate, where instead of a supporting gusset, the edges are wide box-joint fingers (like 1 1/4" wide in 1/4" or less plywood), glued of course but also reinforced with 2 nails or dowels going through each finger into the corresponding space in the other panel. The 'dowels' I had in mind for the thin material was actually 1/8" bamboo skewers.

Since the direction of these pins would be 90 degrees to those going through the adjacent fingers from the other panel, this would provide strength in both directions. In other words, the left panel couldn't pull away from the right because the pins going through the right fingers into the left spaces hold it in place. And likewise the same concept preventing the right panel fingers from pulling out of the left's spaces.

The application I had in mind for this was those boxes you stand up a bunch of magazines in, like a fat cereal box where one of the top corners was cut off at an angle (usually made from plastic, and not something you'd want gussets in the inside corners causing a space around the magazines). So you could have a line of these boxes on a shelf holding all your woodworking magazines, and could orient the boxes either with the tall side out and a label on it, or the side with the cut-off corner out, showing the magazine spines with their names and dates.

I have no video skills of my own (not to mention lighting, editing software, etc.), nor really any desire currently to work all that out. But if you see merit in the design I've described, and mostly in the strength of that wide-fingered box joint, I'd love to see your execution of it. I just thought it would be a good tough joint for having a lot of weight on it, like a stack of heavy magazines. What do you think?

Nice work, love the plywood too. Great grain patterns. What is the composition of it? You could reinforce the top edge with flat strips and it will have enough material to roundover. Giving a smooth edge as square plywood will splinter quite easily

☺👍👍👍👌

hello uncle, have a nice day

Great project and video.
Cheers from London England 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Shoot sir i had been using that gluing tip for years in building models for my model Railroad, didn't know it was so widely known???
