Marty,
Thanks for sharing your techniques for making the small boxes. I especially like that you've made them for a distinctive purpose. Your attention to detail really comes through in the final product!
I recently acquired a Stanley 101 & 102 block plane from EBay, for $15 each. These are hammer adjusted planes, and I demonstrate the process on the 101.
Nice demo video, Marty. I have been using a hammer to adjust my 101 blade for a heavier cut, now I know I can use the hammer to lighten the cut as well. Thanks for sharing.
Nice Marty, from your previous videos I see you like to make small boxes. Sometimes making small things can be more satisfying than a large project…and it keeps the shop clean!
Here's a prototype box that I made from some leftover MDF baseboard. It has a lined interior with a lift out tray. It's a quick project that shows what can be done with scrap materials.
Thanks for doing these Marty. They are very inspiring. I have been reorganizing my workbench drawers by making small boxes for everything. I have some molding left over from my house that is just collecting dust, I might try this too. Thanks again
Here's an overview of a box just completed to hold one of my LED video lights. It's made from 1/2" Appleply plywood and hardboard, French fitted inside to hold the light and accessories.
Everything was cut on the table saw. The box sides are mitered, and the 1/8" hardboard liners are mitered. Only the liners were fine tuned with a hand plane.
Very nice box. How did you do the corners. Did you cut them on a table saw? Did you clean the corners up with a plane?
A super quick video that shows my 1/8" plywood storage box that holds the tools that came with my jointer. Secured to the jointer with rare earth magnets. I never have to wonder, "where did I put that wrench?"
