Hi, I'm a home garage woodworker who just wants to share what i do with anyone who's interested. I like to reuse, recycle and repurpose where i can, i'm not a professional and don't have the best and priciest tools either and i want to show my audience that a hobby woodworker can achieve great things by having a passion for what they do and getting the best out of what they have.
Cheers

A very special box build with some amazing grain
This box was for a life-long friend to put her husband's ashes into. The request was to have a lid on the box that could be opened. The box is made from reclaimed Australian hardwoods and the lid insert is Camphor Laurel.

came to look at the tutorial but had 8 unskippable ads within 2 minutes, so I left without getting the information I was looking for, too bad... It looked like an amazing video
@@invn8 sorry about that mate, that must have been a YT thing, I’ve never had anyone else comment with the same issue
How can you plane down from 11 mm to 15 mm amazing
🤣 it’s just magic I suppose
Mate, impressive build :)
Thank you very much
Jarrah???? Really??? What a shame to use it here, such a beautiful wood.......
I have lots of it, trying to use it up 😂
@@DownUnderWoodWorks wow, I wish....
Absolutely beautiful work. Thanks very much for taking the time to make videos. I inherited a really simple and really effective picture-frame clamp I bet you've seen, just some threaded rod and 4 L-shaped blocks. It changed picture-frame clamping for me from highly stressful to the easiest part of the job. It's a simple design that if I had ever thought of it I could have made myself I'm sure. It can be extended with more threaded rod and coupler nuts to make it fit huge frames. You can see a current idea of one if you search "Garrett Wade Frame Clamp." Would be fun to make I bet!
Thanks very much Charles. Yes, I think I know the clamp you refer to but I will definitely do a search for it 👍🏼
Amazing solution you saved me from buying one
Glad I could help mate 👍🏼
Nice build, I need something like this.
Thank you very much
The wood was so beautiful and precious, why did you get rid of that beautiful colour, now it looks nothing like it.
Because that's what the client wanted, and they loved the finished product.
First time in a long time I've noticed and sped up footage in a DUWW video. All for a good cause ❤
@@FixitFingers haha, I was wondering if you were going to pick up on that mate. Just trying something new and different but I am trying to keep it to a minimum 👍🏼 Thanks James
Here it is 2024. Just bought a bench saw, SB12, so a handy video. 😮😊 Oh, A$1575.00 delivered to Rockhampton.😢😊
Hey Mark, glad the video was helpful. This has been a great saw for me hence why I kept it when I upgraded to the slider. 👍🏼
Instructions...chuck 'em in the shit bin. Ken Useless.
Brilliant
Thank you
What size of ur 2 pcs pambelt sir may i know..thanks
Are you asking about the drive belts? I replaced them many years ago so don’t remember but I think I searched for a copy of the manual/parts list for the drill
👎👎👎Shorts? No Thanks! 👎👎👎
No worries 😌
Old wood for an old friend. 👍
Yes mate, I like to reuse and recycle where I can. Old reclaimed timber is so nice too
I have a question: if I were to use metal instead of wood for the legs , how do I prevent the table from wobbling ? I’m using a single slab of 4mm wood 80 x 80 with the same style legs
Those measurements don’t seem to be correct. Maybe a typo? 4mm wood??
@@DownUnderWoodWorks yes my apologies 4cm wood !!!
Has he actually done this before, or does he just not have a clue? You can buy proper corner clamps, or just use them sensibly in pairs end to end and side to side.
@@edeledeledel5490 Yeah, probably his first time. He should watch more woodworking videos
@@DownUnderWoodWorks I like watching them; but many of them involve about $30,000 worth of high tech saws, drills, planers, etc.
use a band clamp with 4 corner fittings.
@@steveh8724 Thanks for the advice 👍🏼
As you’re glueing opposite 45s into a square you can actually just use 2 clamps (although 4 is recommended), corner clamps aren’t necessary here 🫡
@@kingdan5976 Thanks for the advice
2 long one side, 2 short the opposite side and you don’t need corner clamps 👍
@@opcptyltd509 Yes, for doweled mitres. I said that in the video
Settle down mate 😂 you’ve got dowels or domino’s there so why not do that then?
Mad as a cut snake!@@opcptyltd509
So you glued it all together instead🤣🤣🤣
Yes 👍🏼
I made a box for my husband’s ashes. Emotional journey but well worth it.
@@jennybarnes4806 That would have been a very special build
I commented 😊
@@JiyanMajithiya_the_Great Thanks
Fantastic review! Your video helped me understand how to change the fence to use it for my table saw after I thought I had purchased the wrong thing. Thanks so much. 👍
Glad it was helpful for you 👍🏼
Excellent tutorial. Love the masking tape trick. Very clever. Would love to try making frames for my paintings but I don't have a proper saw. Could you suggest a suitable budget electric saw that would cut 45° angles mitre cuts and is easy to use? I can't manage a hand saw as I don't have enough strength in my arms.
Thank you. My suggestion would be a cheap mitre saw. It’s hard to recommend one because I don’t use a mitre saw but I would suggest looking at a Ryobi. They make great tools for the price and are targeted at DIYers.
Jobs like these are a labour of love that you do to respect your friend. Great work. Respect to you for a beautiful project
Thank you very much
Wow Vic. So beautiful. You're a great friend. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome and thank you very much
Beautiful work as always Vic! One of these daysI'm going to send you one of my dovetail walnut keepsake boxes. Thanks for sharing!
Hey thanks Rich. That’s very generous of you mate but it’s more than enough that you watch my videos and enjoy them 👍🏼
No concerns about wood movement in the lid Vic? I mitred a piece in a similar fashion and it moved a mm and caused me grief.
@@mrboics no not really mate. I’ve never had that issue with any of my builds and particularly in pieces that small (I think it’s more of a problem for northern hemisphere makers who have scared the rest of into thinking it’s a huge issue) 😂
Interesting. I'm based in Melbourne and a 35cm wide piece of pine move quite a bit for me. It may have been poorly dried in the first place though..? I rebuilt the piece and it's now a loose panel within a mitre. Don't take my word though, I'm pretty inexperienced compared to you!
Great Video and thanks for posting, people don’t realise the time it take to prepare timber for the build, I know I am surprised by how long it takes me and it was great to see how you go about it. I love repurposing old timber and giving it a new life. Very beautiful box by the way, great mitres and a great hinge fit!, I do have a question being unfamiliar with lasers - I have a small cnc machine where I need to clamp down the wood to ensure stability during the cut, but did I see right that when using a laser there is no need to clamp down your project? Many thanks Brenton
Thanks very much Brenton, the amount of work that goes into making something is rarely evident in the finished piece. Yes, when engraving with a laser the piece doesn’t need to be fixed down because nothing is actually touching the piece other than the laser beam. Sometimes when cutting components out it may be necessary to hold things down, just depends on the task and material though.
Gday Vic, I think you can absolutely relax, because that box come out looking amazing. Thanks for sharing mate. PS its good to have to table saws!
Thanks very much Vipun, glad you liked it. Yes, it is pretty good having the two table saws as I found out during this build. I always envisaged the second saw would come in handy for box making 👍
Quality work as always! That Camphor Laurel is gorgeous! Vic, how did you determine the size for the box? I have given some thought to making a couple of these for my wife and myself. Of course, I am in no hurry to use them!! Thanks Vic,
Thanks mate, that lid came out awesome and it wasn’t until I waxed it that I saw it myself. The dimensions for the box were given to me by our friend, they were based around the ashes container that is given to the next of kin by the crematorium and she wanted to add a few of his small personal things in there too.
Magnifique boîte et très beau travail ❤
Thank you very much 😊
Advanced thinking is what it's all about. Brilliant idea . From the UK
Thanks mate, glad you liked it 👍🏼
You truly beautiful work, Vic.
Thank you very much mate 👍🏼
What a bloody ripper box Vic, absolutely love the way you go about building, whether it be a table or box or refurbishment of a letter box. A joy to watch mate cheers.
Thank you very much Ned, it’s so good to get comments like yours 😊
Your wood selections were the perfect choices for the box. A beautiful box for your friends remains. Very well done.
Thank you very much 😊
Beautiful tribute to your friend. Nice save using the dowels.
Thank you. I initially used the dowels to counter any movement in the insert (although I really don’t think that’s an issue) and they ended up saving my butt 👍🏼
Excellent effort Vic, done your mate proud.
Much appreciated Stewart, thanks
It's absolutely beautiful. I'm certain Mark will be so much happier now surrounded by this beautiful wood. It's so nice. Thank you so very much Vic you are super talented and very generous.
No problem at all, just so happy that you love it
That is just so pretty. That grain is beautiful. Great work once again
Yeah, It really surprised me after I waxed it. Thank you very much!
There's almost a spacey stereo effect on that lid. It's surreal.
I know mate, I can’t stop looking at it in the video
@@DownUnderWoodWorks 😀
Beautiful box mate. Love the new workshop setup
Thanks very much mate. The new workshop layout is so good now
Beautiful box, and stunning insert. I'm a bit perplexed 🤔. I made a fancy box for my Dads ashes, but once installed, I glued it up. What is the purpose of the finger slot?
Thanks mate. The owner specifically wanted the lid to be able to open so it wasn’t made as a traditional urn that gets sealed up
Well done, came together so precisely and looks just beautiful. 👍
Thanks very much Mario, I’m really pleased with it
Very nice work
Thank you very much 😊
Excellent wood working and I love the timber contrasts.
Thanks very much Edward, amazing what a few spare unused boards can look like 👍🏼
Lovely work, you’ve done your friend proud.
Thank you kindly
An outstanding piece of work. Beautiful wood. I'm sure your friend will be pleased. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Same to you Glen and thank you very much!
Excellent video. Love the detail in the box lid. Another winner, Vic. 👍
Thanks mate, the lid even impressed me on this one
