Wow, there are a bazillion examples of bandsaw boxes on LumberJocks. I always thought they were complicated and had a hard time finding some really basic instruction. Well, here is a video for all of us bandsaw box newbies!
The neat thing about bandsaw boxes is that if you give them away as gifts, people will be amazed and wonder about your woodworking prowess. They will think you are a woodworking god! Little will they know that you are a Mere Mortal and these boxes are totally easy to crank out! You can build one in under two hours. If you glue it up with super glue, you can have one completed in 3o minutes!
very cool. Didn't think it was that easy. I don't have a band saw (yet) but wonder how hard it would be to use a coping saw. I'm starting to get more into the hand tools anyway.
Ok..Ok.. I will also try my first box. I refuse to hand sand, so I may wait for spindle sander. Almost bought one today…. should of. Thanks Steve. I also like a calmer Steve. Also no beer was drank in the making of this video? At least I didn't see any empties….. Good house keeping.
Thanks for the mention Steve! WOW! Now I'm famous!! LOL! I am glad to see the cedar going to good use. I knew you would do something nice with it! Keep up the good work!
Nice job on the box and the instructions. I didn't know how easy it is to hide the entry point. I'm used to scrollsawing and drilling a tiny starting hole since you can detach one end of the blade to start. Thanks for the fun video.
Steve, another great vid… showing how easy it is to do something most people feel is too complicated to try is a great thing to do.. I have been following your blogs and think that your out there style is very entertaining..
Scott.P. thanks for the referral and I am waiting to see what type of bandsaw box you make with the great big grissly of yours..

I always like your videos. Congrats on you first bandsaw boxes. Something you might want to try, if you only a 1/4: or less on your saw blade. Carter makes a guide system thats works great for doing great cuts for boxes. And you can get some real tight curves even with the 1/4: blade. I have one and love it.
Well made Steve both the video and the box. The Red cedar really did pop. Need to try some of these with laminating my own blocks. Going to keep playing with new ideas for these and will post some soon.
Yes, and if I can make mention: Cozmo35 is the guy who sent me the red cedar. Damn, I love this site…
Now go make boxes! Do it. Bandsaw boxes. You know you want to. Make one. A box. Make a cooler one than I did. Make a box…...
