How to Build a Simple Dovetailed Box | Paul Sellers

Drawings and cutting list are here: https://paulsellers.com/simple-doveta...

To make a box from beginning to end and end with a superb result is usually the dream of every new woodworker. We combined the art of woodworking with superb no-frills videography to present a box-making video that takes out the guesswork and inspires you to make your heirloom box.

Though it is lovely to look at, it's far from complicated as we take you step by step through the traditions of dovetailing and box-making. No noise, no fuss, just, complete clarity using a handful of common hand tools.

Almost any wood will work: choose something straight-grained and knot-free to keep things simple. The box is a new design for everyone to learn boxmaking from, so you cannot have seen this elsewhere, and several unique nuances will open your eyes to creating something very special!
