In this week’s video, I built a modern blanket chest or, what we’re going to be using it for, a toy box. The piece is constructed from solid Red Oak and Poplar but was built using approachable techniques, no table saw required! Hope y’all enjoy this one.

Hey buddy, what is that safety strut you used called? I just built a toy box myself and was wondering what that was called
Surprised that’s red oak from the thumbnail. Looks 🔥
Can I use pine? Or some plywood (that might make it heavy though)!

Great project!
Just the hinges alone cost more then $50 bucks… u can buy a nice wooden chest aready made with leather top for under $50. Hmmmm no thanks
Hi
Its a nice toy box. Pls give me your buying link.
Can you ship to India.?
Great video, and SMART ADVERTISING!!! Perfect little box in the corner , while Not interuppting the video and gaurenteeing it doesn’t get fast forwarded. Very smart
Great cabinet. Great build.
It’s not a big deal in the slightest, but you can hide half the base- rail pocket holes by orienting them upward. The cabinet itself will hide them.
I appreciate both your work and product values of your channel. Thanks for the effort and for sharing your craft with us!
I like how at 3:53 it looks like you cut the Kregg Accu-Cut but didn’t address how or why it happened LOL.
Skips too many steps for this to be a DIY
The Douper gas supports is too much support…the lid won’t stay shut, just pops back up, any suggestions?
Looks great!
Could you share the clamps link you used in your video at 1:30 ? @Crafted Workshop
can this be donw without a biscuit joiner?
I’d skip the blankets and just store a few turkey sandwiches in there 🙂
Very nice.
Beautiful! Great lid that stays open imgs.love/HTrunks perfect for my witchy stuff to keep from prying eyes of people that may be offended or freaked out by my practice. My friend got this for me as a surprise for all my stuff and I was thrilled! Love it. Pretty roomy, too!
although i do not do alot of wood working myself, i find your videos very relaxing to watch. thank you
What bit did you use in the router? Nice video. Love the stain.
Come on be honest. Do you really use that saw guide?
👍👍👍
Biscuits? Carcass? Rabbits? What?! Apparently wood working has its own language 😂
Is there a drawing or a lumber list with sizes?
Tons of sophisticated tools are needed to diy 🙁
How long will this last with no joinery or screws? Is the glue alone enough for lifetime? I like the easy of the build but want one to last
“When the only tool you have is a hammer 🔨🔨
you tend to see every problem as a nail.”
Did you cut the plastic on circular saw track? 3:55
Great project……….. What type of claps are they…..? wouldn’t mind buying some……. 🙂
@ 3:54 sup with all that blue plastic? Looks like you had two guides put together, but the edge guide on one was further out than the other one. That normal? Like do you cut them to precision on first use or something?
Very nice job… the rabbet joint was a great choice.
Way too expensive but great work
3:54 Blue sawdust? What happened?
Clamp Champ! Haha, if you got ’em…use ’em. Way to make red oak look good, love it.
My favourite builder. Always produce super neat stuffs!
Best way I’ve seen in a long time to include a sponsor in a video. Non intrusive and didn’t feel like it took away from the video. Well done.
Johnny Squat!
Is it possible to make the chest with out the legs? Because I don’t think I have enough wood to make the legs I might substitute red oak for popler wood because mine is a beginner project I also wanted to make it because I was looking on Amazon for blanket boxes and blanket baskets and I couldn’t find anything that I liked so imma make one my self not only do I want to do set design but I also love woodworking And making something of my own because it’s great to have something you made it’s Awesome but but also when you are a woodworking inthusiast keep in mind that your work table won’t always be clean because you are creative and you don’t sit around and watch tv all day that’s boring unless you are a tim burton nightmare before Christmas geek that’s me I am a goth person but I definitely love woodworking Shakespeare theater 🎭 and just Theatre goth in general Especially Hamlet that’s hardcore theatre goth but I also love unicorns🦄 mermaids ☠️pirates and ships in general I live in San Diego so ships are a big thing because we have the maritime museum they also have ships that are so historical they are chalk full of ghosts 💀
thanks uncle, I make it for little daughter, nice
Your wife is a lucky lady! Your honey-do list must be a mile long. 😂
“Projects you don’t have to have a ton of tools for”
??????????
You have all the tools!!!!
we dont have those tools bro….
I think the strain choice killed it but overall beautiful build
Great project! Quick question. You like the poplar 2x2s because they are square rather rounded at the corners. Then you chamfer and sand the corners. Doesn’t that end up the same? Thanks!
lovely box, I want make it, thanks your video
You guys make it look sooo easy! I can never seem to get things perfectly square which throws off everything. Great storage chest! Thanks for the video! BE SAFE,GOD BLESS!🇺🇸🙏❤
I love woodworking because I love the smell of wood and I love the contact and it’s more relaxing then sewing I tried sewing, it just didn’t work for me because making something according to a pattern was really hard for me and stressful I love the Smell of Wood so much I wear a purfume that smells identical to ceder or pine even though it’s a floral fragrence it smells completely the opposite but I only wear that certain purfume because floral Scents give me head aches but I have never liked them anyway they are just not my jam I like Coco EDP because it makes me feel like a lady also drinking tea makes me feel like a classy woman even though I am 13 years old LOL 😂 but I also like it because it adds a touch of elegance but masculine also because woody fragrances are very masculine and I like to also feel masculine because when you do woodworking you use power tools and you have to be really strong to use those because those things have force but just that contact can take all your worries and cares away it just feels good and I sholding something that you made Is just cool in general it’s a shame that woodworking is too underrated because if you just try it it might turn out to be your favorite hobby and I think that more women should do woodworking also it doesn’t have to be for guys in fact a lot of guys in courage women to do woodworking

What clamps are those please?
