Making a Tool Box With My Daughter – Hand Tool Woodworking With Kids
my daughter (7 years old) made a tool box with all hand tools including the carving on the front in red oak. This was a great woodworking project to do with kids and teach about tools and how to use them. it includes how to use a hand saw, Howto use a Brace and bit, How-to use a hand plane and other hand tool skills.if a 7-year-old can carve and build this tool box so can you and your kid!

great job for a begginer! It should be great fun for you two working together! I wish my daugther build something with me!
Looking good, plus you got some father and daughter time ππ»ππ»ππ»
So much fun to do stuff with our kids in the shop
This is great. Sheβs adorable.
MAN WOW! look at her go… she is really coming along, like seriously! good job Daddio!
THIS IS GREAT. So cute man & good bonding.
Too cute for words!!!
Memories of 2 little boys building a dinning room table! π
This is so awesome! Just saw this and the video on you daughter’s channel about this as well and it seems like she is interested and enjoys learning this craft, it’s so cool that this is something you can share with your daughter.
Also love the fact that you have plans for this, this seems like it could easily be modfied with higher sides and dividers to become a beverage tote, I was looking for plans to build one for a friend who likes to have BBQ’s when the weather is nice so might just use this plan and modify it for that.
Hi I think she is a little better than you at carving, she will need her own tools now to use. I think her next project should be a step stool so she can reach the bench that chair is was standing on was a bit wobbly, then look out because she will be using your bench when you want to and you may even need a new shop for yourself. it is great that kids take an interest in woodworking.
Very cool project and time well spent together! Melody sure seems to have a gift and she really seems to enjoy it.
I can still remember my Dad teaching me how to saw a piece of wood for the first time! Now he’s not around anymore but learning to use all his old hand tools is a good feeling π
Made by a 7 Yr old?? …..that does it, I’m chucking out all my tools before I embarrass myself any further.π
I totally enjoyed this video! I would love to see more like this. You guys look like you had so much fun and created memories that will last a lifetime! Awesome job Melody!
I built one like that about a million years ago. I still use it for fasteners. Come to think of it, I could likely use another one.
Exactly what I’ve been looking for, thanks!
This was a great video James it really inspired me to give it a go with my kids. They are a little younger than Melody so they needed more help from dad but the two we made turned out alright and they were really pumped to put their toys in something they made so Thank you. Keep on doing what your doing.
You must be very proud, looks like she is having the time of her life bravo Dad.
Hey Melody, i watched yout cool video with my son Julius (10)! Nice work! Happy Seasons Greetings from Wuerzburg, Germany! π
That’s one great looking tool box, thumbs up Melody.
Fantastic James! Love seeing kids in the shop learning skills!
I agree(about being a good dad; father goose). cheers rr
Wonderful. Keep it up, Melody. Very best wishes to you both!
So sweet
WOW MY SURNAME IS WRIGHT!!
Good video and good work! My children also started playing in a wood workshop, and now they work with me on equal terms. My daughter is a carpenter.
Great to see a young person learning… on the safety side turn the chair backwards so if she steps back she can easily step off the chair and not get her legs caught on the chair and fall back…. just a thought… great video
great job!
Love THIS! in getting your kids into woodworking.
I will always "like" videos bringing kids into the shop and teaching skills for their lifetime.
Great project. Way to go Melody! A real "chip off the old block". You’ve got a terrific Dad there…………….
I won’t even watch this video. I have watched it on your daughter’s channel! π
awesome lol thank you very much
How wonderful to see you two work together and your boy is coming along to by the look of it. Well done Melody! And well done Dad!
This is really nice seeing. Great video. My son’s 4 and built him a work bench and with a vice from a car jack. Planning many projects with him. Thanks for this vid.
James, You are a VERY lucky man! But I think you know that….Ernie
What tools would you suggest getting for my 11 year old son to start woodworking? I would really like to set him up a work shop in our garage as a Christmas gift. But I would love to know the must haves for woodworking
Great job Melody that turned out beautiful I subscribed good luck girl.
Finally a chance for someone to use a number one plane.
Excellent, we’ll done melody…
Cheers…
SO AWESOME!!! love the fact that you are getting your kids into it and teaching them proper techniques! I think you, and Melody, are role models for us all! Thanks for all that you do.
That’s awesome, James. Looks like she is learning quickly. I am going to share this in our email newsletter with full credit to you.
Well done, Dad π
She’s very lucky, great dad !!!
Adorable. π
It’s a very good movie. It is a safe drill for children.
By the way your watch is cool. Please tell me what kind of brand watch.
Bravo!
That’s awesome, good job guy’s! ππππΌππΌππΌ
Good job Melody! You are much better with hand tools than I am and I’ve been trying for years. Keep up the good work!
Hi James,
Please let Melody know that my 6-year old daughter, Rika, and I watched her video about the Thanksgiving sandwiches. We had a lot of fun making them, and we painted the middle slice yellow for cheese, pink for ham, green for lettuce and brown for chocolate. She has a toy cafe, so now sandwiches are on the menu.
She enjoyed making something with wood, so next, we’ll make her toolbox.
Thank you.
Paul and Rika Moritoshi
Great Video Maleny. Who’s that big ugly guy that kept getting in the way???…. Start them Young James. π
