The New Bandsaw Box Book: Techniques & Patterns for the Modern Woodworker

No woodworking project is more fun to make than a box.

Requiring little material and offering lots of challenges, making a wooden box results in a satisfyingly functional project that is proudly used and displayed or given as a gift that will be cherished for years. It’s no wonder boxes rank as the most popular woodworking project by beginners and advanced craftsman alike. David Picciuto is a huge fan of making boxes, especially with his trusty bandsaw. His Bandsaw Box YouTube videos and his Weekly Woodworking Round-up are must-see viewing among the woodworking community. In his first book, The New Bandsaw Box Book: Techniques and Patterns for the Modern Woodworker, David presents a collection of beautiful boxes that can be easily made with a bandsaw, considered by most woodworkers as the most important, versatile, and easy to use stationary tool in the workshop. Each project is captured in a modern and fresh step-by-step style that makes learning easy while David’s engaging manner keeps the information accessible and light. In keeping with the younger, artisan mindset that is infiltrating the woodworking community, David concludes with his “raises a glass” toast that matches the perfect craft beer to compliment the wood and style of each completed project.

 

 

YouTube personality David Picciuto, creator of MakeSomething.com, spent 10 years working for marketing agencies, designing and developing websites in Toledo, Ohio. Five years ago, in an effort to have his photography professionally framed for an art show, he was shocked at the cost and decided he could do it himself. David started watching woodworking shows on YouTube and never stopped. He never did make those picture frames but his life was changed. Now, David is a full-time online content creator, designing, creating and teaching the art of woodworking on his website. Incorporating his art, videography, and photography backgrounds, Picciuto teaches the beautiful craft of woodworking through information and inspiration while also providing a community platform for sharing projects and conversing with like-minded makers.
