Wooden Keepsake Boxes Made From Scraps

I made a batch of wooden boxes/keepsakes to sell on my Etsy shop (https://www.etsy.com/listing/688815538/wooden-box-keepsake-box-wooden-keepsake). I only used scraps I had around: a few boards of obeche, a lamination of birch slats I had made previously, and some thin strips of mahogany. The bottoms are poplar plywood. The initial milling was a bit of a chore, but the resulting material was good and I got five boxes out of it. I decided to only use the table saw for the entire process (well, except planing and sanding), because I wanted to put my new Bosch GTS 10 J to the test (result: very accurate and quick). Some of the cuts I show in this video aren't particularly safe, but I was very aware of what I was doing and where my hands were. Remember: YOU are responsible for YOUR OWN safety. #woodenbox #keepsake #keepsakebox #diykeepsake
