Box Beginnings part 2

As I made more boxes and had increasing numbers of willing recipients, it kept getting suggested that i sell my boxes. This is where i find myself now. im more or less done making these boxes as gifts so its time to try and market a product! (talk about cheapening something) anyway its really quite therapeutic for me to build these boxes and so if i can maintain this expensive habit by selling some boxes, it will allow me to keep supplied with fresh exotic hardwoods and sharp blades.

to that end, i have finally engaged with social media, https://www.facebook.com/stewart.gaskin.1

and  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZ6UlnGwAuFBsHpQLta2URA

below are the videos i posted these past few days...

this was my first. i just liked the idea of showing a block of wood morphing into a beautiful box. this box is for my aunt who will be collecting in person this saturday :)

I plan to make boxes for certain times of year, for example, below is a heart shaped box i finished today. (its design needs a few tweaks but  looks nice)

the format i plan to do for a time is to make a video like this, kind of like a product display. and then follow up with a build video, kind of a step by step how to. we shall see. example below...

If you are interested, feel free to subscribe to my youtube channel and follow me here on blogger. i will update throughout the year. i plan to comment on things pertaining to my builds that i dont get to mention in the videos, so check back when i load a new video.
