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

I’ve made 5 of the boxes so far. Wish the instructions were more in depth…

This book is an inspiration to go out and make something. Stay safe.

Clear, simple instructions. You can download full sized templates from the author's website. There are also video tutorials.

This an awesome book with step by step how to. The templates are easy to follow and the pictures for the how to make it so easy to follow. Can’t wait to get started!

If you know the work of David Picciuto (a.n.a. the Drunken Woodworker) then you will already know the quality and care that goes into his projects (and his irreverent manner). If you've just come across this book ...welcome to the Drunken Woodworkers Universe.Passion for design and the joy of making something by hand are, I think, hallmarks of David's work. This book is crafted with the same attention to detail, wonder of design and joy of handcrafting.Instructions are clear, simple and well laid out with ample photos of the process and finished project. The designs are definitely a new direction in Bandsaw Box making. The use of combining different timbers, including ply wood adds to the aesthetic simplicity. If you are new to woodworking or more experienced there is something here for you. Sure some experience and knowledge of band saws is assumed but chances are you don't have one without first getting to know the basics of set up and use. The easier projects presented in David's new book will be great ways of developing band saw technique; the other projects may cause some trepidation but its about the process and the experience; the learning and pushing of individual style and design. The inclusion of photos, from some of the Drunken Woodworkers followers, in the Gallery at the back of the book demonstrates to some extent the impact of David's designs.If you're into woodwork this is a must buy. If you know someone who is into woodwork this will make a great gift. If you're not into woodwork buy this book and let it inspire you to make something.

very detailed and nice presentation

Liked everything. Built all the boxes at least once.

It’s creative, easy to understand, and inspiring. David did a great job with this one

My Wife bought this book for my Birthday. I think it was intended to keep me from under her feet and it has worked, to the extent of my buying a new bandsaw and spending most of my days playing in the shed. The instructions and templates are easy to follow and you can either photocopy them from the book or follow the weblink and download them free. My first attempt was a bit of a disaster but it was scrap wood and I had loads of fun doing it. I would recommend this book wholeheartedly to anyone.The beverages mentioned in the book are a little difficult to obtain in England, but as the man says. "celebrate with the tipple of your choice". I am teetotal, so mines a coffee thank you very much.

This is quite a useful book for anyone starting out on bandsaw boxes, with reasonable range of not too complex projects. The notes at the end of each section relating to alcoholic beverages are entertaining, but as they are about drinks in America, they're not immediately relevant to a British reader. The book is well illustrated and the photographs clearly show the stages, but like another similar book I bought, once you've been though the procedure a couple of times, it's not necessary to have it set out in such detail another 6. The space saved could have been used to add another 1 or 2 (perhaps more advanced) projects.

Excellent book. Full of ideas and templates to download. Very pleased

We love this book! Super photos of lovely boxes - simple instructions which make the construction of these boxes a relatively easy task provided you have the tools! I thoroughly enjoyed browsing through it and have now begun to plan my first box! Even if you don't ever make a box, the book is a delightful read.

Never made a Bandsaw box before, after reading this book I have now made five and found it a lot easier than I thought. Deffinately worth getting.
