hey guys for Evan and Katelyn and today
we're gonna be making a box for this
knife that we made this is the box
Thank You Skillshare for sponsoring this
video this is the knife that we made
with Alec Steele and we're gonna have a
playlist down below with all the videos
in the series and for the box we wanted
to experiment with some new materials
and make a few extras for our friends we
designed it in fusion and our Twitch
followers suggested 3d printing a
prototype first feels pretty secure it looks cool
this will be held together by hinges and
magnets we tested the magnets first so I
have a test for you to do try opening the box i added magnets
oh my gosh. hahahaha. ahhh! I think we might need smaller magnets! I'll print a little test thing not the full thing
when we're working with magnets we put marks on the
sides that are attracted to each other
so we don't glue them the wrong way
gotta clean out those holes a little bit
i don't know if this is a good idea or not this is the
first time I've ever used an end mill in a drill
oh yeah they're attracted to each other but
you can open them another thing that we
should test before we do anything more
these cool hinges we got from Rockler
they're so tiny and they have this like 180 degree
pivot yeah right there see them a little
bit proud I don't want to force this so
we know what magnets to use and we know
that we need to make the holes for our 
hinges a little bit deeper so we'll go
ahead and revised the model generate the
tool pass and get carving the t-track
clamping system we installed on our CNC
was a huge help during this project
we'll have a link to it up in the corner
next we cut out our pieces and rounded
over the outer edge on our router table
Oh like a little sandwich so tiny bit of a gap and
there's tiny cracks oh no we're gonna
make the holes for the hinges a little
bit deeper and a little bit wider I
don't know if this recommended but it
works oh that's so much better
so what these are doing is they are
expanding and that holds it in place so
cool very fancy
magnets. looks good? so at this point we
have a totally functional awesome little
box but we're gonna take it one step
further by doing some engraving on here
and we're gonna make a fixture to help
at this point we learned two things one
I'm a derpus because I didn't tighten the
clamps enough
and two our jig needed some added
friction to hold on to the piece better
so we're going to go ahead and add
sandpaper which will hold it even
tighter
how confident are you
since everything seems to be working
we're gonna try some fancy materials
like acrylic and fancy wood
so we just got back from Maker Faire and
gave these to a bunch of our friends and
one of the benefits of having maker
friends as they told us that we could
actually fire the acrylic to polish it
up okay so you can see how it's kind of
cloudy where we carved it out
we tried sanding it but you just can't
stand it smooth enough let's see if the
flamey flame okay think I wanna remove this
from the box because this can be really hot
oh oh there's a clear patch right
there clearish I feel like it shouldn't be catching on fire. this is fun!
so all we're gonna be able to get from this
I actually pushed it too far it did
catch on fire it caught on fire and it
rounded over some of the edges and
stuff what have more flames fixes it
it no no no I think we should call it so in short the
propane worked it is polished there's a
few little issues propane isn't hot
enough to just melt the outside layer it
ends up melting the whole thing is and
that's not ideal so a hotter gas would
be best
this is really satisfying I'm so
happy with how this project turned out
so thanks again to Skillshare for
supporting us and making it possible to
bring you all this video they have over
19,000 courses ranging from videography
to editing to 3d modeling which we get a
lot of questions about we designed this
knife box even the knife itself in
fusion 360 and even though the final box
was cnc'd all of the prototyping was
done using 3d printing there's an
awesome fusion 360 course focused on 3d
printing on Skillshare you'll learn all
the basics you need to get started

Katelyn bye man ahh should we just redo the whole thing one
more time lets do the whole thing one more time
sorry snotty nose allergies. boogers. both of those. that was so close to my face! Think about my eyebrows!
