As a whittler myself for over 25 yrs I have done many different carving projects from chains from one piece of wood, to caged balls to a ball within a ball but i havent done this project.....yet. Thanks for the video.

If you're willing to destroy a forstner bit you can grind off the pilot point after starting the holes and not end up with pilot holes in the inner cube.

Very nice.
If I may give you an idea: the inner cube look like a dice for me. It may be a good idea to drill more holes on it sides to make it look like a real dice. In addition, it would disguise the little hole left by the mill cutter.
Continue the good work!

I was a tool and die maker for 10 years. I made a set of five of these out of aluminum. before I cut the square out in side I drilled holes or dots on the inside square like a dice. I also rounded the corners of the outer square so they would roll a little better. now they are like playing a game. great job with the wood.

Looks good. I think if you stained the block inside a different colour, it would show off better because of the contrast and some people may even believe it was a different wood on the inside...

Be careful with that chisel brother, and thanks for the video. :)

I just made one of these with our old heavy duty drill press. I took a few pictures too but they may not be the best quality. I'll add them if I figure out how, I'm not the best with computers. Also, I avoided potentially cracking the wood by using a dremel to cut out the center cube. I'll probably still do a bit more fine tuning to it. Great video! :D

for sure great. and for the kids ~~you~~ will be the greatest dad they can boost about in school!

If you put a little plastic bag around the inside cube, you can get 2 different colors

I use corner molding to wedge in holding the corner of the cube in place while I sand the corners…AWESOME VIDEO…Thanks.!!!!

You could use carborundum fingernail files to get in there and smooth of the corners of your inner 'box' for ease of use. Better yet, make your own by gluing sand paper of different grit onto different sized pieces of thin ply :))

Very cool! For sanding the inner cube, an emory board (or sandpaper glued to a popsicle stick for more strength) would do the job nicely. Just trace, cut and glue.

@MrHoeZayy 13 years ago

that would be so cool if you could make another smaller cube inside the smaller one while it was still connected

@Hrackoe 10 years ago

Nice job. For future reference scroll saws have a "blade" that's actually a sanding pad that would work wonders on sanding inside of there. I'm gonna make one of those now. Thanks for posting this.

Best wood turnning class ever

@srsd68 11 years ago

That is so very cool. You could use a sanding bit on a dremal. Using the hand wand would help get into the small spaces.

@chemicaljonez 10 years ago

you could clean it up a lot easier using a dremel. Very handy thing to have.

@RockCowles 10 years ago

How about using disposable nail files for sanding the inside box? Filling the drill holes on the inner cube with wood putty and staining them would make the former holes look decorative.
