Wood block storage boxes—also called bandsaw boxes—are good practice projects, and the results make wonderful handmade gifts. They’re also a great way to use up those leftover pieces of wood from previous projects that are cluttering your workshop.

Ready to give it a try? Check out this easy-to-follow DIY reclaimed wood storage box tutorial from David at Man Made DIY. Beyond a bandsaw, you’ll also need a block of wood and some basic tools to get started, so you’ll definitely want to check the materials list to make sure you have everything you need on hand before you begin. If you don’t want to risk chipping your blade, make sure you remove any stray nails before you get started.
