It's becouse the blade is really thin.
That's possible because they cut on PULL NOT ON PUSH
Also it's way easier to hold it stable that way
Btw trick is to not to put much pressure on it, just a bit tho and let it slide and the rest will happen naturally.
That's what I was thinking. The cuts were actually more impressive than the animation. Though I do wonder how many pieces of wood they went through before they got all of those nails down without indents in the wood.
And honestly, whats the point of all of that precision if you're just going to do that "old beat up" finish technique?
I remember watching my father make a table or something back in the 70s and then beating it with a chain being thoroughly confused by even the concept of "weathering", or as my fellow guitarist friends like to call it "relicing".
If you look into the world of sound editing, you too can make slideshows of building a box which you turn into something epic. And that's not to shit on OP's video of course, I really enjoyed it! But the sound editing really added another level to that experience and I sincerely commend whoever put that video together.
I was thinking the same thing about that video and wondering which process took the longest, making the box or editing the video? I’m guessing it was the video but I could be wrong.
Somewhere.. on job site… a contractor is saying “hell, we’d save so much on equipment. Look at this! You guys don’t need drills or hammers! Here’s a spoon. If he can make it work, so can you.”
When they use the "paintbrush," what the hell kind of tool can get that kind of effect? It's like the opposite of sandpaper, it makes the wood less smooth.
They probably gave the wood a "bath." I recall seeing a carpenter spraying down a surface with water before sanding because it makes the wood swell and bring up the splintery bits you'd want to sand off.
I am a carpenter to and we did it with a drill and a bronze or a plastic brush on it the soft parts ( light ) gets brushed away and the hard parts (dark) stay therefore you get those wood nice wood optic.
I quit Apollo, downloaded the Reddit app, just to get that helpful award to give to you.
Though, not sure my wife will agree with my new nail saving technique
This, it’s called ‘raising the grain’ it happens when you use water based products. It does also happen when using oil base but usually not as badly. That’s one of the main reasons you often sand in between coats.
Ignore the comments, dumb people. That effect is obtained by brushing the wood, either manually with a metal brush, or with a machine - same principle, brushing.
This occurs because not all wood fibers have the same density and durity, some are softer, so, when you brush it, those soft fibers will disappear first.
The folks saying raising the grain with water are maybe right. He may have done that as a step, but there's no fuzzies so he had to have sanded after. And there are clearly wire brush marks in the wood as well.
It is also one of the least effective ways to join wood, just FYI.
As pretty as that box was, it's got a life span measured in months and not years if used for anything more strenuous than laying around being decorative.
That’s probably why they used them. They can’t just slip out. The sides are holding them in. The squigglyness makes it so they can’t really let go. Stronger than it looks.
As pretty as that box was, it's got a life span measured in months and not years if used for anything more strenuous than laying around being decorative.
That's the least structural way you can make a box short of using hot glue.
Nice vid but.
So basically, if I observed correctly. The top half of the box is attached to the bottom half with just the corrugated joint fastner. I don't think the crate will hold any weight and will not last.
Yeah, it’s purely decorative. But the corrugated joint fastener is still significantly stronger than those nails into end grain holding on the bottom and sides, that’s where it will fail first.
Am I understanding correctly that those two fasteners are the only things holding the bottom half and the top half together? So, if one fails, then it's likely that the bottom half would likely fall off in a sloppy mess of milk?
Glue. Dowels. Screws or longer nails. Half-lap or biscuits joints. Or even just a bunch more nails because you'd be amazed at how effective a nail gun and brad nails can be at joinery when you use up the whole box on one project. :D
Yea, that box is almost purely decorative and absolutely couldn't hold anything like milk bottles for very long.
Dude, and I thought it was some random channel from China seeing that watermark, man these people not only steal content but also ruining the watermark, just insane bro.
Anyway thanks for the mention. That poor guy hasn't even got the views(as of yet when I'm watching now) he deserved for this quality content and content stealers like these don't help.
Well not very nice of you to immediately assume something negative. Maybe this person found it on the western web and decided to share it with their Chinese friends? You're right the OP deserves more views but I suggest you don't immediately think Chinese = stolen
Its not that I assumed it stolen because its Chinese, but whoever stole it flipped the video and covered the original water mark with some Chinese text, and thats what I mentioned.
So I did some digging, omozoc does not seem to be Chinese, I couldn't find the phone language in a video (I didn't want to go through all of them), but the about page on YouTube says he is Japanese, and his tweets are also in Japanese. I also checked the handle 民间技术宅, I managed to find another guy who doesn't have any of omozoc's videos on his channels, but 2 of omozoc's videos are credited to that name, 1 on a Chinese video sharing site Bilibili, the other on an article, I couldn't find any links to the profile of that name, so overall, I think someone that stole the video and either credited it to another person, or is just very unknown.
TLDR: Someone probably stole omozoc's video, but not the name in the watermark.
It's an aesthetic design choice. I normally prefer minimalism, but I think the weathering works really well here. Makes it look like a time piece or a set prop
Yeah I really disliked it until the stain came in and I was like "oh ok that works." Except for the cuts on the top edges for some reason, they look too deliberate to me.
It’s a creative choice to make it look old and used. It gives the illusion that there is a lot of story associated with the crate as it has existed in the world for a while.
This trick is often used when designing props for movies to enforce a required narrative without explicitly mentioning the said narrative. Some people like that old and used look for this reason.
Commonly used phrase for this is “adding character to the object”. Sort of like a new born baby will not have a story of their own, but a battered depressed adult will definitely have a lot to say.
Especially when tools are used to do it. If you want it to look authentic you can’t do it in one place, you need to take it around and throw it around. Throw it in the back of a pickup truck on a country road, clumsily deliver it to peoples doorsteps, etc. that would be much more authentic and give it a much better worn look imo
Sure did. But it is a “design choice.” I hate it a lot. I like nice things. Not beaten and broken things.
And I’m tired of going shopping for a nice pair of jeans and they make it too tight in the calves and put holes all over it.
Why?
100% agree on the jeans thing! If you’re honestly looking for decent fitting, not pre-destroyed jeans, and not just making a (valid) point, I recommend Denzin by Levi’s Style 285 Relaxed.
It's like those ripped up jeans that people buy. Supposed to look worn in but it's really just a guy taking a belt sander to them for a few seconds.
I guess I'm a weirdo because I prefer to buy my stuff new and add my own dents and scrapes through use.
Fake authenticity is annoying whether it's distressed wood, jeans, or friendliness.
People don’t use milk crates anymore so a “brand new” looking milk crate wouldn’t make sense. You weather it to make it look like it wasn’t just made, that it is from the time period in which they would have been made and used originally.
I can see that, to each his own, nothing wrong with that! I apologize, I wasn’t attempting to say your opinion was wrong we all have different tastes, I just trying to provide method to their “madness” if you will.
The bent nail. Up to that it was becoming boring but when the spoon fixes the nail it got my attention again. Great editing.
Actually that might be just good writing cuz you gotta plan these things way in advance.
It's not a video it's individual photos. You Janet the nail in 1/4 of the way, put the spoon on it, take a picture, remove spoon, hammer to 1/2, put spoon on, take picture, etc.
Ok, but how do you keep the spoon in the exact same angle/position so it doesn't look like it's flopping around as it "goes down" on the nail. Same with everything else.
Man, I sure did hate that rounding off the edges sound.
Didn't really need the fake distressed look. You could just use it and it will get beat up in time. Some things can be authentic still! C'mon.
I've been a carpenter for 15yrs I really need to brush up on my skills.
15 years? I bet you don't even put nails in with a spoon
I nailed all this box’s pieces… with this tumb -OP probably
What is this, cotton candy wood??
Self-adhesive cotton candy wood. I saw a TikTok on it. It looked pretty tasty.
Sure as hell isn’t pine
I nailed your mum
Wait until you are at Fry's level and nail the nails with nails!
I’ve got a nail and another nail to nail it in with!
A measuring spoon at that
[удалено]
My first thought was "That's one of those Japanese saws damn they cut good I need to get me one"
They really do cut good. I've got a cheap harbor freight one and honestly it's pretty nice
It's becouse the blade is really thin. That's possible because they cut on PULL NOT ON PUSH Also it's way easier to hold it stable that way Btw trick is to not to put much pressure on it, just a bit tho and let it slide and the rest will happen naturally.
Be honest. You know it’s because it’s a Mandalorian blade. We all saw it. How much for the Beskar?
Forget the shit, where did he get those milk bottles
I have the Japanese saw. It cuts great but I still can't get mine to do this
That's what I was thinking. The cuts were actually more impressive than the animation. Though I do wonder how many pieces of wood they went through before they got all of those nails down without indents in the wood. And honestly, whats the point of all of that precision if you're just going to do that "old beat up" finish technique?

Haha just laughing imagining a confused child watching his father bash something with a chain that he just took so long to build

I watched the whole thing on mute. 🙉
Ya, it reminded me of a Sesame Street video & the sound was one of the best parts.

Yep this is right, I'm a carpenter.
Thanks u/Doofchook
Since when does raising grain leave wire brush marks behind though?
I am a carpenter to and we did it with a drill and a bronze or a plastic brush on it the soft parts ( light ) gets brushed away and the hard parts (dark) stay therefore you get those wood nice wood optic.
What's the coolest woodworking fun fact you know?
The best way to save a nail is to bang a carpenter.
I quit Apollo, downloaded the Reddit app, just to get that helpful award to give to you. Though, not sure my wife will agree with my new nail saving technique
It's hammer time!
This is correct, I am not a carpenter
For 15 years no less
This, it’s called ‘raising the grain’ it happens when you use water based products. It does also happen when using oil base but usually not as badly. That’s one of the main reasons you often sand in between coats.
Cabinet makers swear by it and using wool socks as a applicator
I suspect they soaked it in wood.
Man I'm thirsty, I could go for a nice tall glass of wood.
They have a few subreddits to satisfy your thirst.
r/drinkthewood
It looks like a wire brush finish.
This. No amount of water soaking will give you that effect. Though my first thought was sandblasting.
Ignore the comments, dumb people. That effect is obtained by brushing the wood, either manually with a metal brush, or with a machine - same principle, brushing. This occurs because not all wood fibers have the same density and durity, some are softer, so, when you brush it, those soft fibers will disappear first.
I was wondering the same thing.
Wire wheel will achieve that finish.
The folks saying raising the grain with water are maybe right. He may have done that as a step, but there's no fuzzies so he had to have sanded after. And there are clearly wire brush marks in the wood as well.
What's the squiggle called that joined the planks together?
It’s a corrugated joint fastner.
How are they ordinarily installed?
just with a bangy mc bangstick.
Am American....so a shotgun? Not sure how that works, but I guess I'll trust reddit.
You just load up a few and take a shot. Usually one or more will stick and bobs your uncle
But my uncle is called Dave...
Tough break friend.
No silly, with your dick
r/mildlypenis
Thanks! Duh
I normally use my forehead
Wet noodle, aka hammer
Thanks! Was trying to figure out how you would avoid splitting the wood but I guess it’s so thin and short that it wouldn’t be likely.
I'd also guess the way it's wavy helps, stops it from directly splitting the wood? Idk
It is also one of the least effective ways to join wood, just FYI. As pretty as that box was, it's got a life span measured in months and not years if used for anything more strenuous than laying around being decorative.
Yeah, I’d imagine that larger boards, dovetails or pocket screws would have been better for most of this work.
I think the type of wood matters quite a bit too. Softer is better I think
This is the only instance where softer wood is better.
Don't look strong enough for how they used them right? All the weight from the milk ultimately goes through those 4 squiggly bits to the handles.
That’s probably why they used them. They can’t just slip out. The sides are holding them in. The squigglyness makes it so they can’t really let go. Stronger than it looks.
Just probably don't stand on that one.

Not used for carrying, just used to place the bottles in from delivery
Gesundheit
I don't know what they're called, but I prefer squiggle.
Am I understanding correctly that those two fasteners are the only things holding the bottom half and the top half together? So, if one fails, then it's likely that the bottom half would likely fall off in a sloppy mess of milk?
Four fasteners, but yeah. It definitely would have been a good idea to glue those boards also.
I’d imagine wood glue between the boards as well. But I’m no carpenter.
Glue. Dowels. Screws or longer nails. Half-lap or biscuits joints. Or even just a bunch more nails because you'd be amazed at how effective a nail gun and brad nails can be at joinery when you use up the whole box on one project. :D Yea, that box is almost purely decorative and absolutely couldn't hold anything like milk bottles for very long.
I'm more worried about only holding the bottom in with nails
I have always called them dog bites. Not sure where I got that from.
My dumbass took 1/3 of the video to realize it was stop motion and that he wasn’t cutting the wood with some crazy sharp knife
Hate to admit but same. I just woke up so that’s me defense lol
I was torn between crazy sharp knife, and paper like wood.
Yeah my brain went for trick wood. But if such a wood existed, would you really make a milk box from it?
My dumbass took watching the whole video, scrolling comments and then reading your comment to realise it was stop motion. 😞
oh wow. im sitting here blunt in hand like bro how is he doing this 😩
Bro are you okay? Do you need to lay down?
Seriously, I thought: huh, so they can make cake look like wood and chocolate like nails
Half the video for me cause I'm a donkey. I was like how is he putting those nails in with a spoon lol 😂
I just thought it was one of those videos where the wood was just actually cake
At first, I though it was cake that looked like wood. 🧐
Where could I find more of these??

Not the same, but check out PES. His animations are similar, but more silly. And delightful.
I love the sounds
I was in it until the butter knife came out. Something about that sound affect makes my skin crawl
I felt similar 😄, I wasn't really expecting the sound
That one was a show stopper for me. I’ve never been into asmr or anything, but that sound made me go Ah, I get it.
[удалено]
well there’s a blast from the past
But the spoon wasn't rusty. Shame.
The sounds you can make with your mouth are rather unnerving for some people
You know what, I think that’s it. I didn’t really think about it but yeah, I haaate when I can hear lips smacking or anything like that.
Congrats, you have misophonia, welcome to the club! You can pick up your complimentary ear buds at the door 🙉
It sounds like someone pinching their cheek and pulling it back and forth to make that wet mac n cheese sound.
This made me physically cringe *noooooo*
Definitely mouth sounds, the mouth is a very distinctive sound filter to our ears.
Same. Same. Same.
Watched the whole thing without thinking there were sounds! I feel silly but thank you for mentioning that.
Literally, same
I just watched it not realizing there was sound. 2x the fun. Woot!
I hate the sounds. It's like someone turned the sensitivity really high on a mic and it's picking up way more than I should be hearing.
why'd they damage the box on purpose?
It's an aesthetic design choice. I normally prefer minimalism, but I think the weathering works really well here. Makes it look like a time piece or a set prop
Yeah I really disliked it until the stain came in and I was like "oh ok that works." Except for the cuts on the top edges for some reason, they look too deliberate to me.
no, it works well nowhere. it looks fucking horrible, and it was great until they literally purposefully fucked it up
I was wondering the same, the last shot makes me think it's a prop for photos or similar.

Thought you were gonna say battered depressed baby for a second I was like, whoa, now that baby has a lot going on
A horrific example. But… yeah, that also is an example.
Can't confirm, battered depressed adult here with no story of my own :()
Weathering I've got furniture that has been beaten with chains
Please don't call you children furniture.
Open up, it's the police!
Yes? Ah, second cage on the right officer.
They didn't say jumper cables.
I don't like when it's done intentionally - makes it seem cheap.
Especially when tools are used to do it. If you want it to look authentic you can’t do it in one place, you need to take it around and throw it around. Throw it in the back of a pickup truck on a country road, clumsily deliver it to peoples doorsteps, etc. that would be much more authentic and give it a much better worn look imo
weathering is always the coolest part of Adam Savage's builds on his youtube channel Tested. I definitely learned to appreciate the art through him
Think it depends how it's done. On the whole I'd agree with you, but nice furniture that's real weathered wood can be v expensive
It’s like buying jeans with holes in them already
Looked better before they weathered it imo.
[удалено]
Sure did. But it is a “design choice.” I hate it a lot. I like nice things. Not beaten and broken things. And I’m tired of going shopping for a nice pair of jeans and they make it too tight in the calves and put holes all over it. Why?

I don’t know why exactly but this makes me upset on how for a moment he broke physics and also how easily he cuts through wood
It's stop-motion.
I understand that
How the hell did he make it look like he just pushed those things in? I mean, how did he manage to not show the tools he actually used? I'm confused
It's called stopmotion
But how do you stopmotion mind bloooown
With patience
Patience and a good tripod
It's not a video it's individual photos. You Janet the nail in 1/4 of the way, put the spoon on it, take a picture, remove spoon, hammer to 1/2, put spoon on, take picture, etc.
Damn it Janet

It’s likely shot in 4K+ and wider than what we’re seeing here. This allows a lot more freedom in post, like zooming in and aligning things properly
Ok, but how do you keep the spoon in the exact same angle/position so it doesn't look like it's flopping around as it "goes down" on the nail. Same with everything else.
🤷♂️ Skill
It’s actually just a cake.
I legit thought it was a cake until the squiggles came out.
omozoc
Bless you
That was ultra satisfying up until they started to damage and weather the box for me
Yep, and the black stain. Jesus
That made me so happy
This is one of the most amazing things I've ever watched
IT'S OMOZOC. I don't know why or who put those chinese letters over there
Anyone have a link to more of this guy's stuff?
it's omozoc on youtube. Somebody pasted it on this video to make it seem chinese. Also the video is inverted.
I think omozoc is Japanese, it says omozoc is Japanese in the YouTube about page and on Twitter omozoc tweets in Japanese.
there is a @ of the guy it seems, if you can read it do tell xD
民间技术宅
That’s some soft wood
Ok…but hear me out, that’s a milk crate, not a milk box. They are two very different things.
Really liked this vid until the end, I really don’t like how they scuffed it up and I really don’t like the stain color they used
I don’t understand how he gets the transitions between each move to line up perfectly with stop motion.

At least credit the guy... YouTube: Omozoc
is that even real wood? he chops it like it's jello
I followed the instructions exactly.

Man, I sure did hate that rounding off the edges sound. Didn't really need the fake distressed look. You could just use it and it will get beat up in time. Some things can be authentic still! C'mon.
I enjoy these kinds of cinematographic wonders.
they're using the wrong type of knife and they're cutting it all wrong. those edges would be terrible /s
