Somebody else made a video that was like 45 minutes about this, so naturally I clicked on this instead. Excellent video.
Hahaha same here, first up was 40 minutes +
I found that using the dull side of a butter knife against a straightedge, that it creases the cardboard enough to create a nice folded edge, no real need to perforate the cardboard.
Genius!!
I think that'll work with single wall but when I did it withdouble wall it just needed the cut.
Pizza cutter
Great video. No fluff time, straightforward and to the point 👍👍 just subbed.
Outstanding! Perfect demonstration and tips!! Appreciate it!
Thank you - extremely helpful video. Just what I needed. Respect.
Such useful info...and presented in a really concise way. Well done! Thank you!
Excellent! Thanks.
I exactly need this type of box . I will make . thank you
Thanks . That was succinct and useful . My favorite qualities in a how to video
Perfect, thanks a lot
So helpful for shipping custom paintings thank you!
Awesome video.Thank you for sharing.
This is an incredibly sleek, well paced, and thought out video I feel a shipping video could pay a lot of money for to use internally. It's actually criminal it didn't net you more subscribers.
The most helpful video!!
Thank you for this!
I just watched several different people's videos of how to make custom boxes, and your description is by far the easiest to follow!! Thanks.
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Very clear and simple! I have to return an item and I could not find boxes that fit. Thanks a lot
Excellent thank you 🙏
Thank you so much for this. Such easy and clear instructions. You have saved me hours of looking for boxes online (that don't exist to my exact measurements!). I love how the boxes will fit the items exactly - saves all the extra packaging too.
I couldent understand after 2 seconds
You just saved me time and money
This is good, and it can be useful. It is generally more useful for most to master the art of making a big box smaller, as needed. He probably spent 2-3 times as much time as I would to make a similar box to what I would make from a bigger box, but mine would also be uglier.
Nice video!
I can not find the size boxes I need for shipping. Thanks for this awesome video!
Just found your vid on your website; you have save me so much money lol. I have a tea company and wanted to get some shipping boxes but they cost so much. Thanks for the vid!!!
Happy I could help!!
Great video thank you..does this method work good with making boxes that are larger in depth...say 8-10 inches deep
Fantastic🤘😝🤘
Exactly what I needed. I just ruined a dozen cardboard boxes trying to figure it out on my own. When in doubt, resort to KZhead! Thank you very very much!
And suddenly, I realize that Geometry class actually WAS useful. Thank you for this.
Thank, a lot, it was my first time making a box, my was not that great but also not terrible
Easy. But until seeing it done I just couldn’t wrap my brain around it. Thanks.
can this be done with paperboard? for a rigid box for example
What weight of cardboard stock should I be looking for? I'd like to make shipping boxes, similar to those of USPS.
how deep are you scoring the cardboard?
Hi, Jared is helpful doing OK
Just wondering why the cardboard doesn't meet on the underside?
I might have to end up doing this I have two odd size items I need to sell and can’t find the right size box for them. I repeatedly go back to the shopping center to no avail. Now I going to find the biggest box and break it down. My only hope.
Great info. Where do you buy your flat cardboard?
Thank you! I order my sheets from staples.com. Cheapest place I could find with quickest delivery time.
@@colwoodcraftHow do they package it?
How could I do this to create a box to ship a twin xl electric bed frame that weight 110lbs but it folds in half the frame so help
I wouldn't use cardboard boxes for heavy lifting. There's too much of a chance that it'll just break and fall down and potentially break or chipped (even destroyed, if it's delicate). For heavy objects that need shipping, build a wooden box and use plenty of padding inside. The postage firm would have to deliberately break it in order for the package to get damaged.
Anyone know where to get sheets of cardboard relatively cheap?
I actually order mine from Staples.com! You can get them on Amazon as well but Staples has been the cheapest option and they offer free shipping.
@COLwoodCraft where do you get your cardboard sheets?
I get them from Staples.com! Surprisingly the cheapest place I could find them plus free shipping.
Thanks!
where do you get flat sheet of cardboard?
I order them through Staples.com! Cheapest options I could find.
If you have a Costco or Sam's Club close by, ask them for the cardboard between products, always free. If you ask nicely they will help find them. I had to hunt for some tonight myself as they were closing
Thanks for this! (Um, you're not an old man. 😆)
I would be duct taping that sheet on the wall somehow and standing to cut it. Knee pads wouldn’t work for my knees.
Where do you buy the cardboard sheets from?
Cheapest place I’ve been able to find them is Staples.com. www.staples.com/Corrugated-Sheet-24-x-72-5-Pack-SP2472/product_946711
@@colwoodcraft That is an price but they don’t sell the same here at our staples in Canada. 🥺

You can also get cardboard from bins in the backs of stores and stores in general. The last two times I moved, I got all of my boxes from recycling bins in backs of stores that were getting rid of boxes their products came in and also the dollar store. All free. ;)
I get mine from the dumpster of a furniture & appliance store.
Where to buy the card board? What's the material?
If you have a Costco close by, ask them for the cardboard between products, always free. If you ask nicely they will help find them. I had to hunt for some tonight myself as they were closing
Art stores have them as well
Where do you get your cardboard squares ?
I order them from Staples.com. That’s been the cheapest place I could find the sizes I use.
What is the name of scoring tool you are using?
It’s the OLFA Perforation Cutter. I ordered mine through Amazon. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077Y6H5BK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B077Y6H5BK&linkCode=as2&tag=colwoodcraft-20&linkId=e8e0e691d2a759111067913d179ffcce

Where to get the sheet of cardboard in first place?
Hello! I order my cardboard sheets from Staples.com. They tend to be the cheapest and they ship for free!
kzhead.info/sun/mbR_cdCvrKlplYU/bejne.html when you close your box there's a gap. Maybe account for the fold and your 4" flap?
Teach us how to make “flat sheet of cardboard”
Yeah, but what if I have 100 of the same size I would need?
Then you build a jig that cuts the basic template, a jig that scores and a jig that folds. Or if you wanna be really fancy, you combine all three into one jig, but generally, if you need to make x number of any part, you make a jig to do it repeatedly and precise.
“an old man” 😅😅
When you see his serious work station and tools.. Ya think to yourself 'Nah I will just spend a couple of bucks on a ready made box..
I heard the loud music and I went to another site.
Did ye? Aye?
