Could you not have a cube in a cube all within a cube?
In other words have 3 nested cubes.

You are drilling too deep. Check the video for depth calculation.

I’m confused as to how to determine the depth of the cut by that pensil mark. How is the depth shown, or where do you measure from?

I made this and then I decided to try the same idea but I put a 8-ball in the center. My grandson took it to school for show and tell.

in measuring, a dollar bill is 6 inches long, and a little more than 2 1/4 inches wide.

Hi JoAnn,
I made two of these yesterday out of cedar. They took about 30 minutes each. You might be drilling too deep with the Forstner bit. The inside cube will still be attached at all 8 corners when you are done drilling. You then use a knife to release it. Don’t give up!

Hi:

Well I have made 3 of them so far and all 3 were a disaster. How could something that looks so simple to make be such a challenge. I must be doing something wrong but I just can’t figure out what it is that I am doing wrong every time. It all seems to be going great until I get close to the end. At which time the inside cube falls out of the outside cube. They are semi attached on some corners but others are attached even more at the corners. So I drill down a little bit more and then try to pry the corners free. At this point the cube will come out. I am about to go and try it again as I am going to conquer this cube . I refuse to let it beat me. Any idea’s on what I could be doing wrong?
