    I don't know why you seek to differentiate your work from the others of this Forum, you've done good with these two works, well done - now onto the Advanced Class?

    An excellent start, Tony has taught you well. I like the finish on these. Did you use flock or felt in the draws, what are the dimensions of the boxes.
    Keep up the good work Don Mc.

    Really nice boxes. I especially like the one with the frame floating inside another frame. Be interested to see how that is attached, and how you cut it on the bandsaw.

    Tony: how about running that course in Adelaide? You can use my shed.
    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.

    Sorry for the delay in replying as I have been away.
    Thanks for the kind words again, the inner box is attached to the outer one by superglue, the entry and exit cuts are one and the same and I was taught to try to use the grain to diguise the cut.
    regards
    Paul
