John,
Well done. You've gotten the creative jucies working, on a roll what can we expect next?.
My favourite is the trio bottom left of screen.
How do you stop the round drawers from rotating? |

HI S BOX,
To stop the draws from turning i cut a keyway on draw 6mm with a router from the back stopping about 10mm from the front of the draw,and made wooden key and glued it in bottom centre.

I really like those simple, one drawer boxes. I think they're called "leaf" and "minnow"
All of them look fantastic! |

Beautiful work John T, I always enjoy seeing what you do. Q? - what is the average depth / thickness of these pieces.

A very nice collection John, well done. What is the finish and do you use different finish with the Huon pine?
You are inspiring me with your energy; I had a collection on display and got rid of 12 over Xmas so I have to get working to fill the gap. I am fired up again after seeing your lovely collection.
Kind regards
Barrie
