    Default Kiss

    Here's my latest creation - using the KISS principle. Again, I'm using re-cycled River Red-gum fence posts for the primary timber.

    How do I get on your Christmas gift list, Don?

    I really like that - KISS often produces the best results IMHO.

    Inspiring stuff Don. I like the finish of the timber and the hinges have real 'wow' factor. Very well done.

    Cheers,
    Keith

    what wood did you use for the contrast ? very effective

    what did you use for the hinges ?
    something like an incra ?

    Recycled. Bravo! Sure looks a lot better here than in the fireplace. And KISS is great as long as it isn't too simple. The white accents are a nice refinement.

    Very fine work.

    Now Tony, I'm shocked. :eek: If you'd downloaded all the videos, you'd know exactly how to make those hinges.

    Lovely work as always Don. But if you hand cut those dovetails again this time, i'm coming around. You need some therapy.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    Did I say "handcut"? Nope - Incra crafted dovetails & hinges.

    Beautiful.

    Though, some aspects not so simple: e.g. the mitred laminations covering the top of the dovetails, and the wooden hinges. The contrasting strips at top and bottom are very nice details, and nothing is overdone.
    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.

    Gumby mentioned earlier in this thread that I demonstrated wooden hinges in one of the first videos posted in these forums. These are the very hinges I made during that demonstration from some Fijian Mahogany I had left over from the rocking chair I made last year http://urlzip.org/rocker. I actually don't like this timber very much. It is fairly soft and has what I would call a porous grain. However when it is sanded and finished it looks OK.

    Just checkin' method of construction - there might be another method I wasn't aware of (wouldn't have surprised me). Nice box all the same Don. Hinges finish it off nicely.
