A Xmas box or twelve
Hi this is what Ive been up to.
Ten pencil boxes for the school kids in the family and two tisue boxes for the new mums.
Just so you can tell your Stuff-up Fairies that their cozens who live in my shed are having fun. They fliped the ends of the second tisue box in the Triton finger joint jig so the stripes don't line up and set the tabel angle on the bandy the wrong way so the first pencil box was a casualty.
Pine for the pencil boxes an Ceder for the others.
Seasons Greatings to allHugh

Very nice. A WIP on the pencil boxes would be good.
Reality is no background music.
Cheers John

You have been a busy boy. Nice work. Long time since I have seen a pencil case like those.

Hugh,
Very nice. I remember making my first pencil case in woodwork class in 1969. The design hasn't changed.

Thank you all for your interest.
The pencil boxes I showed in an earlier post were made to a Woodworkers Journal ezplan but they only hold 10 pencils and coloured pencils come in boxes of 12 so these ones were made to take 14 (7 in each layer).
The idear of a WIP did pass through my mind at the time but it's too late now.
Cheers and I hope the Christmass faries displace all the Stuff up variety and bring more toys to the sheds instead of more stuff ups.Hugh
