WOW Ray.... what a great job on your first box! Keep 'em coming!

Hi Ray,

I am in the USA so I can't answer your question on AUS availability.

I use a 1/4 inch blade on my 10" saw and have never found a reason or need to go smaller. I do know it was quite a...

Hi Ray,

I have the Carter stabilizer on my 10" Rikon and it also fits my 14" Rikon. I can say that it works like a dream and I cannot imagine free hand sawing without it anymore. Well worth the...

Excellent Job! I am just now entering the band saw box making sport and hope my first box looks half as good as yours.

As everyone else has said, a beautiful little box and well crafted. Can't wait to see what you do with a band saw.

Rob,

Thanks for the buy one get one free special. I was able to build my collection much faster that way :roflmao:

My small fleet :)

That is about the most unique idea I have seen yet in a BS box.

Nice job!

Cisco,

Thanks for the offer, but I found and won a pretty good deal on eBay for one and think I have located a nice coin slot like yours. Now all I have to do is figure out how to make the box...

Cisco,

Great box/bank and even greater act of kindness on both ends of that deal.

I think you also have inspired my grandson's Christmas present from me :2tsup:

You are just spreading...

Wendy,

I can't be of much help in your delima of choice but I would like to ask how you went about making that lattice. That is a very interesting box style and I like it a lot.

A most excellent box, Bob. I love the simple smooth look it has about it. I must ask though, what type of hinge did you use and a back side pic would be great :2tsup:

Watson,

I need your mailing address so my grandson can send you a thank you note :U

Fantastic idea and a great way to use some smaller scraps laying around. Thanks for sharing it.

Woody,

Thanks for the great tip on the planer. I cannot tell you how many times those short pieces have caused me grief in the pat, but no more now :2tsup:

Great looking boxes you have going...

Zen,

I had an opportunity to pull your video and want to say that I am very impressed. That was some fantastic accuracy and cutting. I knew I would learn something and was not let down :2tsup: ...

Absolutely perfect I'd say!

Nice job and it came out well.

Thanks Zen..... I will pull that one when I get a chance.

Zen,

Where can your video be had? I would love to see it as I am always looking for new ideas.

The thought behind Doug Stowe's DVD is not using measurements, but stop blocks and story sticks...

Just wanted to share my latest simple box as a follow up to the one I posted a couple of weeks ago.

This one is Walnut and figured maple. 7" long, 3" high and 3 1/2" deep. Looking at putting a...

Welcome aboard, Rick and can't wait to see your pictures..... I need more inspiration pictures for my files :2tsup:

Very unique design, Dan. That box kind of grows on you and makes for a very nice piece.

Now that is a snappy tip. :D

Great job on that first box and now you have the fever :U Your jointery is tight as should be and the fit looks to be perfecft.

I am with Ruffy on using oil to finish with. I think it will...

Thanks for the compliments. The box is about 3 X 5 Inches. Index card size.

After seeing some of the amazing work posted lately, I am almost ashame to post my latest little creation :B

I started this box a little over a week ago and it is only my 4th to date. It is...

That is absolutely amazing and beautiful work. I can only dream of making something that nice.

Thanks for sharing.

I am speachless! That is a work of art.

Excellent Job!

WOW! That one went in my inspiration file at super sonic speed.

That is one fantastic looking box.

Superb job pal and thanks for sharing.

Greg,

Nothing "simple" about that box at all. That is a wonderful job and the receiver will treasure it forever.

Thanks for sharing.

John,

That is a very complex process and looks like you have it going your way. That is going to make one beautiful box when all is said and done. I for one will continue to follow your...

This looks like another great box making lesson in profress and I anxiously await more on the project. Please do keep us updated and thanks much.

Superb job on that one Jim. I really like it and see some ideas I can borrow. :D

Good going!

Bodgy,

Excellent details on the process and thanks for the additional pictures which now reside in my inspiration folder :U

Don't matter what kind of wood that is, you did a fantastic job with it. How about some more pictures of that beautiful box and some details on how you went about it. :2tsup:

This was very good critique on box thickness and much appreciated. I will be mindful of this factor on future projects now that I am aware of it.

Thanks again for the comments and tips guys.

Now Ian.... that's what I call an I-N-S-P-I-R-A-T-I-O-N :o :C

Not sure if I am up to that one just yet, but will study it.... who knows. :U

Thank you so much for the many kind words and compliments. It means a lot coming from folks with far more experience than me. I am already thnking about my next box and gathering inspirational...

A couple more shots.

I just finished this box today and wanted to share it with all of OZ :U

I was inspired by Gumby's fantastic video he shared with all of us via this forum. Ian, I sincerely hope you consider...

Beautiful project and that wood is fantastic.

Excellent job!

Thanks Noel, it worked that time and looks to be a gold mine of info.

Great work Sheddy and the step by step post was great to give us newbies a hand in following the process. I like the way it all turned out and is a very fitting box for the intended purpose.

Thanks for all the great replies and help.

I appreciate the tip on Woodcraft carrying the flocking suppiles, sbnx and will look into that for sure.

Watson, the link you posted does not work...

Just want to stick it to the inside bottom of the box on this one.

Not sure what flocking powder is or where to get it over here.

I have just about completed another box and wanted to know the best way to attach felt type linning to the inside? If glue, which one is best for this purpose?

Very nice first box and there will never be one better. The learning process and time invested in the first one cannot be equaled in any respect. Looks like you had a grand time with that one and...

Corey,

Actually I think Roger has 2 books of which I have both and I think he has a couple of DVD's that go along with them. They are available on his site in the brochure.

Bob,

Great boxes and they have now went into my inspiration library for future ideas. Anyway we could talk you into some close up shots of those?

Beautiful work!

You call those boxes?????

I call them MASTERPIECES! WOW.... what nice talent.

Great tip on the tube bands Watson. I may have to give that a go for sure.

For those of you that do not have Doug's DVD.... Get it! Well worth whatever price you have to pay. I watch it at...
