Box failure no 3

[jefferson]

I won't bother you all with pics of where I went wrong. I've been trying to "challenge" myself and do a simple Ken W box. No success thus far.

So I went back to basics (and still didn't get it right). Thanks Ken for the drawings.

Here is what I was aiming for (and achieved for the day).

Not a box, but I did enjoy turning the weed pot.

And the pen was sent to me by Trevor J. (I sent some redgum up and I got this in the post.) Nice people here. :2tsup::2tsup:

You should have made a little top for the 'weed pot' (which I like by the way!) and called it a box :U

What wood is the box?

...right Jeff, no failures, just works in progress :2tsup:

[Sawdust Maker]

they both look good to me
(nice pen too)
and you did a great job on the daffodil - looks almost lifelike :p

The little box that Ken W made (for me, well I pinched it) is Dead Finish. It's the box I've tried to replicate for the last couple of days.... :((:((

The bugger didn't sign it with the "W". But I do have one signed and must build a cabinet for the pair. Turner of the Weird and Wonderful indeed. :)

You're too nice, Tea Lady, The pot has many defects... poor shape and the stem is way too thick. Never mind though. I'll get there (and see you Sunday).

I like the weedpot, I don't see any design flaws, don't argue with me about it.

And it's not a weedpot - it's clearly a daffodil pot! ;)

The Pen and the Weedpot look good, I don't think much of the box.
If I were you I would bin it.:D

Ken W, I've already had offers on the box that KQC wanted to bin. But it's not for sale. Be warned, though, I may break the lid and need a repair job done. :wink:

Break the lid and the base, I will fix it for you. Trust me.

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Don't worry Ken. We won't tell anybody that you made it. :D
