Request for Bombay Chest Jewelry Box Template Plan from The WoodWorking Channel

[barrysumpter]

Hi all,

I just watched an episode of "Bombay Jewelry".

Where they made a very impressive Bombay Check Bandsaw Box that looked very simple.

I've just spent a couple of hours looking for the cut out plan.

Does anyone have the cut out plan for it or know where to get it?

As previously posted elsewhere on this site:
http://www.thewoodworkingchannel.com/

[Groggy]

? I've been watching this morning and all they had on was the router workshop and Maloof, when was the bandsawn box on?

[barrysumpter]

Hi Groggy,

My head is still hurting from the daylight savings holdoff for the games.
And can't work out the timezone for the woodworking channel schedule but here is one of the listings.

4/1/2006 1:30 AM The American Woodshop Bombay Jewelry.

Nor do they show the previous days schedule just the current days.

I remember calculating they are 15 hours difference behind yesterday and perhaps 16 hours today.
So the day has just changed on their schedule?

Melbourne is +10 hours GMT and US Eastern Time is -5 GMT.
I think that would make them 15 hours behind Melbourne
Or 9 hours ahead and a day behind.
Which is what I say to myself when calling my dad in Texas.

Whew!

I waited about 4 hours for this episode.

I know they showed the cut out plan. But can't remember if it was a full on frontal or just a quick slanted glimpse.

I'm going to try some very well timed screen snapshots to see if I can catch it the next time.

Wish me luck! lol

[barrysumpter]

Sorted.

Their schedule is 9 hours ahead of Melbourne now.

[Groggy]

Sorted.

Their schedule is 9 hours ahead of Melbourne now.Or 15 hours behind :) . So when you said you had "just watched" Bombay Jewelry, it was actually at 12:30 in the morning?

Time zones are the pits...

[barrysumpter]

Yeah, I find it easier to forget the day/date and just add 9 hours to my current Melbourne Time.

Woodworking has never been so hard.

[barrysumpter]

Best out of about 30.

[barrysumpter]

And the finished product...

[ptc]

Was it from one Lump of wood ?

[barrysumpter]

No.

Lots of (convenient) timber left overs and timber off cuts glued together.

I think the next repeat is schedule in an hour or two.

[barrysumpter]

On Now

[Hickory]

Does anyone have the cut out plan for it or know where to get it?

[barrysumpter]

You absolute champion !!!

I searched and searched and searched.

They must not have their site registered for search engines.

Made my day!

Thanks heaps!

[barrysumpter]

I got it.

But, For some reason the .pdf link kept taking me over to the adobe site to download the latest reader.

I wasn't able to open the .pdf until I installed it.

If you've already got a pop up page displayed IE will continue to use it for any subsequent Pics.

So if the pop up page is hidden behind
another IE session windows or another application window
IE will NOT bring it to top.
You'll have to go find it.

[Sculptured Box]

The February 2006 issue of Woodworker's Journal "America's leading woodworking authority" contains an article by Scott Phillips (page 49 - 53) which describres and provides plans for a "miniature band-sawn box" described as the "French first inspired bombe' (Bom-BAY) chests in the 1770s."

Readers may note the similarity of the finished products.

This one just plays over the internet.

Thanks Barry

[barrysumpter]

A Big Big Thanks to Hickory and Tony for their excellent support!
And thanks to everyone who offered as well.

The article is very well written.

No Problem Skot!


Now, I'm trying to work out what glue and primer Scott Phillips was using.
I get confused once I get into the details of the glue.

I'll keep watching the episode to see if I can sort it out.

If anyone knows a better source or has purchased the glue close to Melbourne could you please post here?

[barrysumpter]

For the regluing after bandsawing:
Medium or Thick Viscosity Cyanoacrylate (C.A.) glue
and Curing Accelerator.

(Don't know why I kept getting confused with the name. lol)

At a slow count of 10 the glue starts to set, by 15, it is solid.

--------

Sam Maloof mentioned TiteBond II glue or TiteBond III glue as well.
Specifically NOT Gorilla glue.
For numerous reasons including how it stains his hands.
Which is something I've posted about here before.
It lasts for weeks. And makes me look like I can't stay clean.

The article mentions Polyurethane glue and a misting bottle to moisten all glue surfaces first.
But the internet states Gorilla Glue is Polyurethane.

I recall the outdoor glue I used bubbling over like the photos in the article.
My fear is that it won't dry clear and leave yellow streaks between the work pieces.

TiteBond:

Thanks Hickory,
An excellent online resource.

I bit the bulllet and made my way down to Carba-Tec's new location.
Decent look around and decent stock.
Much bigger and not so crowded. i.e. easier to move around in.
A definite improvement.

Although they did bring the exhaust fumes with them. lol


I spent exactly $100 on:

1) Titebond II - 1/2 the price of Titebond III
2) Hot Stuff - Green - Extreme Filler
3) Accellerator - NCF Mild
4) Bandsaw Blade - "The best you're gonna get in Australia" - 3mm - 14 teeth - 1/8"
..............................Hopefully the 3/4 hp will handle the cut.
