My good wife wanted something to go on the table between our recliners to tidy up the remotes etc. We came up with this idea which also incorporates the magazines. I am not a wood worker and made the box using a thicknesser, a cheap mitre saw and a hammer so don't critize the workmanship.:no: She is very happy with the end result.

The box is approx. 320mm long x 110mm wide and 130mm high. This size works for us. I used Paulownia only because I grow and mill it and there is plenty in the shed.

I posted this in the forum as it is simple to make and a practical article for the house. For those members inclined there may even be an interest for them at the local markets.

Wendy,

In answer your specific question - no the magazines do not cause it to tip over. The weight of the remotes seems to provide the extra stability.

I reckon you're a woodworker now John!

This probably wins the prize for the most dainty thing ever built using a bandsaw mill!
