You'll probably be soooo disappointed when the box is finished. :U
If all goes well it's going to look pretty simple... and you'll think "all that work for just that?!"

Yeah! But when we look at stuff now, we can't work our how much work it was, so think nothing of it.:doh: (or words to that effect.:rolleyes: ):D
Thanks for the info on the doughnut chuck Skew, it'll come in handy at some point I'm sure :2tsup:
Done. :)
For simplicities sake, I simply turned the pieces over in the Doughnut Chuck - protected them with a piece of rag to prevent marking - and then turned out the old ring, fitted a new piece of timber and then turned the lip to shape:

Oh... and sanded the char marks out of the inside of the lid. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a piece of Huon Pine large enough to replace the piece I squashed. :C
And the end result?

You could call it the spider box! It has 8 legs!
It's going to walk off any moment...
...nicely done Skew :2tsup:
might I suggest that the overall look would benefit if the "wings" were somewhat thinner :U
Agreed wholeheartedly. They're 4mm, but I forgot to allow for the greater width showed 'cos the sides are at a tangent and have come up not quite double that. :doh:
I should've halved the thickness.... but 2mm is getting scarily thin for a part that's supporting the whole box.
I've also been tempted to attack it with a small die-grinder or whatever, and grinding the bevelled sections away. So they're perpendicular to what it currently is. Maybe for the next one. If there sis a next one. :;
Great job Skew I like the fact that you have kept the wall thickness constant,not easy to do Welldone:2tsup:
Mick:D
Mating manta rays?
:U
Great WIP - lots of food for thought.
#2
45 minutes, nothing on TV and a scrap bit of redgum...
40mm dia & 90mm tall, I tried echoing the shape of the foot in the lid.
Skew
Nice work
IMHO would have looked good with the huon contrast
Like the second one as well - brilliant :2tsup:
SWMBO has legs, doesn't she? :innocent:
