My 2nd and 3rd Bandsaw boxes
Hi guys,
A couple weeks ago I bought a 14" carbatec bandsaw off the marketplace and here are my 2nd and 3rd bandsaw box.

They are made from a recycled red cedar board that I suspect was part of a door frame. It is 5 pieces of the board laminated together and then cut in half because it was too tall. It is finished with a couple coats of spray shellac. They are approximately 100mm wide at their widest part. I'm planning to give bansaw boxes to all the women folk on my wife's side of the family for Christmas which is about 20 so I should get plenty of practise and hopefully get a bit better at it.

You are off to a good start, nice shape and a good functional size.
How are you going to retain the lids in place, given any thought to the use of magnets?Tony Ward

I cut off a slice from the waste in the middle and glues that too the lid as a locator and it is a tight enough fit to hold the top on. Where do you put the magnets? The sides on these are about 2 to 3mm thick.

Hi
Lidded boxes. If the wall thickness is slightly increased, to about 10mm, there is then sufficient space to embed the magnets in the walls, then insert magnets in the underside of the lid.
Shape the walls and lid, with a say a grinder to reduce the bulky appearance of the walls and lid.
Lidded boxes increase in popularity when the lid is carved with an animal or a rose. e.g.

It is a start on the 20 that you plan on making.
I might suggest that you make a few spare as a backup.
