    Default Large bandsaw boxes

    Hi folks,

    Thinking about maybe making a small end table as basically a big bandsaw box...

    Apart from having to fit in the bandsaw (thinking I'll make it in two halves to get the height I want), does scaling up a bandsaw box lead to practical issues? I'm thinking maybe drawers will get unwieldy if they're heavy, for instance...

    The most likely issues that I can see would be structural strength, weight and differential directional movement in the timber.

    I still have plans to try this out, but it may take a while to get to it!
