Thread: bandsawn boxes made between xmas & new years

John,

Well done. You've gotten the creative jucies working, on a roll what can we expect next?.

My favourite is the trio bottom left of screen.

How do you stop the round drawers from rotating?

My choice would be the 2nd picture. but they are all terrific.

I love the two upright ones in picture 5.

HI S BOX,
To stop the draws from turning i cut a keyway on draw 6mm with a router from the back stopping about 10mm from the front of the draw,and made wooden key and glued it in bottom centre.

I really like those simple, one drawer boxes. I think they're called "leaf" and "minnow"

All of them look fantastic!

Beautiful work John T, I always enjoy seeing what you do. Q? - what is the average depth / thickness of these pieces.

HI GLEN
Thanks for the encouragment i try to make the box frame between 115/130mm other wise i think they look too small.

Great work John ...... I would have to say that there is at least a years work there .... not just a week!

I like the motorbike shaped one ..... the last I think.

The last one reminds me of Flintstone car.

Well done on the boxes.

Terrific work!! They all look just great!!!

HI ALL,
Thank you ratty, michael, christos, and artme for your words of encouragement, it makes me want to try harder to keep improving.
regards, john.

A very nice collection John, well done. What is the finish and do you use different finish with the Huon pine?

You are inspiring me with your energy; I had a collection on display and got rid of 12 over Xmas so I have to get working to fill the gap. I am fired up again after seeing your lovely collection.

Kind regards

Barrie

Thanks barrie
On the 4 minow boxes i used organoil danish oil on two and used trad wax very disapointing on the other2 i used wattle satin mix 70/30 i was happer with finnish, no special treatment on the huonpine.
