Thread: A few Boxes

What a great display. Some are beautifully proportioned and some have a lovely touch of whimsey. I especially love the one in the second photo - can't get the idea out of my mind that it is some kind of small extraterrestial creature in supplication from an earthling. I have been thinking of trying some bandsawn boxes but haven't got enough skill or control to manage a small circle with the 1/4 inch blade that is the smallest I can get on with my roller bearing guides. Tell us more about your set up to get those results.

Very well done, I particularly admire the second box = you've done good with that design and execution!

I also like the others, they will I expect, be well recieved at Christmas.

re your comment . . I have been thinking of trying some bandsawn boxes but haven't got enough skill or control to manage a small circle with the 1/4 inch blade that is the smallest I can get on with my roller bearing guides.

1/4" blade - no problem when making bandsawn boxes. To acquire the skill is a matter of practice and knowledge.

If you are interesting in learning more of bandsaw set up, their use and blades there are a number of very good examples available here ~ http://www.tonyward.org/index.php?op...d=38&Itemid=90

Truly lovely work.

Congratulations! Well done!

Excellent work. You should be proud. I'm sure that they will be appreciated as gifts.

Cheers

Terrific work. Lovely gifts for sure.

Thanks for the kind comments guys they are a lot of fun to make


Fencepost2 - Tony Ward is definitely the best one to talk to about bandsawn boxes, I've only done the ones on this thread and a couple of others and they are no where near Tony's standard

Wonderful work there Robbie!!

I am sure they will be much appreciated.
