I have had the greatest morning
HI
I have had a top morning. I had Vern (TTIT) in my shed or should I say in my mess, teaching me his tips on making a box. I had a ball and I learnt so much. It was a morning that I will cherish for a long time. HE taught me to make a box and a finial. It was so good to see a box being made in real life rather than try to grasp it off reading on the internet. Plus some nice wood.
Thanks Vern much appreciated. YOu are tops
bye Toni

here you go
Not sure of the timber is do you think you know? Vern says it familiar but he can't put a name to it so can you jog his memory?

No we ran out of time but he did give her a good once over. He had plenty of food for thought I think.

Nah , actually we were busy under the house we never gave it a thought. Sorry Vern never crossed my mind. I did enjoy the time I have nearly got a brother done all by myself.

Toni great to see you had some fun and with boxes to...love boxes, nice go hope we see some coming of now, if you though pens were fun, you will go nuts for boxes. try and keep the thickness of the lids the same as the body so that all things stay equal or you could have problems with lids sticking. Have lots of fun..LB

Hi Toni,
Both boxes look very well done on my screen
The first on looks like Cherry wood to me.
Personal instruction is a great way to learn (attaboy Vern!!!)
