    Default Second Attempt at that Commission

    This is a second commission that followed the cancellation of the previous post. The customer wanted something made for his 5 year old grandson but changed his mind on what he wanted and went away to think about it. Months later he came back with a list of requirements: a small box with a lid that lifted on a storage area and a small drawer with a money box between the two. The money box needed a hidden access to allow it to be emptied.

    Fortunately he left the actual design up to me because fitting the money box in the middle was a bit trickier than he realised. The basic box is made from Rimu with corner columns and lid made from Swamp Kauri. The lid pivots on a wooden hinge and the edges of the top are handles for a young fella to lift his box. Coins are deposited into the slot under the lid and drop down a channel into the chamber below. Access to empty the money is via a sliding panel above the drawer.

    Very nice. Projects like that, that make you think about how you'll do them, are always interesting.

    Fortunately he left the actual design up to me because fitting the money box in the middle was a bit trickier than he realised.
    The only way to work. I've only done one job that was the client's design, and he nearly drove me mad with changes he wanted.

    Nice westerly drive out of Blenheim through all those vineyards.
