My first box is the best so far

**blue3.3** · 17th October 2009, 10:08 PM

I have just finished my first box and I'm impressed with myself the box is made from New Guinea Walnut for the case and Yellow Walnut for the lid and base

Nice one, Looks great. Well done

I'd be damned pleased with that box too, if it were mine. Very nice.

Blue,
This might be your first box, but I'm pretty sure your not new to woodworking.... Dovetails, wow, and walnut to die for. Fabulous box, well done!

Thanks for the comments, the dovetails were done will a Gifkins Dovetail Jig that thing makes life easy. Ive been in to woodworking for about 18 month

Thanks, blue, for telling us about the Gifkins as I was about to ask. Glad you found it helpful as I am saving for one!

Would you tell me how you did the rebates, please, and if you bought in the two woods ?

Congratulations on a beautiful-looking box.

A friend let me use his jig and now i want one. Roger Gifkin does a set of router bits for box making i think its called box making set 1. If you are going to get his jig get the bits at the same time the two go hand in hand. The wood i got from thin timbers in Gympie when they were down in Taree at the woodworking Expo earlier this year.

Thanks, blue. Great information.

That's a very handsome thing indeed.
