Thread: A dozen money boxes

I had a request to make money boxes for a family of a four youngsters. Each child will have 3 boxes, each one will have a different letter on it.
Box # 1 the letter L for living expenses
Box # 2 A for assets
Box # 3 R for retirement.
The parents hope this will learn them the value of money.
The 3 boxes will also be in a box.
The boxes were to be made of various local timbers, Pine, Ash, Blackwood and Redgum.
All were make from 100 x 8 mm material. After all timber machined to size, mitres were cut on my 20 year old Makita Tradesmens saw bench,( no $3 or $4 thousand table saw)with a sliding table.
Edges were mitred on a 6inch Jointer, just about my age.
All pieces were spot on when glued up. A few snaps of various stages ,items still to be sprayed on a warm day. John.
