unable to post rest of thread so see this link.

veneered tissue box :: UKworkshop.co.uk

I crept back into the workshop last night around 9.30pm, I wanted to see how the veneers were getting on, (I was getting a load of slippage).

Anyway I could not resist fitting one of the diagonal blocks to a carcass side which was underway to see what the effect was going to be.



Interested to see if this post is accepted by ubeaut this morning, I was continually shut out last night.

Now the temperatures have returned to workable conditions in my workshop I fitted the rest of the veneered diamond blocks to carcass pieces.



BTW my make up board is becoming a bit tatty.



My waste offcuts are getting smaller these day, I suppose that's natural after making this design tissue box for nearly a year now. (over 30 boxes I reckon)



The lid pattern has been changed for this box at the suggestion of an Australian forum member, A diagonal aperture specially for you Artme.



Lid formed with each strip individually cut.



Awaiting a tidy up before attaching to carcass.

Looks cool, John.
Should oil your make-up board - makes it easier to clean the glue off.

It looks great, the diamond design is really nice.

Got the lid glued on yesterday evening but prior to the glue up I had to hand carve the diamond shaped aperture because a roundover bit in the router table would not enter the angled corners.



The tissue box only just fits the inside of box, (the reason my offcuts are getting smaller mentioned above can now be seen by the closeness of this fit)



This box is nearly finished, a general clean up, wax and bottom sliding plates needed to finish.

Thanks for watching and all kind remarks.

BTW, I've thought of another pattern which I think is wicked, so see the next one?

That diamond pattern turned out really well, and you are so quick in translating your ideas into real things. I need to emulate you. But my shed has been too cold rather than your heat. Too cold for glue work here - I have to bring things back into the house overnight because the shed is dropping down to zero. But really enjoy your WIPs John.

Look forward to it.

Yep!! Another great box John!
