V for Victory tissue box
V for Victory tissue box to celebrate the English test match win at Lords over Australia 20th July 09 first since 1934.
Started a new box with intarsia design. V or Victory.
Prepared 4 Sycamore boards to 10mm thickness to make some more tissue boxes.
Then marked up boards ready for routering dadoes to v design. Put three boards down to give support to hand held router and fixed a spacing board over timbers to guide router and cut out.
Various screws and clamps were needed to hold everything in position but things went very well.
So glued in the p/h , cut mitred corner joints and glued up the carcass.

I thought it was a bit of a blow really,

Seriously, it looks like it will come up nicely.

It was nearly longer, fancy not enforcing the follow on, then declaring, and giving the Aussies 2 days to reach the target. We did our best to help you.

What - you mean we won something?
What you say & what people hear are not always the same thing.

Yeah, seems like you won a game of cricket but only one guy from our team turned up for the game. Originally Posted by Old-Biker-UK

As usual your box is looking good. Just as well you are making it now as there may not be a reason to make one in the future

If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life."

Finished the two v boxes, but decided to vary the pattern, because they are going to two sisters and you know how young sisters fight over their possessions.
Going out to the workshop in a few minutes I am rather keen, a new design has come to mind for top of the remaining 5 boxes to make.woody U.K.
