Great idea for a thread.

I was told that God was dancing because it was raining... :2tsup:

1. My concept of the Government was a building where they kept bombs in a cupboard. The type portrayed in the cartoon's, black, round like a bowling ball with a wick at the top. I even thought...

Great thread topic Josh, I'm enjoying the read. :2tsup:

Bwahahaha...

I've just found this thread, listing to Sugar now.

Gotta support local Aussie talent!

I see you knock out quite a few wheeled toys. Do you sell these at markets or are your display cabinets overflowing..

They look great!

I would love to see a picture of the coloured ones if you get a chance?

I'll take it thanks Woodchopper. I would like to collect at Chermside when you are next down this way, just let me know a date time and location.

Bwahahahahaha:lcry:

Looks accurate to me thanks Dallas.


If anybody makes one, please share the pictures as I'd love to see them.

My apologies, the photographs do not represent this very well. It's a raised panel lid so 8mm along each edge and 18mm in the centre.


This is a photo of another box demonstrating the lid,...

Looks great, the only differences with my build is follows:

I built a raised panel lid and the taper on the base of my lid is only on the opening side. This is so that when the lid pops open, it...

External: 250mm Long x 150mm Deep x 87mm High

No plans a I am yet to move to...

It's on my to do list. Hand cutting this one would be a challenge...

I've really enjoyed the read so far, thanks Waldo.

Matt, I assume you are chasing a high gloss finish?

If not I'd suggest a burnished oil finish for a more natural shine.

I agree with the majority here, oils all the way. I like my projects to look and feel like timber, not plastic.

One further step you may wish to consider is finishing over the Danish oil with a...

I recently completed this puzzle box and it should prove to be a frustrating but rewarding Christmas gift for my brother.

The box is primarily constructed from Tasmanian Oak with a 7 mm ply base...

Thornlands here. Good to know there are a few of us about in the Redlands.

I agree with your comments completely, customer service is lacking across all retail spaces. When you recieve good cusomer service it feels great, unfortunatly it is few an far between.
