I really like it. Great design and finsih. Always like a drawer and a lid. Could take the concept to greater heights with multi levels.

Tony as always, brilliant work. Don't be gone too long as your work and creativity will be missed. All the best for your relocation I'm sure you will end up in a great place and a with a great shed. ...

Thanks for the feedback folks. I think I'll stick to the larger boxes as these small ones take alomost as long to finish, particularly the shaping.

PTC , yes the fingers do get a little closer to...

What a great idea. Love it !!

I once read on this forum that there is no such thing as a piece of scrap timber. Whoever said that was right.

I have used some rather small off cuts to make some tiny BS boxes. My daughter...

Possibly Alan Williams of Dorrigo ? He has no website but I belive he has a gallery in Dorrigo.

Great timber with fine finnish. Works well and looks great. Almost looks like the grain has been done with pen and ink.

Tony that is simple exquisite. I had hoped this year mainly to try some original designs of my own, but you have just helped me shelf that idea. I will have to have a crack at something along those...

Another beauty !

You keep those unique designs coming thick and fast Tony. Love it !

Looks a little like the face of one of those creatures in the gremlins movie, or an Japanese temple. Like the design, and finish !

Hey Tim, thats brilliant, love the carved top and the hinged lid. Yours is certainly inspired by Allans box, rather than mine being just R&D ( rippoff and duplicate). Love it.
I Like the finish and...

Thanks for the positive comments folks.

Hi Tony, yes in 2008 I am hoping to post a few more boxes on this forum. It's been a great place to see some unique designs and get some ideas. I'm working...

Finished this one for my father in-law on Christmas morning. Figured he might appreciate this a little more than the chocolate sea shells he usually gets this time of year, hopefully last a bit...

Nice design. Look forward to ssing it in it's finshed glory.

Beautiful !!

Great design !!

Thanks Ian. Glad you like it, it makes finding the patience and the time worth it when you get positive feedback. It's funny, as this one was one of the quickest I have made as I had a deadline to...

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement. I think the luck of the Irish came my way somewhat with this one, particularly for the inspiration. It astounds me how Tony continually keeps coming up...

Recently some friends opened a B&B and I wanted to give them something a little different as a house warming gift. When I last visited the couple it was Saint Patricks day and as the better half of...

Lovely boxes and a great thought. I'm sure the kids will love them. Hand make always the best gift.

Cheers !

Love the lid idea. Great combination of drawer and sliding lid.

Hard to beat camphor for that distinctive grain. Nice work and a very usable size. Like the finish too, I'll have to try it myself. :)

Thanks Tony , I'll check it out

Gabacus. look forard to seeing your finished flocked box.

Regards WB

Looks great. !

Can anyone point me to more data on flocking ? I guess it is some sort of interior finish like felt glued to the inside of drawers or a box ? If it saves sanding and prodcues a...

It will take you a week to remove much stock with 180 and 80 grit may be too aggresive paticularly if the timber is very hard. I start with 120 to remove the BS blade marks and do any final shaping,...

Just saw it at the show Tony. The photos don't do it justice. Great box, bigger than I thought, hope you get a win !!

Finally fiished my first camphor box. Design by Allan Williams.

Boody brilliant !!

I bought the OZITO for $289 which was cheaper than the RR price of both the RYobi and GMC it has much the same specs and uses the same double sided blades as the Ryobi and the GMC. It has dust...

Thanks for the heads up on the cheap GMC SCMS, do you happen to know if it was the twin rail job ?

Hi Tony

Any idea if Allan Williams or any one else is running courses on band saw box building.

Regards Nick

Hi

This is my first contribution to this forum. I've been making bandsawn boxes for about 3 years now. You can see some of my work at www.tonyward.org.

The man who is the Master bandsawn box...

Yes I'd be very inteseted in a basic plan. Never made one of these but have admired them for years. Love to have a go at one.

Thanks David

That will help. Yes the SCMS/Dyson trade probably sucks more than the dyson itself. I spent yesterday trying to find a spot for the yet to arrive new saw and making a rack for timber...

David

Interested to hear how the accuracy and set up works out, thanks. Santa decided to turn my SCMS into a Dyson vacuum cleaner (not for the workshop unfortunatley) so I have put off my...

Reuel & All

Thanks for the very objective thoughts on the SCMS. There are obviously several things to consider. At the end of the day the accurate cut is all we want and I am guessing that a $300...

Thanks Geoff

I cancelled the single rail model for I had ordered for $299 and Bunnings at Mascot has the twin rail version for the same price but without the legs. From what I have read here it...

I Looked at the single rail GMC at Mite 10 for $299 and almost bought it. After reading this I think I'll wait for the trwin rail GMC or the Ryobi. There is mention here of the twin rail GMC for...

Likewise, always interested to see how others set up thier sheds.

Regards Nick

Thanks, I'll keep that all in mind. I am not sure how these cyclone things work but I have my eye on an old dust extarction system at work that I may be able to get at the right price, if so that may...

Thanks Peter

I'll have a good look around the board as suggested. Interseting to see how you set up your workshop and a few other good set up ideas I've seen here. Thanks & regards.

Nick

My god what a set up !! You could sell tickets to see that workshop. Looks fantastic . I, like a most part time woodies, am in never ending process of trying to find suitable places to mount existing...

Thanks Greg

I'll give him a try, good luck with the un siezing of the doweling jig. A small amount of heat on the aluminium slides and a sharp tap may be all that is needed. Alternativley there is...

Thanks Greg

All very helpfull. I have managed to free up the doweling jig and slot morticing attchment. I used liberal amounts of WD 40 and gentle soft hammering the next day. It all runs smoothly...

Dont have a plan but may be able to dig some photos out of a great one I built years ago. Had a feeding table footrest and was much nicer than the plastic stuff used nowadays, Also is somehwre on thi...

Excellent !! I was hoping that this was some sort of morticer. I have doweing jigs I rarley use and also now have a biscuit joiner, so the morticer will come in very handy. Sorry about the photos, it...

Try again Darryn.

Regards Nick

Thanks Darryn. I have attached 3 shots (I think). First is the bracket and the other 2 show the attachment I mentioned previously that I belive is a horizontal doweling set up. The bit in this is...

Looks like it certainly did the job ! Enjoy.
