heppnerguy Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 I showed my wife the pattern and she really liked it. It is a Sue Meys pattern from one of her e-books. If you like Sue Meys patterns but have not discovered her E-Bools, she has around 15 - 17 patterns in them for the price of maybe 2 of her patterns if bought separately.this box is approx 8 x 9 X 1 3/4 inches deep. I used a blade I purchased from Sloan's Wood shop that they advertise as thick wood blades and they did a really nice and easy cutting for me on this one. the sides are from a 2 X 12 piece of pine lumber. If you are going to cut some thick wood i believe these are the blades to cut. i think they would work well for compound cutting too but I have not tried them to be certain. My wife liked it because of the fairly large size because for her she found it to be more useful to her than the typical smaller box. I just lemon oiled it for the finish. It took just a little over an hour to cut and only a short time to glue together and sand.

Dave Monk Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Dick, It is beautiful! I hope you have better luck with the pine than I have in the past. I have always had problems with it shrinking because it is not kiln dried. dave pete44 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
