Denny Knappen Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 This project took several weeks of Sundays and Mondays to complete. The pattern is by Gary MacKay and found in his book 'Box Making Projects for the Scroll Saw. I used Red Oak and Bloodwood. It measures 6" wide x 5" high x 3 1/2" deep. There was a lot of cutting, gluing, and sanding on this project. Comments welcome. Old Joe, New Guy, MTCowpoke22 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denny Knappen Posted May 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Thanks Tony. I used the green felt to hide the flaws that I could not sand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Very nicely done Denny. I like your wood choices. I have made that box a few years back and I agree that there is a lot of sanding but it came out great. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Scrappile Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Look great. Only problem with those types of builds,,,,,,sanding, lots of sanding as you say. I really don't like sanding.... You did a great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny Knappen Posted May 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Thanks Paul. I hate hand sanding too. I have machines that help. My go to for flat surfaces is the Sand Flee. I also used a flex drum sander and some hand sanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
