Popular Post John B Posted November 9, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) I was searching some old drives looking for a particular pattern that I was sure I had, maybe I dreamed it, or I just haven't dug deep enough. However I came across some photos of a jewellery box I made for my wife. She need another as this one is over flowing now. enjoy. I used Pine, Jarrah and Merranti, and the bands are Tasmanian oak.

meflick Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 Beautiful job and what with Christmas coming - maybe finding the photo was a "prompt" to make her that new one she needs since this one is now overflowing. As far as that missing pattern, if you are like me, you have so much to search through that you probably just haven't dug deep enough. I usually find whatever I am looking for after I buy the replacement. John B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really giving the old brain a bit of a workout now.I think it just about all was done with the scroll saw. I may of used a band saw to cut the outside circumference.

I put them somewhere safe and buggered if I could find them when I needed them. I turner the shed upside down and eventually gave in and purchased another identical set. The very next day l opened a drawer in the shed to get something and staring me right in face was the set of unopened bits. meflick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really appreciate it mate. I'm just a little pedantic when it comes to making things. When I was doing my apprenticeship I was always getting into strife for spending too long on a job.
