Popular Post heppnerguy Posted March 10, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 We have had almost and entire month of company, which has kept me out of my shop for awhile. I saw this little box on Steve Good's site and since we live in southern Arizona and there are a lot of scorpions here, I just had to make this for the fun of it. Not sure what to do with it, but it was fast and easy to make. This one only took about 40 minutes to make plus time for glue and finish to dry. The photo looks like it does not have a finish, but in fact it does. I am not very good at taking photos.

jollyred Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Since you are in Arizona, why not get some scorpions and put them in it. Nice box, should hold several scorpions. heppnerguy and Smitty 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatie Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Great looking little box Dick, well done. I have seen 2 scorpions here in Australia and they were both in my bathroom sink a few years apart, they were not very big. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
