New Tissue box designs.

[John B]

Some tissue boxes I finished. The rose is Tasmanian Oak with Jarrah trim, I Sold this one at Sunday's Markets and have orders for another 2.
The others are Pine and Jarrah. I don't think I have posted these designs before.

Very nice boxes.  Those all should sell.

Very nice! Especially the rose. They are the type of things that when I see them, I'd like to touch them. Some things are for the eyes only.

Outstanding work John, the cutting is flawless and the finish is second to none.  

I would be interested in making a few of these boxes.  Have you everposted a tutorial on your build process, if not would you consider it?

Thanks for sharing your fine work.

G'day Rick,
I knocked up these a few years ago for a mate.
If you have any questions just ask.
To cut the bevel on the front lozenge, set the saw at about 5deg then test on a piece of timber the same thickness as the box sides.  I try and get the piece to come out approx 6mm. It has to protrude enough to allow a ply insert backed with felt to fit and not protrude into the inside of the box. I fix this piece of ply to the back of the face with tape so that it is cut at the same time as I cut the lozenge. The ends go between the face and back, I use a nail gun and 35mm pins to assemble it. Then once the glue is dry I sand with 120g / 180g, 240g and 360g before fixing on the corners with glue and band clamps. The top is glued and clamped.
