Dave Monk Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 I was really proud of this box until I realized that I had screwed up putting it together. Pretty well tore it up trying to get it apart. I was able to salvage the top and bottom and at least I noticed my screw up before I spent the time finishing it.

WolfmoonCT Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 was it that the sides aren't facing all one direction? I probably wouldn't have noticed it if you hadn't said something. new2woodwrk and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankEV Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 Well I guess you just need the practice of makeing new side and end walls. If the second attempt is a nice as the first, it is a beautiful piece and great cutting. Those though mortisis are clean and neat. Great work.

Be careful what you say...I might just do that sometime I passed through your neighborhood last Sunday. We had been down in the Rio Grande Valley seeing friends and looking for a place to buy. Went through that mess of a construction zone on I-35W and on north. We miss living in the RGV and want to move back.
