Latest Box Projects

[Tbow388]

Here are my latest boxes. One is made from Alder and maple. My beautiful Bride has claimed this box. The other is made from Oak and Poplar. The top has an added Alder to it.

Now that is thinking out of the box. (Yes, pun intended.) Holy crap dude, I really like your imagination! On the top picture, did you do the curved lid using a band saw?

I sanded it the top shape on my belt sander, and yes, i used a band saw to cut the top off once I was finished. I don't know if you noticed the dowels in the corners. The finger joints have no glue, they are doweled together.

Tim, I noticed the dowels but thought they were decorative since finger joints are inherently very strong. Just curious why you didn’t glue them.

They are fabulous, I especially like the second one.

Wow, Tbow! You got it going on. You're the master of the boxes as well as the bowls. These pieces show they were done by a true craftsman! Outstanding.

Roly, I made a jig for my tablesaw. My brother does some hand cutting of dovetails but I definitely am not!

This box started out as a test on my re-worked jig. I had no intention on actually finishing it until I saw it.

I was going to build a complete box with no glue, nails or screws. I doweled the corners together,  I had a bottom that wedged into the sides. Then I saw it!!! If I put an alder top on it, it would be a nice looking box. So out came the glue. Probably the prettiest box I have made. It all started off as a test box from scrap wood.
