Gonzo Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 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? Tbow388 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Dave Monk, meflick and MarieC 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Just curious why you didn’t glue them. 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. meflick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
