Phantom Scroller Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 DW your boxes look beautiful I'll have to have a go at them, did you cut them on a bandsaw because I can't see any joints.? Roly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted November 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 DW your boxes look beautiful I'll have to have a go at them, did you cut them on a bandsaw because I can't see any joints.? Roly Roly No I cut this one from a section of 2 x 10 ( 5.08cm x 25.40cm ). Essentially what I did was cut two rectangles with a wall thickness of about 5/16 in or 0.79375cm. So what I ended up with was a pair of rectangles one 4in x 6in and the other one smaller by the thickness of the wall and the kerf. Then all I needed to do was glue a top on to the bigger rectangle and a bottom on the other and I had a box. This is in my opinion one of the simplest boxes to make but allows for a lot of creativity when making the box. I cut it totally on my scroll saw.
