wouldwurker Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Read a Krenov article about how he'd sometimes just start building w/o and let the process itself inspire him along the journey. That's kind of what I've been doing here. I started out with a finger jointed box, but a miscalculation resulted in very proud fingers. So I put dowels through them like handles. Looked pretty, but the outside ends needed something, so i added BIG dowels across those dowels. Now I'm not sure if it should be a box with purple handles.... Or some kind of crazy, slightly Asian looking display piece... Or hang it from the wall vertically? What the heck am I making? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wouldwurker Posted September 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 That's right. Whiskey goes bad once you open it. That's why you have to drink it all at once 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wouldwurker Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Well this was fun. Rounded over all the fingers and made an interesting bottom. Added little chamfered Purple Heart riser details on the bottom too, also to structurally support the dowel holes being so close to the bottom. Going to make some randomly shaped wooden blocks for my son. This will be a fun carrying case. I picked up some of that Watco spray lacquer. Any good?ll Plus, he'll have fun dragging stuff across the bottom when it's upside down, washboard style! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
