XBIGJIMX Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Well the rule was this year was no one was allowed to buy anygifts and had to be homemade, so I thought a bit and drew up some blue prints Then hit the wood shelf to see what i had since I could not buy nothing First lets Resaw the walnut down and do some milling After gluing the "boards together we made a box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pghmyn Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 I really liked the two different size splines on the lid. That looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Great job of stopping the action on film just as the blade broke thru the board during the re-saw And, I also agree, nice choice of woods. Did you use a router for the inlay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byrdie Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Very nicely done. Great job for using materials on hand and the design is really nice. This is a gift that should be appreciated for years and get quite a bit of use. Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
