Coop Posted April 1, 2022 Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 All are really cool Dave! The designs are as neat as the constructions. Being a little partial, I really like Lucy’s L! I also like the way you layered the different woods in the three boxes. Looks like I will be making a box for my son’s dog before long and the pic is a good idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chestnut Posted April 1, 2022 Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 Nice work Dave. I really like the engraving done on the lids. Stuff like that has had me considering a cnc of some sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted April 1, 2022 Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 Great work Dave. I like the recipe boxes. The divider in the recipe box looks like it is something other then a normal dado, do you have a close up shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post treeslayer Posted April 1, 2022 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 Here ya go @Chet, I did the first ones like this after I forgot to dado the sides and liked the simplicity of the install, basically cut the divider to the exact width, clamp in place with a couple of scrap blocks to secure it, 1/4” hole, 3/4” deep and 1/4” dowels glued in place top and bottom sanded flush, easy, quick and there is no load to speak of so it works just great in this application 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted April 1, 2022 Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 That could look cool with something like brass rod. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeslayer Posted April 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 Great idea Chet and I have some 3/16” brass rod too, just didn’t think of if, next time, thanks for the idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan McCully Posted April 2, 2022 Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 Fantastic work Dave. You’ve got me inspired to do some recipe boxes for my wife, mother, and MIL. Also thinking about possibly using a similar design from the watch box for a cuff link box for my dad. In your recipe boxes it appears that you have layers of different species. How were you able to stack those up like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Reminds me of what I did for cutting boards, just wasn’t sure how you would make a box out of them. Makes more sense to me now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
