justdraftn Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 ..............band saw. My first project on the Delta. This is scrap 2x4, laminated for practice making puzzle boxes. Cut to block size on the band saw......the rest of the work done on the Delta. I'm giving myself a not bad for my vast ~10 hrs of experience. I'm thinking redwood would be a better choice. Much softer. That doug fir 2x4 is pretty hard. ...so, instead of thinking outside the box.....get into the box. I'll see you on the road.

new2woodwrk Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Woot - I love these boxes. Not that I would try one on my crappy Skil band saw - but they are really cool - thanks for sharing OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirithorse Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Not too badly done except it looks like you must have been using a much bigger blade than necessary. My main question would be, doesn't the size of stroke on the scroll saw really limit the size of box you can make? I'm definitely not trying to be critical here. I wanted to make some of these on a small bench top band-saw and couldn't even get the band-saw tuned up to keep the blade running straight between the rollers. Therefore, I never created any of these boxes after hours and hours of working on the saw and watching videos on how to set up the saw. At least you know you CAN make the boxes. God Bless!
