Wilson142 Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 Very nice! Especially the rose. They are the type of things that when I see them, I'd like to touch them. Some things are for the eyes only. OCtoolguy and John B 1 1 Quote

Hudson River Rick Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Outstanding work John, the cutting is flawless and the finish is second to none. I would be interested in making a few of these boxes. Have you everposted a tutorial on your build process, if not would you consider it? Thanks for sharing your fine work. John B 1 Quote

G'day Rick, I knocked up these a few years ago for a mate. If you have any questions just ask. To cut the bevel on the front lozenge, set the saw at about 5deg then test on a piece of timber the same thickness as the box sides. I try and get the piece to come out approx 6mm. It has to protrude enough to allow a ply insert backed with felt to fit and not protrude into the inside of the box. I fix this piece of ply to the back of the face with tape so that it is cut at the same time as I cut the lozenge. The ends go between the face and back, I use a nail gun and 35mm pins to assemble it. Then once the glue is dry I sand with 120g / 180g, 240g and 360g before fixing on the corners with glue and band clamps. The top is glued and clamped. Lucky2 and Hudson River Rick 1 1 Quote
