kmmcrafts Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Very nice work Jim... I love to make boxes.. but somehow got trapped into always doing fretwork.. I don't some bandsaw boxes a couple years ago.. My issue is storage.. Boxes take a lot of space up compared to clocks and ornaments etc.. though they do seem to sell quite well..

Dave Monk Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Looks good Jim. I've been thinking of doing some flocking. Did you find it hard to do? What type of flocking did you use and where did you get it? JimErn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What type of flocking did you use and where did you get it? I ordered this starter kit from amazonhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NBZLZ8X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 there are other colors too If you order the parts separately, it uses with an adhesive, this starter kit uses paint instead. Seems to work though. Use sanding sealer before starting this, on the area to be flocked. Other than that, I blue taped the area, painted it (heavy layer), then sprayed the flocking materiel. Put the item being flocked in a tupperware container, when you are done and it is dry, turn the item over tap it a few times and the excess falls off. when you spray spray a lot of it, much more than you think you need. then you can reclaim the unused flocking material. thanks for the kind words Scrolling Steve and Dave Monk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 The first is always the hardest but that looks as if you have been doing them for a long time. Great work. Marg JimErn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdatelle Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Nice going Jim. Never tried that type of flocking. You learn something new everyday in this forum. JimErn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meflick Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 More nice work Jim, but I am afraid it will not be seen by as many folks since many will skip over this thread believing they looked at it already. Please, feel free to “flood” the forum with new creations, I suspect most are like me and enjoy seeing them.

I'll keep that in mind if I picture any others I make, appreciate the thoughts and kind words I think that curly maple (Rodeo box) is my new favorite wood. I love that optical illusion the grain provides meflick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thanks for revealing the wood on the Rodeo box, I was wondering what that wood was. Rob JimErn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don in brooklin on Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 The boxes are beautiful. You really have the inlay down pat. I have done a lot of flocking and I get mine from Lee Valley. They only have 5 colours available. http://www.leevalley.com/us/wood/page.aspx?p=44669&cat=1,250,43298,43300,44669 Next time I am taking a road trip I am going to order a couple of other colours right from Don Jer as they have 25 colours available. (They will ship to Canada but brokerage is an issue) http://www.flockit.com/ Great job please keep posting. JimErn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
