The pattern is a by Steve Good. I altered the size of the box to suit. I made the side walls thicker also to make it easier for gluing. I also miters the sides instead of cutting them out of one piece of wood. His pattern was not calling for an inlay but I wanted the challenge. I will say the it was the toughest inlay to date. I used maple and walnut.
I definitely made it for my own enjoyment because I could never charge enough to pay for my time.
Ron glad you are on the mend. I think the root of the problem is that you use a scraper instead of a sander.......I've heard that sawdust helps strengthen the heart. Just kidding. Time to retire and scroll. Will be thinkin of you.
Enjoyed your post. I too have bought a couple of plans from Iggy. Great service, price and quality. I have also bought a couple of plans from Scroll Saw Goodies............Travis's site. I always like to support those who give sooo much to me.
I am thinking about making this box. Do you have any suggestions on gluing the the inside of the box to the bottom. As thin as it is I am concerned with glue squeezing out all over. The only thing I can think of is to clean it up with a wet rag and hope it finishes O. K. Gluing the outside to the top isn't a problem because I can keep the glue to the outside. If it squeezes out I can sand it off. I would appreciate any input. Thanks
