I’m waiting anxiously for the unveiling!!! It looks to be another treasure. I never doubted you, Martyn! I appreciate you sharing all parts of this process with us – even the bumps! It only raises my respect and admiration for what you accomplish. Great going!

Nice save Martyn. My brother, who has MS, subscribes to the “You’re never gonna keep me down…” portion. I, myself, tend to lean too much towards the “He drinks a Whiskey drink…He drinks a Lager drink…” portion. As always, look forward to the finished masterpiece…

From the litle that is showing, It looks like it is going to be a great piece…

That is so nice.

Thank you again all.

SASmith and David, well spotted here’s the link to Tubthumping (I get knocked down)

The box is almost finished. I’ll post it in the projects section, probably tomorrow.

Now whiskey drink or lager drink ….......?

-- Martyn -- Boxologist, Pattern Juggler and Candyman of the visually challenging. http://www.theartofboxes.com

I’ll take a lager drink.

Nice one mate.

I tip my hat to you and my bottle of Lager!

-- Flaws are only in the eye of the artisan!

Proof once again that the master craftsman is not the one who never makes mistakes, he is the one who is able to fix them.

Looking forward to seeing the box in all its glory. It looks like this one is going to be really memorable.

-- I may have lost my marbles, but I still have my love of woodworking

Mondrian is my favorite artist, and I have some ideas in my head for pieces inspired by him as well. I can’t wait to see the grand unveiling.
