This afternoon I went out, started working on the drawer. It sure felt good to be back in the shop again.
This really helps shorten the winter.
Who cares about going South with the birds, when you have a nice warm shop.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I adjusted the bandsaw table, sawed the ends to about 3/8” thick.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then I taped a tapered cut off to the heart, so I could get a 90 degree cut. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then I cut out the inside for a drawer space.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Isanded I sanded the interior.
I glued one end on, & let it set a couple of hours.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I glued, & clamped the other end. I had to put sand paper under the wooden hand screw, so it wouldn’t slip. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now I’m waiting for tomorrow to finish up the drawer.

You know Dick I’m now waiting each day like I’m waiting to watch the next Desperate Housewife series….Can’t wait to see what happens next. I’ve learned more about bandsaw boxes by your progress than I have learned reading all of the books that I’ve purchased. Great Stuff, and again very informative.

I was just looking at some carving and admiring out a carver can see something in a piece of wood and bring it out. That is no less true for these bandsaw boxes. The ability to visualize a design and remove what’s not part of it is quite a skill. Your box is coming along great and while I’m really enjoying watching it come together, I really eager to see the final product. Very cool.

Yes, Dick, It’s taken Lumberjocks, and the Winter Awards in particular, to get me out to the ‘shop in January. It’s normally locked up until about March. And I’m feeling a lot better for it.
Also, thanks for sharing your methods with us.
