Bling - a cracking greasebox (HT)

Great job, Dennis! You did splendid work with the tools you used. When I saw the first pic of the saw you used, I though that you wouldn’t be able to do it, but you proved me wrong. It looks great and is a very inspirational story. Thanks for sharing it with us!

Great stuff Dennis,
when I saw the first foto I thought you were going to show how to make it using only a swiss-army knife and a pipe! You do the best blogs here. Your friend,

Great job Dennis!

Great job as usual, what brand or make is that manual scroll saw you are using? I have never seen one like
it, and it is way better looking and built than any of the coping saws I have seen. That well used shoulder
drill press is quite impressive also, make for a nice quiet shop, but also allows a lot of work to get done.
Thank you for sharing once again. A great way to start the day and make the brain start moving, good
save on the lid.

Great job there buddy, I am itching to get back to some real woodwork. Just thinking about handwork makes my wrists ache, that is my achille’s heal.

I like it Dennis. I think you could somehow incorporate lightning bolts that follow the cracks coming off of you initials. “The Great Dennis Grosen”

Great fix too.

Dennis, How about 4 identical grease boxes for the Four Danish Horsemen of Woodworking? Maybe Cocobolo? What do you think?

Great story and great results. I enjoyed it.

thank´s fok´s glad you liked this little funny setup done with a smile to you all

Rand greased Cocobolo don´t even joke with it ,not that it cuoldn´t be great looking box´s
but if the wife´s ever see the wood used like that ,to a shoptool…..ooh dungeon and dragons
wuold be all we will see the next ten years

Poul :-) I think that wuold be too modern for a greasebox but I will have it in the ideabox for future use :-)

jim just sneak in a 20 minuts break down there from time to time with the coffeemug and sketchblock thats ceep the worst symptoms down

Gus the blade I used was a juwlry sawblade for metalwork and so its the saw too
the saw is queit handy in the way it can use cracked blades or different length of new blades
up to i think 150 mm and the tension is set by yourself, the brand ….BooH …have to see if its there

Tom go for it lets see some dustcloud and a GB over Odense :-) Look into mafe´s blog section what and why
a greasebox is handy

Gerard thank´s I´m blussing now and will crawl back to my cave I think, all I can do is try to bring a little smile
instead of fancy woodworking

David : LOL mistakes and retakes I´m good to but eating pastry and desserts is were I shine…LOL

thank´s once more for looking
Dennis

Dennis that is a wonderful grease box and you did a great piece of work in preparing that inlay and embedding it into the wood. It looks like it grew in there with the tree. :) I envy you fellows. I want one of those and I am determined that I’m going to make one for myself. I promise you that I am. As soon as I get through with rivergirls toolbox, carve a love spoon, finish a little project for my wife, one little project in my shop, .......... well, you get the picture. :) But I promise that I will do it.

Great Recovery Dennis.
