Not Just Any Box #2: It all hinges on these..

Wow, Stewart, that was a great solution. As I read your introduction, I was wondering how you would “drill” those holes – but you were thinking “outside the box.” Nice!

I just hope your wife isn’t going to be looking for those knitting needles anytime soon ;^D

You may be “balmy” Stewart, but the difference between a good woodworker and a great one is that the great one has the patience to spend a full day drilling two holes just right.

Pretty cool, Yorkie. I like it!

I followed your pictures with interest. My box plans have been drawn up for some time, but our though processes are similar. I have a slightly different tack that I intend to take, but we’ll see how well it goes. I look forward to seeing the end product.

Neat idea.
Repeated use must lead to improved speed – if that’s important.
I bet this is going to be a great box.

Great illustration Mr. Stewart. Tom’s right it was good thinking. Just what is that you’re making there? lol mike

Sir Stewart of Yorkshire, you have done it again. Good post.

Ah Stewart, you are the man!

Ever since you posted your 2×4 entry, I’ve been waiting for “the other shoe to fall,” as they say. The first mighty “2×4” shoe came down and shook our lumberjock world – witness all the comments on your post!

I think I see the shadow of another very large “box” shoe coming down with a resounding thud to tumble whatever was left of our foundations (or at least mine).

This a wonderful, creative and challenging solution for executing a design feature!

Congratulations! Great mind power and crafting prowess!

Absolutely ingenious. Your creativity and resourcefulness are downright inspirational.

Mr. Stewart, I would expect nothing less from a man of your woodworking genius! Now can we please see the @#$%^& box? lol. After the 2×4 chair, you’ve really got the old curiosity up…......

Thank you for sharing.

Great process, now I’ll have to get my wife to start knitting, so I can steal her needles. LOL
