fantastic. had to look at the pictures more than once to figure it all out. Should be a lot trickier if someone isn’t looking for them!

Great Box Tony, I am amazed on how craftsman like you come up with such great ideas and especially the execution of the project. Perfect box. I really need to get a bandsaw. But mastering the skills you have will take some time.

I always love your boxes. This one is great.
I only see one problem with this one. If I were a thief, I would take the whole box.

Tony,
Beautiful box for sure! Does the lower right box with the wheel design, lift out of the box? Or did you pin both sides so that it just rotates in place? Really nice secret compartments! Congratulations on a fine project.
Sincerely,
Ken McGinnis

Hi
Thank you everyone for your very kind words of support. Remember voting commences February 1st!
Bill. In one of my past lives of 21 years in the state police, the baddies will often spill out the contents of a jewellery box and leave it behind rather than take having to carry it, they also run the risk of the box being easily identified as stolen property.
Ken. The lower right secret compartment operates on a fixed spindle, its shape is designed to scoop up the contents of the lower section thus enabling access from the upper section.
Good Health
Tony Ward
