Little boxes for the nephews

Lovely idea. Lucky nephews!

Uh-oh, you messed up… shouldn’t have put money in them! ;-)

Actually, I posted a blog last year about my nephews coming over for Christmas and working in the shop with Uncle Tim. They enjoyed that more than that PS2 games! I was honored.

These boxes look great and I’m sure they will love them.

Betsy,
I have to admit, you have become a very good box maker. What a wonderful gift. I’m sure they will appreciate them long after the cash is gone.

Damn! That one with the lid off looks quite similar to one I’m about done finishing!

Did you make the stepped lid by slitting the sides before gluing and then cut it open, or is that a separate piece glued inside?

The world can not have too many wooden boxes, multifaceted, multipurpose and nearly indestructible (other than a flame phobia).

Thanks all for your kind comments.

Richard – the sides are glued individual pieces. These boxes were put together really fast so I took the easy route.

Thanks for looking!

Really nice little boxes! Hope the nephews enjoy them.

Betsy ever think that a new $5 bill would look very nice (then stick all the singles in your pocket)

Nice boxes. You should have considered sliping in 25 Canadian Loonies . . . our $1 coin. Would make it really heavy and shaking the box would raise an eyebrow or two.
