Bandsaw Box #1, this was fun

Project by NY_Rocking_Chairs posted 227 days ago 512 views 1 time favorited 4 comments Add to Favorites Watch

This was my first bandsaw box. Cut from a single piece of Maple that came off the stump from the local woods after my neighbor took the tree away. It was a lot of fun and the whole thing was completed in 4 hours from start to finish.

My wife thinks it looks like a bird, I think it kind of looks like the Sphinx.

Hey, Rich, if this is your first, you’re on the road, man. I wish my first looked that good….or my last as far as that goes. Hope you make a bunch more. You might consider putting a thin shim under the drawer to even it up all around. Great design. Wish I could turn them out in four hours.

Well done. As Gary suggested using a shim, (I call the sleepers or runners) to help centralise the drawer in the cabinet, not only adds to the appearance of your finished work, but also facilitiates access to the drawer.

If you are looking for addition information to do with bandsawn box making, there is the Pocket Guide to bandsawn box making on my site ~ www.tonyward.org
