Well it’s finished and someone is already filling it with crayons.This is a small project that was made from a scrap of cedar i brought home from work about 3 years ago. It was supposed to be a quick project that could be finished before the kids lost interest.I have recently been reminded, by my children, of working with my father in the shop and never finishing anything…...he did a lot of thinking…......now i do to. So as i was trying to chisel for the hinges I managed to gouge my finger with the chisel and stall the project. We finished yesterday and the kids are very proud. Now that i think about it there are probably still 3 or 4 unfinished projects in my father’s shop that we started 20yrs ago or so lol. but i can’t ever remember him getting stitches while working on a project with me. lol

Ahhh… Crayola – a kid’s best friend
Nice box – what did you finish it with?

No project is really complete without blood stains.

The box is unfinished so u can sand it and renew the cedar smell. The joints are just cut flush at 45 degrees and are is just glued together.The bottom is ‘floating in a dado(is that the right term). I hope that it will hold up and the hardware is screwed and nailed on. There is still blood stain int the bottom since the kids did the final sanding. lol
