Along time ago when puppies were the oldest animal and cassette tapes were the next best thing to sliced bread…...
I made this box 25 years ago in my high school woodshop class. It has ridden around in my car holding my cassettes until about 7 years ago when I heard they came out with this new gadget called a compact disc or as the kids call them CD's. hehe.. So the box had about 18 years of sliding around in my car getting scuffed up and all dirty looking. When I was doing the boxes for my niece and nephew (just recently posted) I decided it was time to refinish my cedar box that has served me so well.
On the top of the box there used to be a sharp edge where I used the table saw to miter the edges a little and it left the top of the box flat. Well when I was sanding the old varnish off to get down to the wood those edges took a little bit of a beating so I decided to smooth them out a little and give the top a little more of a contoured look. I think it turned out better looking than the original look.
Now that cassettes have gone by the wayside I'm not sure what I will use the box for. I guess that will be determined at a later date
Unfortunately I did not take any before pictures.. I will try to remember next time.
