Nice Job

Y’know – my favorite part about this box is that the kerf is part of the design – so you don’t really see the kerf. I’ve been trying to do some design which takes that in to account…we’ll see if it works.

Nice tight curves.

Like peas in a pod, very nice looking, and very unique in color for it.

Sanding hint: When required to sand in confined spaces use something like a steel or plastic ruler and attach the paper. Better still, find the electric carving knife and attach paper to the blade, it helps to dull or remove the serated edge!

Hope this helps?

Thanks Tony! That helps a bunch. I had thought about running some sort of band or sanding belt through there but I would still have an issue of getting the pressure in the right place. The rulers are great. We have an electric carving knife but I think I’d get busted sneaking it out of the kitchen.

Nice box, I really like the contrasting colors. All those curves makes my wife blush.

Nice work, colors look good together.

For really tight spaces, I also use a shim with sandpaper on the thinner end…and the thicker end when it fits. That is a beautiful box! I agree with Maxx on the kerf – looks like it is really part of the design.

Really like this box and I liked your comment about getting busted if you tried sneaking out the electric carving knife. I tried that once when I was putting some edge veneer on a couple plywood shelves and I “borrowed” my wife’s Iron….....Cost me dearly! Got busted AND had to buy her a new Iron of her choice. I still have the old Iron in the shop though.

Cool Design!

A 1” x 42” belt sander with the backing platen removed could get into some of those tight spaces. I’ve used this method when edge sanding inside curves on 1 3/4” thick toys. This might not work as well on something this thick. A spindle sander with a 1/4”dia. drum is on my wish list for tight situations like this. Nice job!

very unique, i like it!

i use a dremel in those tight spaces, with a 1/8” drum, works great
