Hey James
This is a very cool Box most unique.

Yes I agree never seen anything so multicolourful well done maybe a slightly different handle would have been better but that’s just my opinion otherwise lovely box. Alistair

neat box. How do you glue the wood together like that? Do you have a blog of how that’s done? Thanks!

I too would be interested in knowing how you got did the glue-ups.

Great use of scraps!

Scrappy

-- Scrap Wood's the best...the projects are smaller, and so is the mess!

What a great idea and a great looking box.

thanks everyone,

for the glue up theres not really much to it. i put some plastic sheeting down on my table first. then i screw down two straight pieces of wood at a right angle to each other. then just dab each piece with plenty of glue and stick them together. I make one long sheet for the sides and one sheet for the top. when all pieces are glued together i take bar clamps and clamp them in tight to the right angle boards on the table. then i put weight on the assembly so that it doesnt buckle upwards. I give each glue up 24 hours to fully bond.

once all is dry i cut the sheet into the four sides of the box, and trim the lid sheet to size. i give plenty of room for movement of the lid. i also put in a bunch of corner splines to keep the sides from moving too much.

its a great project to rid yourself of those pesky scraps!
