Don't Look Patron !

It looks like your doing. pretty good. Nice looking box.

That’s a very nice assembly of odds and ends. This is a perfect example of why you should never throw wood away.

Yea Charlie. Tell my wife that. Eric, that’s a great looking box from what was headed to the dump.

Super box and I love the way you have mastered the template. Milescraft if I am not mistaken.. btw what bit are you using?

Eric,
I know what you mean about posting after David… but you have one nice piece here!
I love the dove tails, the combination lends itself to nice contrast, and the price was right!
Nice work.

Thank you all.
Kind words by people as talented as you are very flattering.
The quality and diversity of pieces being posted these days is incredible.

Larry, the Milescraft kit came with a
1/4 V groove (#70020) bit which I’m using, and a 1/8 straight bit.
(I have their sign making kit coming. That is until I can save up enough to order my wee beastie….:)

I am fortunate enough to receive raw materials from various sources and have fun seeing what I can make.

I don’t think there will be any Queen Ann Highboys coming out of my shop any time soon, but I sure have fun making what I can.

Thank you all again, and I hope you all have a very happy Labor Day holiday.

Eric, if pratice makes perfect….you’re well on your way. Nice combinations on the woods. Your box turned out great.

-- John @ Myrtle Beach
