Those are sweet looking boxes. Christmas is such a fun time of year for woodworkers. Busy too. Good thing you got an early start.

Great job!

Funny how this works, isn’t it Charlie. The domino effect in woodworking, and I don’t mean those little flat rectangles with spots on them. My wife has just told me that, among other things, she wants me to build a mission style bed. Now that is a lot of work. If I start on that there is no telling when I will get back to making boxes, cutting boards, and so on. But I guess it is nice to be wanted without having your picture put on the wall in the post office.

Anyhow, the toys and so on look nice and I am sure the recipients will appreciate them.

Your choice of tool boxes for the boys and jewelry box for the girl was very appropriate. You have personalised them so beautifully. The jewelery box is superb and the boys will envy the girl. The joinery and the wood is very special. Pl elaborate about how you have put the names.

Thanks, everyone.

Great looking tool trays! I was really surprised when I saw the walnut! I am a tool tray nut, having built a few myslef. I like your corners with the plugs.

Great job, Charlie. Getting your christmas woodworking done early. I was wondering how easy is it to use a Milescraft Signcrafter?

-- Dennis Zongker

Dennis, it’s easy to use. A little boring to set up what with hunting for the letters you need and assembling them into the frame.

Great looking gifts Charlie

And you have another reason to be in the shop making the next ones.

BTW I love the lettering for each child.
