the felt on the inside is a brilliant idea.

Thank you, Debbie! I can’t take credit for the felt, my friend provided that too. I agree that it was a good idea, though, much better than the rocks rattling around in there on the wood.

Robb, you rock!
But keep Debbie away from the power cords.

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

Thanks, Xavier!

Now, now, Debbie, don’t write off the table saw and router just yet…they’ll become your friends at some point :).

Thanks, Mike for the compliment. Nice to see a fellow Michigander here. Looks like you’re about 100 miles away!

haha I’m ok with letting them be Rick’s friends.

My father works alot in oaks and does some very nice work, butu I would like to say that this is a very nice looking peace, and it looks like it could be fun.

Thanks for the kind comments, Jeff. It was a fun project to work on, and I learned a lot doing it. For example, I wouldn’t have mitered the edges on the back piece if I had to do it over again; no one will ever see it, so why do it?.

Cool rock box Robb!

Thanks Panama and Rikkor, I can’t wait to get out to the shop again, and start making some more sawdust!

Hi Robb,

I am catching up as well on the posts I haven’t gotten to in the past. This is a very nice display case. It’s has nice simple lines and the construction looks “rock” solid. I really appreciate the story as well. To me the story behind the piece can be as important as the construction process itself.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Thank you, Scott. I agree, the stories people tell behind their work really make the pieces that much more interesting. Mark DeCou always does a wonderful job of giving his work life that way. Thanks for looking!
