If this is your first attempt I can’t wait to see what is coming up next! Great job. What woods did you use? Watch out…box making can become addictive.

For a first attempt, great work! I definitely wont be posting my first box.

Nice Attempt

Great box especially for a first attempt! You accomplished something in your first attempt that I haven’t figured out how to do yet – cut off the lid at an angle.

Very nice job!

Having recently tried a box for the 1st time, I definitely agree that they are anything but easy. You did a very nice job on yours.

great job on your first…. nothing at all wrong with it… simple lines are sometimes the best… let’s the wood do the speaking..

Very well done! Nice choice of hinge hardware as well.

I enjoy box making and that is very nice, the mix of wood choices looks great…ALOT better than my first box lol !!! They are fun with reasonably quick satisfaction.

-- enjoy your wood...

This first box just shows you have nice woodworking skills allready. I can see you did a good job on the hinges, those edges look nice and tight.

Best,
