My First Bandsaw Box

I can’t believe no one has given you an attaboy yet, that’s beautiful, the girlfriend is lucky, depending also what’s in the box. “What’s in the Box?” Remember that movie? Oh God! Off topic, Great job, you do great work.

Nicely done. May have to look into on of those 3/16” blades.

Nice work on your 1st band saw box…nice choice of woods and finish as well. The Timber Wolf blade are my choice as well. Ms. Ventura’s book is a favorite of mine as well. Thanks for posting and keep them coming…Blkcherry

Great box. Very pretty.

-- Donnie-- listen to the wood.

I go along with others regarding Lois Ventura… I have made quite a few..
I do have one little point which I am sure you are aware… there seems to be a slight hesitation in your internal cuts.. Experience and confidence will fix that.. good work and look forward to seeing many more.

Very nice box I am just finishing my first from her new book. It would have been done a week ago except for a litle accident. I treid to amputate my index finger by being stupid, lesson learned, painful but I learned. I will post pics when I have finished it.

Tim, I see you finished in time and it looks great. I’m sure your wife loves it. I’ve done probably a hundred bandsaw boxes and I learn something new from each one. Can’t wait to see your next one. Keep up the good work.

Tim, nice looking box, I like the wood combination. Bandsaw boxes are a lot of fun to make. I also have the 1/2” and 3/16 inch Timberwolf blades, they work great.

Seer, on my last project I got a little reminder to watch where the blade and fingers are at all times. My thumb was about an inch away from the blade but I must of been applying more pressure against the blade than I thought (I was in a tight turn with my 3/16” blade), the block slid forward as the blade emerged from the wood. Deep cut but fixable at home. I learned to slow the cut down to a snail pace as the blade comes out of the wood.

This is a gorgeous box and you chose a nice ood combination as well. I am sure your wife would have appreciated the box alone as a gift but including some jewelry with it was a great idea.
