fun bandsaw/scroll saw box No-picture-s No-picture-s Click the pictures to enlarge them

I had a bit of mischief one day and decided to see how small a “bandsaw” box I could make. This is the Minnow in miniature. As you can see it is to small for even a nickel. I actually used the scroll saw for most of it – used a pencil eraser to guide the wood through the blade. I did take the time to flock the inside – used a Q-tip to paint on the adhesive. This is an old project—- just updating my projects page.

Very clever! Its great that you paid such attention to detail as far as flocking, etc.

I might try to outdo you with a smaller one, he he ;)

Well done.

I wish I could make bandsawn boxes that size, that size is very popular here in Australia.

Great Betsy. Missed this one when it was first posted. A great job. If you still have the box could you post a couple of more pictures. Move the insides away so we can see the outer piece and then one with the drawer in please.

Thanks

Jiri – actually this box was pretty easy. I cheated – and used soft mahagony. Not sure I could have done it as well with something like oak. On the whole basic bandsaw boxes are pretty easy if you take your time and do a good job with the saw. It’s when you get into multiple complex curves that the real challenge starts. Hence – I do mostly easy boxes because they are quick and fun.

Karson – I still do have the box. I’ll try to post new pictures soon.

Thanks for looking.
