Fat Little Box

Nice, Charlie! No crossword puzzles? I like the little box. I’m always losing guitar picks, but I think my son is stealing them.

Very nice. The fatness of it works for me.

You use guitar picks on your piano? Must be a Big Easy thing.

Hmmm, Steve, now that you mention it, maybe that is the problem with my playing.

Thanks, Mark. Good to see you here. I hope you are feeling better.

And a lovely end result.

That box is PHAT! (And Fat.) Very cool. I like the single hinge, I don’t think I have ever seen that before.

-- Dust collectors suck.

It’s just asking to be held in the hand. Nice contrast of colours. What’s the dark wood?

As my little niece said to me once, “She’s not fat, she’s just juicy”. Juicy box, Charlie.

Thanks, Guys!

Stewart, the dark wood is plain old american walnut.

Charlie -

Very cool! I love the scale and the “mono-hinge”. I agree with Stuart . . . it is begging to be picked up and held!

It looks about the right size for a deck of cards. I think it’s really neat, Charlie.

I like fat boxes !

Love it, it reminds me…of me!
short, fat and a little unhinged. Really do like it Charlie.

That’s it! an excuse to build another box. “Honey, I gotta have a place to keep my picks.” I hope mine comes out anywhere near as good as yours.

Nice little (well fat) box Charlie. Should look great on the piano. That may be why my oldest son can’t play the piano as well as his guitars. He’s been using the picks to play the guitar, instead of the piano.

I never knew that so many Lumberjocks were guitar pickers as well!

Thanks, everyone!

Not fat, pudgy. Great work as always Charlie.

Charlie – I’ve come back to this little box several times. I think I like it. :-)

Thank you, Betsy. As several people have alluded to this, I can testify that it really does feel very good in the hands… sturdy yet extremely smooth.

Nice brick, er box. Great job Charlie.
