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.

Neat looking! I like it.

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

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.

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.

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. :-)

-- You can't get a hug from Facebook.

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 box, Charlie… I think this box looks just right.

Why are you playing piano with a guitar pick? And why not a wooden hinge? Kidding aside, I love neat boxes like this.

I particularly like the one hinge design would never have thought of that with a metal hinge, although I’ve done it several times with wood this is a nice little porky box well done Alistair
