Ballot Box

I vote that this is a really nice ballot box.

Looks like the ones they used in Florida during the Bush/Gore election. hehehehe…

Nice job! I’m sure your dad was very pleased and very proud! I agree that it probably would have looked better with thinner stock. Some time ago, I found these guidelines at http://woodworkstuff.net/KnipWall.html for stock thickness vs box size:

Less than 16” perimeter, use 5/16” thick stock.
From 16” to 30” perimeter, use 3/8” thick stock.
From 30” to 50” perimeter, use 1/2” thick stock.
Over 50” perimeter up to ‘full size furniture’, use 5/8” thick stock.

Anyway, great job and a nice looking box.

Very Nice! That look smooth enough to touch from here.

rivergirl, you got one wicked sense of humor, I like that.

Jim,

Thanks for the link and the info.

I have a couple more projects and I will be posting them. I liked to document them all in case I ever found the time to put together a website. Now that I have found LJs I am all set.
