1st bandsaw box

Very cool. I’ve always wanted to try one of these but have been a little intimated by all the nice ones i see.

Mike.. this is wonderful. I love the look of the wood (fantastic picture by the way).
Well done. Well done. Well done

I’m like Ron, I’ve always been too intimidated to try, but since the old lathe took a whiz I have to think of other ways to burn the time. I even have a nice kiln for clay my brother is donating to the cause. His mother in law used to run a shop in Flint,MI. and like everyone in Flint she was murdered 2 years ago and she sold clay or porcelain objects and leather coats and other leather goods from her shop (you can guess what kind of group that drew in Flint) anyway my younger bro at xmas said he would get it for me and he said its quite large. So watch out Dan I’m on your turf now. mike

Great job for first try. I wouldn’t know where to even start one of these.

You’ll have to start a Claykilnjocks website next. LOL

Great stuff Mike. Way to jump in there and go for it. Very, very nice. I agree with Deb that the photos are nice too.

Mike Great Job. I’m going out to the shop and make a bandsawn box. Great job.

You got me pumped up.

The natural form of the walnut log is very nice. I can see this by the fireplace holding matchsticks… (as long as you’re careful not to throw it into the fire.) Good work.

-- It's not that a craftsman never makes mistakes, he just makes it look like it.

Mike, this is nice box. I’m planing to do something similar but simpler for the 1th time.

great box Mike, I would like to try one myself but dont know where to start, Can you use green wood as you do in turning?

-- Just another day in paradise.

The difficulty in using green timber is a drawer which fits today may not fit later on!
