Any Box - Not Just

Very clever, indeed, Russel!

I threw one of my old boxes up as an entry, knowing it would never cut it. I was right…. I’ve been outclassed several times in the first week!

I have to say, though, my first thought when I looked at the middle photo was of the old television show “The Addams Family” and its character “Thing”, a disembodied hand that came out of a box just like this one. <g>

Charlie, I hadn’t even thought about the Addams Family, but now that you mention it, it does have that look to it. Of course that means I’ll have to keep an eye on it to make sure that nothing does come out.

Neat little box!

That’s a neat box. I didn’t expect it to open that way!

Now that’s a different angle on the box lid and drawer. Good thinking Russel. I might have to steal that idea in the future!

Congratulation on finishing the box Russel. It’s a great design. All sort of possibilities thinking that way. A good job.

LOL . . . full contact competitive woodworking.

It does look a little spooky . . . nice job though.

-- The significant problems we face cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them

Thanks for the look-sees and comments folks. The idea for the box came from the various sliding top boxes that have been posted here. The idea for the top I stole from another box that was posted here (though I cannot seem to find it at the moment). I thought it was a novel way of doing things.

Zuki—-I hope woodworking is the one “competitive” undertaking that is NOT “full contact”...Lol…

Nice job Russel, a box in a box. I love it.

Very nice Russel,

This is sure a splendid use for a piece of Cedar, just lying around.
