beautiful work! I especially like the unique legs you made. I’m going to borrow you design on a box I’m going to build for a graduation present coming up…

I agree completely. Really nice. And those unique legs are a nice addition.

That is one beautiful looking box, really like the legs. I may try adding something like that to one of my boxes.
What a great job.

I just love all the boxes I see on this sight… I myself have just started getting into building boxes(last couple of years) none as fancy as I have seen here but doing my best. I was a finish/trim carpenter for a while and do some side work still but realy love working out of my shop. (when I have the time)
