That is very nice box.

Nice job, Mike. Now that you have a waiting list, you should be able to up the price. :-)

Nice box. I’ve never used spray on felt, how’d it work for you?

-- When you give someone a chance it may well be their last.

The spray on felt works great. I forgot to tell you the finish which was a few coats of danish oil some scrapeing and then a few coats of schellac with steel wooling in between coats. thanks Pat and everyone else. mike

Nice box Mike! Where did you find the spray on felt?

-- Gary, East TX -- The longest journey begins with a single step.

Mike glad to see you got it finished. Great looking box.

Nice job.

Nice box Mike. But I want to give you a warning these things have been proven to be addictive.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

I just hope it passes the “Mans” inspection we do know who I’m talking about, don’t we. The spray on felt is called Don Jer it is a combination of paint and ground up plastic with this tube that looks like a Kalidescope that you put the ground up plastic in after its painted, the tube has 4 or 5 little holes in one end and as you pump it it sprays the stuff all over the paint, and it feels just like felt, you can’t tell the difference. of course their both the same color.Thanks everyone mike

Go get ‘em, Mike. If you have got orders for more from the family, and you pass inspection from the man in the mirror then you done good.

-- "Bordnerizing" perfectly good lumber for over a decade.

I’m not talking about that ‘man’ I’m talking about the man down under who just love little boxes. Now you know who I mean.

-- Mike. Profisher50@yahoo.com

I dunno, Mike…. The man you refer to (I won’t say his name, but it is spelled with the letters D-O-N) has not commented on my last few boxes, so I’ll be really jealous if he comments on yours. lol

i think the man has been busy building a website for the BIG MAN . i cant speak for the man but im saying your box is mighty fine mike ! great job

-- if you aint the lead dog the scenery never changes

I know I left him a message down there on his website to help him out. Remember he asked all of us to. mike

Jockmike, there’s something real special about a first box.

There’s an honest simplicity about this one that will stand the test of time. It’s one of those creations you see on the American Antiques Road Show that was made 150 years ago and worth a fortune.

You’ve done well and at the same time, fed my love of small wooden boxes.

PS: Charlie, sorry about not commenting on your beautiful boxes previously, but before commenting on Mikes little beauty, I went to your project page and commented on those I had missed.

Wow. I feel like I’ve been Knighted. You may all call me Sir Wurmy from now on. LOL. Thank you Don, how very special.

-- Mike. Profisher50@yahoo.com

Sir Wurmy a very good looking box.

-- Andy Stark

Mike Mike Mike Mike … I like it !!! cool …....

-- ..... art for lifes sake

I like where you’re going with those legs… gets me to thinking. Good job Mike, thanks for sharing.

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

Very nice Mike. The fun projects that bring in the requests are worth more than any prize.
