Hi Greg,

This is a wonderful piece. It is great for a first box. The finish looks outstanding as well.

I just put my Powermatic into service in late December and have been looking for something to do on it. I will have to put this on my to do list.

very nice work. Thanks for the post.

Wow, dead on Donna’s. I just googled her and found her website. Great info there. Bill said he’s got the book, I just might have to look into it myself. I’ve butchered my first 2 attempts at bandsawing boxes. I really just dove in without a plan though. This box looks like a good starter though. Did you find it challenging or pretty str8 forward? Thanks.

hey jeff,

this is a good first box. lot’s of curves, not too difficult and a good opportunitly to use a nice piece of wood. just get a book with patterns, i like this one, photocopy the size you want and attach it to the wood. it’s important to make the right cuts in the right order and to use a blade that can make the radius turns without binding. after the cuts it’s just a bunch of sanding. all the bandsaw books outline the procedure, in fact, there are many available at the library.

good luck,

-- Greg, CT

Great lines on that box. Looks very “touchable”. Nice job. Thanks for sharing.
