Hey Blackie! That is way cool!! I really look forward to seeing your boxes! I bet it will be a hit at the fire station!
And I bet you get more orders when they see that little gem!

Thank you both, Sheila actually she’s only picking one, I’m going to let her choose which one she wants, the other I’ll just market. :)

I just recently created these and I think I’m leaning toward the cedar as my favorite out of the two.

Blackie- difficult to pick a favorite since they are both just great. Excellent design and production. Congrats.

Very cool project. This would be perfect for a grandson (but I don’t have one) or any boy as I think all boys love firetrucks. What are the square notches in the back of the drawers? (or is this a secret?). I like the red cedar one best. How big are these?

GF the cutouts are to hold the drawers in place, keeping them from turning in the cavity, The part that was cut out is CA’ed to the back wall inside of the cavity, I’ve made several boxes with this design but tonight after rethinking this design, I’m going to change it up and reframe from the the complete circle cuts and making a flat spot on the bottom of the drawer.

Measurements are 6” x 10 1/2” x 3”

Very Cool, What blade do you like to use? It looks very interactive as a toy, major coolness besides the excellent appeal of the design.

What a great idea for a boy of any age! Your creativity and skill produced 2 fine boxes.

Radiuswoodguy the blade is a 3/16 14 TPI I have my blades made by a local business, his blades have been true and they don’t hit my pocket book near as hard as timberwolf do. Thanks everyone for your nice comments and viewing.
