I work for Snap-on Tools and decided to make a bandsaw box out of the letter “S” in our logo. The bottom wrench shaped drawer was the most difficult part. I had a problem when it was done because the “S” is italicized and the box tended to tip over! That is why I had to add the walnut base. The box itself is made out of Jatoba and finished with Tung oil and paste wax.

That is SO cool. I’m a SnapOn guy but I can’t afford all I want. For a mechanic, this is the gift of the century.

What a nice looking box. I have to know, what blade did you use to cut the bottom wrench drawer? I use a 3/16” 10 TPI, but there is no way I could make that tight turn. Have you done others like this?

Do you mind giving me a coupon for a free Snap-On tool?
Nice project though.

Thanks for the comments.
Larry – very astute observation! I debated that drawer for many hours and ended up cutting the “tongue” out of the body of the box along with the wrench drawer. I then cut the tongue out of the drawer and glued it back into the body. By using a fine saw blade the line is almost invisible. The box was much too thick to make this cut with a scroll saw.
You guys and gals won’t tell anyone I cheated – will you?

The wrench makes this one go. Thanks for sharing the concept. Hope this is a hit sitting on your desk at work.

Really cool little box. My dad is a Snap-On dealer in Georgia. I’ll definately have to steal this one.

Most bandsaw boxes don’t do much for me, but I really like this one. It’s probably the Snap-on connection and the nifty wrench drawer. Snap-on has been tops for as long as I can remember . . .

That’s a clever design. I wonder what other logos would make good bandsaw boxes.

I have always thought about making a Bandsw box, But this is the one I have to do! Being a proud owner of mostly all Snap-on tools here at work and home I have to makeone of these. This is very cool.

Thanks for the nice comments. I was asked by some people here at Snap-on to make them in bulk for retirement gifts but I said they would have to be around $300 each because of the time involved in each one. They changed their mind.
