Dietz Lantern box in pine, freehand routing

wow, it sure doesnt look freehanded!

Masterful work! I can’t believe that is freehand either! Very well done, sir!

Cheers!

Very nice box for an old lantern, I have heard of the Dietz, but all I have seen used are the Coleman, I still have
one in the old cardboard box it came in with spare mantles.

Great work! I would have thought that was done with a CNC machine!

Nice looking box, and of course, great routing job. I tried that , as so many others probably have, and it’s pretty difficult. The wood grain is what throws me off. How do you overcome that problem?

Nice job!

That’s freehanded??

Very, very impressive for a freehand routing job! It sure looks like a CNC at first glance. Well done.

Never would have thought the lettering was cut free hand. Awesome job. You have a steady hand.

Thank you, The grain does throw me sometimes, cutting cross grain is much easier then with the grain. I just have to really focus while cutting, go slow and do a lot of clean up work along the edges after the initial cuts. Cedar is easier to use then pine, I have found that out.
