Small boxes

Cool Boxes…
Have you thought of making them out of thinner stock?
... then you could make twice as many! LOL

They would tend to be a little lighter too… (50% less) LOL

Do you have a Band saw… to resaw the stuff? ... etc.

Joe, they’re only 1/2” stock… I could go a bit thinner to about 3/8 at the thinnest, and I do have a bandsaw… these were of small stock I had on hand. Palletwood most likely, I honestly don’t recall as they’ve been in ‘raw form’ for a few years, in a cardboard box. I just grabbed whatever I had on hand, and cut them to size from whatever the board would let me, trying to maximize each piece.

the Cherry with the maple top is 5” long, and 3” wide.
the smaller ‘cubes’ are about 3” on a side…

When I build some more, I’ll see what I can do about thinner stock. I have a ton of wood on the racks, so I”m not too terribly worried about running out.

Thanks though! & thanks Don! Glad you liked them!

They were a fun ‘kick start’ out in the shop for a few days.

I still have two more oak boxes in the works… one needs to be glued up , the other is waiting on my muse to strike again. I have it planed to thickness, and the groove for the bottom has been cut, but it is still in board form at this point.

Nice boxes.

Ned,

I like your boxes…

The only thing that caught my eye was the thickness of the sides vs the size of the top area of the box…
... looked a little Thick-heavy… Golly, with those being 1/2” sides, I think 5/16 would look better…
That’s just me…

It’s more up to you… If you like the proportions, then that’s the way it is… LOL
