Great work!

Gary,
I absolutely love it. I really like most things art deco. The grill on the front reminds me of the many cool automobile grills and hood ornaments from that time period. Thank you for sharing. You are an inspiration.

-- Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember it didn't work for the rabbit.

Gary, this is really great. The grill is outstanding. The 3rd photo knocks me dead, excellent. Thanks for the how-to info too!

Gary, I love this box! That looks like it must have been a blast to design and build. Great Job! Thanks for sharing it.

I was looking for the tuning and volume knobs, Gary! Great inspiration—I love art deco, too.

Great work again Gary, where do you come up with all these ideas?

-- Tom D

Great work. Consider some of the design ideas stolen :-)

Gary,

This is another gorgeous box and an outstanding piece of work. Your attention to detail, as usual, is outstanding.

Thanks for the post. I enjoyed looking at this one.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Gary, if you haven’t written a book yet , START. I’d bet it would be a best seller among us LJ’s. Your work continues to mesmerize and inspire us. I began printing up all my favorite pics from here for quick reference while in the midst of my builds. And I even have a several hundred pics screen saver on my MAC. Thank you for continually raising the bar (clamp) ha ha.

Gary,

Very cool design and nice execution.

The Art Deco Inspiration is nice. The details are very striking but not over bearing. Good design sensibility.

I want to thank you all for your kind comments. I appreciate them all.

I don’t think that this will be my last Art Deco piece, but I will have to wait for the inspiration to strike me again.

That has a nice look to it! How did you go about designing this piece? Much planning? Or a take it and run approach? Curious about your plan and build process in general.

Another awesome design, Gary. This is really nice.

Dorje – The design started as an experiment based on this how to blog:

http://lumberjocks.com/jocks/GaryK/blog/4527

Look farther down toward the bottom of the comments and you will see a picture of some dowels installed
after the cuts are made. This got me thinking that they don’t necessarily have to be dowels, so I came up with a variation as explained above.

After that front piece was done and my experiment worked out, I thought “Art Deco” and just built a box around it. I guess you can say that I am in my experimental phase of woodworking testing new concepts.

Everything I’m doing now is new and untested, for me anyway.

Thanks for the link back to the origin…

Very cool Gary!

Gary:

Another great box. You are spreading out with all of your saw cuts and inlayed wood. Another great design

Great Design. I looked at the other post you mentioned and I like that process. As soon as I catch up on some other things, I may have to give that a try. You’ve got to do it in order to learn it.
