I did trivets last year, maybe napkin holders this yr. Maybe table centerpiece/candle holder. I have done boxes, picture frames cutting boards, I think kitchen items are pretty popular. |

I have made about 30 boxes over the past two or three months. They are various sizes and different types of wood and are the mitered corner type with the exposed miter keys. This experience has allowed me to set up accurately all of the jigs that I need to make this type of box. I’m in the process of making nine more right now and they make really nice gifts. They also have small lift out trays under the lids. These are lift lid boxes primarily because I can’t afford any decent brass hinges right now and I’m not going to go to the trouble of making a nice box and then use cheap brass plated hinges on it. helluvawreck aka Charles -- If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. Henry David Thoreau |
