Nice looking box. How large is it? It looks perfect for your cuban cigars.

Trout, PRACTICE!!!

Your practice box is way better than I could hope to achieve after years of scrolling!! It's just beautiful!!

Trout,
Now that is one of the nicest mouse traps I have ever seen ..... But how do you get them to crawl in ?

Seriously, that is sweet !

I'm learning how to scroll but I can't build for squat !
....nothing ever matches up

I'm impressed ....good job man !

Looks very nice indeed Trout! Next you'll be doing shadow portraits....LoL

Trout · 03-14-2007, 04:02 AM

the box is 7 inches long, 5 1/2 wide and 2 3/4 deep...
as for it being a practice piece, I had a nice looking piece of oak that I had left over from my handcuff project and when I saw Gill's post this weekend about her boxes I thought I would give it a try..
there are a couple screw ups but you wouldn't know it by looking at it...

I'm giving this box to a buddy of mine who is having a 50th birthday party next weekend.

This is going to be the 3rd piece I have given away this week...

It's lovely, Trout. How did you cut the finger joints?

It's a nice box, did you scroll cut the fingers? Is the top plywood wrapped in oak, or a solid board?

PuzzledMoose · 03-14-2007, 11:37 AM

Very nicely done, Trout.

Daryl185 · 03-14-2007, 11:42 AM

very nice indeed Trout, that is some very good quality work, your joinert is very good with what appear to be good tight joints, did you by chance use a jig to do them and if so was it a home made jig that you would be willing to share?

keep up the awesome work
