My first box...

For your first box, it came out very nice!

Yours looks way better than my first box. Very nice job.

Exceptionally neat box, and beautiful choice of woods, they go so well together.

Jim, great looking box. I’m trying to gear up to do something like that as well. I really like the idea of mitered corners with splines, such as you did. What was your basic method for cutting the miters? Table saw with sled, hand saw with miter box, etc?

Yes, it was a table saw sled.

Nice , did you cut the top from the bottom or make it seperatly.

I cut the top from the bottom Richard.

So far I have made 5 or 6 boxes. Each time they get worse, but I learn. Any way if it’s ur first I gotta be killing u.

Yep I really think some people are Streching it a bit when they CLAIM this is is my first ever whatever it is. Maybe the first one that came out good enough to show ? But I havent even got to that point yet so . :)

Sorry Mahini and Richard…......it was the first. Now there are some other things I have screwed up plenty on.

Jim , I was just wishing I could make a first something that comes out this good.
