What a neat project to go along with your other projects … I gotta tell you that I made about 20 or so band saw boxes before discovering that entering with the grain works so well … The learning curve you know …
Each BS box you make will be a bit better than the last one … so with your head start, you will be making some really outstanding boxes ‘cause your ahead of the game already.

Thanks! Feel free to borrow the idea. I created a full tutorial over on my site, but I got the pattern here on this forum.

Thanks and I look forward to making more boxes. Although, I think I would like to step up to a full size bandsaw. I did this one on my bench top bandsaw. Even with a new blade, it felt like the bench top may not have the power I need. Or it could always be the operator LOL

Thanks for the comments! I’ve been on the IAP site for several months now. A great site for pen turners, I agree. I started out mainly turning pens, but now I want expand into other woodworking projects.
