I’ve finally gotten back in my shop. My last trip down to the shop reminded me that I’m extremely allergic to cocobolo. As it turns out I’m also mildly allergic to walnut now too.
I decided to make a little box from red oak scrap. I forgot how tough this stuff is to machine as it tears out something awful. I worked through it with some compromises in box size and a care free attitude.
It’s 5” x 2.5”. I didn’t have any hinges so I’ll get something for it another day. It was just nice to be down in the shop cutting wood.
No hand tools were harmed in the making of this little box. It’s entirely machined with jointer, planer, table saw, band saw and router table.
Cheers!

I’m just starting to get into this whole thing and our box is an ideal example of how to get me feet wet… nice job.
