Project Information

Well I got back in the shop after a year's absence and built a pair of almost twin boxes and taking it easy but it seems good exercise for my sore leg as nothing I have tried has worked ,therapy,doctor,massage etc .
Anyway this was a good challenge and I enjoyed myself and felt better for it .
These boxes are for a couple of guy's that helped me out over the last year and I hope they like them .
Material is maple and some Asian mahogany for the lid and trim and I lined the tray ,inside face of the lid and bottom with a upholstery material and just a little bit of bling and 10mm Soss hinges .
DIM. are 12w x 7d x 6h and finished with wipe on poly .
The building process is straight forward but a little time consuming but no special tools required other then
a seven degree fence on the miter saw that I made for this style of boxes that I call the 777 style because of the 7 deg. slope of the sides .
Any question that you may have I be glad to answer and I may try to make a video also but that will take a while and I will post it here.
Anyway I am glad to be back and hope I can continue .

Klaus / Kiefer

Beautiful boxes Klaus. Great comeback. Fine detail and nice wood combination. One of these days I'm going to try one of those tray handles.

Glad to hear your back in the shop, probably the best therapy you can get. Best wishes on a speedy recovery. And the 2 boxes (twins) are beautiful you sure haven't lost you woodworking touch. Thanks for sharing.
