Project Information

now it s 1% of the members doing 99% of the threads,projects, blogs and reviews.very sad all we have is a bunch of lurkers in the shadows.

I slapped together some pictures so my buddy Pottz has something to look at while others are probably vacationing somewhere cool. This is another version of my last project with different woods.

This is canarywood on the outside and tiger maple on the inside. The top and bottom are quartersawn white oak. I used walnut for the bands around both.

I'm not sure which I like better, but this one has a more useable space.

Thanks guys, I'm glad you like it.

Jim, all I did was glue 2 contrasting woods together and then cut my box/finger joints. I think it creates an interesting look. It ends up looking complicated, but it couldn't be easier. Give it a shot.

Nice two-layer finger joint. I had to look at it a few times before my brain said, "Oh, yeah! That's pretty simple!"

I may have to do a two-layer dovetailed corner next time I need a box for something.

Thank you pottz and LRM

LRM, that made me laugh because that is how I read it too. I went back and read it again. I know Pottz wouldn't ever mean it that way, he is always positive.

Thanks Dave, I bet that would look great. I haven't done any dovetail joints on any of my projects. I cut one by hand to see what it was like and it came out better than I thought it would. I've been struggling to find something I feel like building. Maybe dovetails will help me snap out of it.

Really like the joinery. Very neat way to make the finger joints pop.

John, I cut them by hand for all sorts of things. After doing 60-ish boxes, with four dovetailed corners on each, I feel like I'm fairly competent with dovetails now, but I still keep practicing. I think it was Chris Schwarz who said that everyone has some number of bad dovetail joints in them, and the only way to get them out of your system is to cut joints and let the bad ones out.

Anyway, I bet they'll look good coming from you. Have at it!

Like others, digging the box joints John! The layers leave a great edge detail. Keep it up, prove to Pottzy that he'd better get busy or be accused of lurking 8^)

the only friends Pottzy has is me and a pet duck
He has a pretend friend called corelz125, I say pretend as from all my attempts to verify their actual exixtance have failed.



I guess we all have "friends" we like to talk to I know I do and I can get some really deep and meaningful yap going, any time I want, I can also abuse them and tell them they are a knuckle head and all sorts of things like that and iit's all taken constructively and they attempt to improve but still manage to fall off the back of their truck and cut their fingers in the kitchen and worry everybody.

Now on the subject of lurkers , Gypsy's or whatever you want to call them there is member logged on for many years now,..... musta died and head butted the key board as they have never replied to myself or Pottzy

see what you make of him/her, ...... sorajo_cz

But I guess thats not as bad as somebody pinching my sander I wanted to donate to Mike ACG
