With so few words 987, you spin a fair yarm!

Nice to see you exercising the laser other than frisbeeing Duke.

Thanks for the comments….Duke gets his farr share and more. Usually a very active dog, however tends to find a corner in the shop and sleep when he is out. Power tool noise he pays no attention. Leave him out of the shop if the laser is being used, even when the laser enclosure is closed.

Pretty box, and great craftsmanship on the corners. I had to look closer and it appears that you skipped on the finger joints. And it looks great.

The box was made for the "Big hank of yarn" and it does fill the box, as it gets used up of course the box is not quite as full.

You should be flagged for unnessecary fanciness! :)

My wife has some yarn.

This was one weekend's haul of clearance sales. So, I'm sure I need to make some boxes like this - but she often carries her projects with her, so maybe it needs a top and a one-handed carrying handle.

Knitters have the same trait as woodworkers, maybe worse, Never to much yarn, if its yarn it's not hoarding, etc.
Daughter has a couple of closets, old book case or two full of yarn. I can not say much as she would point to my wood rack in the shop and say "you too"

Not shown, the box has a handle recess in the back. simple cut out

Best part of it they can not comment to much on our wood hoard and tools or at least lessen it. ha

I saw the handle. (no pun intended). It's a dandy.

I was just thinking that my wife makes bags - and perhaps a hybrid product would work - with the box at the bottom and a bag at the top so with one hand she could carry the box and all the other knitting parphenalia and the work in process - with a fabric handle up top.

In any case, your box is lovely and I can't go wrong by just copying what you have done.
