It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted so I wanted to share the latest box that I built with the help of a good friend and great metal worker. We’ve been working together on a number of projects lately. This time though we made a “making of” video of the box and handle (link below).
The box is made out of Redwood which was salvaged from my parents deck and has Maple accents and features a hand forged metal handle.
Hope you all like the box and the video!

Wow nice! I see you set the TS blade at an angle to make the cope profile. I did that on a box a while back but I make the box then splines then do the coping. I may have to try coping the long board first like you did, that must make sanding much faster. Thanks for sharing and great vid too.

Thanks for the comments! Yes I did set the angle on the TS, I wanted to have a more oblique curve for the box. This was the first time that I had done this operation so I was a little nervous running the board across the blade like that but it was pretty easy and I really like how the profile of the box turned out. Thanks for checking out the video!

Great looking box! I really like its design, and I especially like the metal handle. Keep up the good work!

Nice job, good looking project. Cutting the copes on the table saw is fun and provides a great look.
