2x4 contest entry, bread box

Neat

Gorgeous!

Pretty cool.

So, I've been looking at breadboxes and with money tight I can't afford one.. Now, let's see. $2 for a 2×4. Ha… Rick just has to give up a Tim Horton's coffee or two and it's paid for.

This is beautiful. Great idea and well done

very nice breadbox bryano ! how is the tambour made ?

$2 for a 2×4 eh? If only I could get 'em for that here!

Anyhow - to the box in question - that's quite a project and should hold a fair amount of bread. The tambour is something I've yet to have a go at. NIce one Bryano.

My wife would like one of these, can,t let her know they can be made from a 2×4. Excellent job.

Great job Bryano.

Not only does the box look amazing, but right out of the shop the things looks 100 years old. I really like the antique look on pieces like this.

Keep up the good work, and good luck.

This is a really nice project. Cherry is my favorite wood to work with and you did the wood proud.

Thanks for sharing.

That is really cool, nice work.

Sweet. That is a beauty for sure.
(you are going to have to answer questions on two projects, you sly dog).
More info on the tambour please. It came out fantastically nice.

Very nice !

Thanks for all the nice coments. the tambour door is made with 21 slats 5/8s wide by 3/16 thick with a 30 degree bevel on both sides of each slat. I would have liked to use cloth to fasten them together but i think that would be breaking the building materials rules. instead i used 40 small box hinges and a hot glue gun

40 hinges !!! Man you have patience.

I like it.

40 hot glued hinges? Keep that thing away from the stove

Very clever.

I had to use hot glue. I couldent find screws small enough to not damage the project.

Bryano - nice work, this is sweet! and I'll say it agian 40 hinges! man you are patient!

Thanks Shaun. I had to use a frameing square to keep the hinges straight, this helped speed up the process. My blog shows a little of the construction process.
