I made a box to hold a scroll (specility box) 
Its ok I guess but I am not real happy with it 
I think I'll have to make a couple more and see if I can do better, or talk to a box master, I have heard there is an expert on making small boxes somewhere around Clayton?
anyway its got a sliding top and lined with felt.

Cool box. Earl. 
I can't for the life of me figure out what you don't like!!!
I am sure that I could find some "takers" around this household.
I like it!!

I wish I could do as well. Your fit looks great, miters tight, and lined to boot. A scroll would be proud to hang out in there. What's there not to like???

I think that you are thinking of da Box Master in Rocky Mount..Big Mike

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

Earl, That's a great looking box! I can only dream of making one that nice. If the next one is any better, I definitely want to see the pics.
Keep up the great work!
Take care,

Earl,
I'm having a hard time understanding what you could be unhappy with on this box. It's beautiful.

Earl you need to turn that  into a . That looks to be very well crafted to me. The lid is tight, the sides are 90 degrees, the finish looks great. Simple elegance with perfect function!
Be proud!

Really nice box, Earl. Looks like everything fits tight and finish is fine. I think there is an expert on making small boxes somewhere around Clayton AND Pikeville. | |
