    Yup, torsion boxes are strong!!

    If you didn't already know, torsion boxes are very strong and in the case of the one I just built, extremely light too!!! I built the 8' long X 3" thick X 14" wide torsion box below for the article I am working on. I made it from very thin, 1/8" Masonite hardboard, some even weaker thin peg...

    Christmas Boxes

    A few weeks ago I asked for advice about an eye popping finish for curly maple that would not be too yellowing. I've completed (Christmas Eve) several boxes and had to give them as gifts before taking pictures. I did have a "practice" box left over and here it is. Sides are Paduk, top is...

    BS boxes by L K Ventura

    I will be the first to admit I am cranky after a couple of weeks of house arrest waiting on surgery next Tues. Even so the following kind of thing really irritates me. "Surfacing" "The care you put into surfacing the stock determines how well your block lamination will turn out....... First...

    Three Boxes

    Well, I finished the 1968 KLH speakers. They are almost 2ft high and the walnut veneer was looking sad. After the usual process of agonizing over what product to use, I chose gel varnish. Easy to apply and no tinting or staining was required. :icon_thum And a couple pixs of reclaimed cherry...

    Free Boxes for eBay Sales

    Heard about this a month back or so from a co-worker ... you can get free boxes from USPS to sell things on eBay. A nice deal ... especially considering the price of boxes as the post office! http://ebaysupplies.usps.com/

    Within the last week or so, (unless I had a SRM) some of you posted pictures of some beautiful boxes that had differing woods in the lids. If you would be so kind as to send me a message and remind me where I can find those pics, I would be grateful. I want to try to build for LOML a couple...
