Face cedar from Rod

RAS from Travis
BS set-up by FredP
Getting me started with my 1st BS Mike Davis

Hours of sanding and polishing by ME !! :mrgreen:

Learned a lot with this one . Not enough though as I started another one today and ruined it by the 3rd cut ! :BangHead: Got a long ways to go but it is a decent start I think

This whole woodworking thing is turning out to be an amazing journey and it's all because of you folks :eusa_clap

This site ROX !!!!!

Thanx for lookin' :mrgreen:

 

[PChristy]

WOW! Robert that looks great - You are turning out some great things - keep up the good work

 

[JackLeg]

Bro, if that's your "first attempt" then you should be proud! Knowing you, it'll only get better. Your ARE the "arteest!"

:gar-Bi

 

[DaveO]

Wow Robert that's awesome. When you put your mind to do something and enlist your network of friendly help, I don't think that there isn't anything that you can't do spectacularly.

Nice BS Box dude :thumbs_up

 

[TracyP]

:notworthy::notworthy: You are Awesome!!!!!

 

[toolferone]

Nicely done Robert! Lois does a great job in her book and it looks like you got it down. One you have one box done then the others are all the same, just different sizes and shapes.

Yup hours of sanding is about right. Do you have a oscillating spindle sander? Big big help on these boxes.

 

[Ken Massingale]

Very nice box Robert, first or 100th. Well done.

 

[Terry]

Robert, that is a wonderful job and a beautiful job of finishing. You can be proud of the piece. Keep up the good work Robert.:icon_thum Terry

 

[woodArtz]

Great job Robert. Looks like a lot of fun. :eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap

 

[skeeter]

Nice looking box. Great job and the group project thing is pretty cool.

 

[ScottM]

From now on I am just going to call you:

SUPER BRO!!!!


You have the magic touch......:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap

 

[FredP]

man ur catchin on to this woodworkin stuff eh? great work robert!:icon_thum

 

[Bas]

Robert, that's awful. The two wood species don't complement each other, the grain is awful, the fit and overall design stink, sanding job is so-so, and the finish is downright terrible. Plus your photography sucks.

(Yup. I just declared today Opposite Day )

 

[Mike Davis]

Bas,

Way to bring in a touch of reality! :rotflm:

Robert,

When you gonna come teach me how to do that?

Honestly, I've never made a bandsaw box. Would like to try sometime.

You really nailed that one!

 

[nightshade]

:icon_thum It is BEAUTIFUL :icon_thum I wish I was as talented as that. I really like the curved shape, it's unque. Keep up the good work and throw some pointers my way:mrgreen:

 

[bluewing92]

Wow, That is great for your 1st box. I wish my 1st would have looked half as good. Keep up the good work, it is habit forming and lots of fun.

 

[sapwood]

Looking good as always, Robert :icon_thum
Put that minnow on a No. 1 hook and you will have the catch of the day!

Sweet box, great job! Just don't tell your buddies you have to go home and wax your box, it didn't go over too well and my wife wasn't too happy when it got back to her.

 

[CaptnA]

great box!
I LOVE the sense of community in that one little package -
people that aren't part of it couldn't understand, but would love to if they knew!
LOML was playhing in the boxes of wood I've had for ages and recently got moved down to the shop and came across an old bandsaw box I started umpteen years ago. As I recall it was in a "WOOD" magazine issue from long ago. Little clamshell thing. I made several and gave them away and this one never quite got finished. She keeps eyeing it.... inspiration/challenge/ annoyance who knows? we'll see what happens with it lol
