Box Making 101: September 2014
http://boxmaking101.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 29, 2014. A woodworking teacher asked if I could help his class understand how to make the tray lift mechanism for Lucy's Jewelry box in my book Simply Beautiful Boxes. So I did the drawing here to help readers determine the exact size and arrangement of the parts. In order, left to right are shown, box side, tray side, back support arm, front support arm, and groove cut in box lid ends. Click on the image to be able to see it in a larger size. Make, fix and create. The start of boxes.

Box Making 101: rabbetted bottoms
http://boxmaking101.blogspot.com/2014/11/rabbetted-bottoms.html
Sunday, November 23, 2014. I am working on boxes for Freobel's gifts 5, 5b and 6. One of the easiest ways to install a plywood bottom in a box is by using a router table and rabbeting bit to route the space for it to fit. Unfortunately, most rabbeting bits are large and while they can be adjusted to cut a small rabbet for small boxes, that requires adding a large bearing which keeps it from routing into the corners.

Box Making 101: April 2015
http://boxmaking101.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 1, 2015. A reader had trouble applying finish to boxes: ". I can do the woodwork ok. It seems good to me. Finish. I have just sanded off the second finish because I had finger prints, and runs over the top. The top looks good, but sides are bad. I put 3 coats of tung oil, but left finger prints on sides. Tried spray shellac and got runs. I just put on 1 coat of tung off and then if all looks OK I plan just to wax. Make, fix and create. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). For more about box making.

Saturday, September 13, 2014. The start of boxes. Walnut and linden resawn and ready for final planing. This time of year, I usually receive an order from Appalachian Spring Gallery that sets my box making in motion. It came yesterday. I've spent enough time at school relocating my school wood shop, that my classes are going OK and my students are having fun and learning. Make, fix and create. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
