Thanks Harry
That was a great pictorial explanation. Now I hope others will see there is no need for the bandsaw to shape the outside then use sanding machine to produce the finish. Routing the edge will produce a better surface and also consistant thickness to the sides. (Subject to producing a neat 'Male' template) The male template (PLUG) can be produced with the router once you work out the off-set and it will fit neatly into the base of the box. Excellent job with the inlay on the top of the box.
