I'm not going to make anymore of that one, It was a one time thing.

BUT it would be nice to see what you come up with, playing with some ones picture is not my bag .

now if it did it for money well I would do the work but a freebe no way, plus it's fun for me and not a job and I don't want to make them for sale .

OK... I won't waste time on doing if you're not going to use it... (just picture it gray or lt. gray...)

If decide on the pic you want, & it needs retouching, let me know...

The router sign appears to have a solid background already... unless you want it a different color... (??) The pic at the top of this forum page??

Later...

Hi Joe

That's the one it looks clean but it's not, or to say it's not a clean snapshot
Note the letters in the forground and Bob with a black eye that will carve out like a hole or to say low spot under his eye.

see below

Bob,

Maybe Mark, Bob, or Rick, etc. have a larger, better quality picture??

That picture is really too small to enlarge and expect to get any decent quality left of it.

BJ, the package arrived today, thaink you very much! The crack in the walnut spread in shipping, almost 3/4 of the length of the board. I am going to carefully split it the rest of the way and then glue it. I am confident I can hide any trace when done. I think this will be a very nice box when done. Thanks again!

Hi Mike, you'er welcome

Glad you got it

,, dam wood is always trying to come apart, it's never dry or dead.

Do you have some thick super glue ,if so I have used it and it works well in cracks.

But you may want to put in a wooden sq. dowel pin, from the back side, that's to say a 1/8" wide slot and about 1/4" deep and about 1" long and then press the pin into the slot with a bit of glue on it, (across the grain) one made from Walnut would work well, but trying to open the split/crack is always nasty, just will not go back the same way as it was.

I'm looking forward to seeing a snapshot or two after you have it done

Hi Mike

It's going on 15 days,,, still in a hold pattern waiting to see your box with the walnut lid.

I'm not procrastinating BJ, I've just been too busy putting out lifes small fires to work on it. After a 3 week battle with chronic bronchitus I'm still dealing with a severe sinus infection and my second batch of antibiotics, a second trip to the Dr and a search for a new job. I'm winning slowly; tonight I am putting together a roller cabinet with the right tools for a new job I start tomorrow. Thursday night I am doing a router demonstration for the Livingston County Woodworkers Guild, and I spent a great deal of time preparing for it so both new and seasoned woodworkers would enjoy it. One of the topics will be the new CNC home routing machines both home built and the CarveWright/CompuCarve designs. AxlMyk and other members of the group will get to see the excellent results you got with my photo. Rick will be doing a Shop Talk audio blog with the group while I am there.
A bit more time and you will see the results, be patient.

Hi Mike

Ok, will do....my brother has had that nasty bronchitus for about 3 weeks and it's nasty stuff , his nose is running all the time and like you he has been on antibiotics all that time with not luck yet...the doc took him off the antibiotics and put him on ibuprofen and that helped alot....

Have fun with the show and good luck with the new job

Bj

Hi Mike

It's now going on 45 days

I know the new job is holding you back but now would be a good time to get that box done

so you can enter it in Bob's contest ,but it maybe just a bit late but I just now recalled the lid today ..

Hi BJ, Doyle here.
Looking good, one question; is the computer part easy enough for anyone?
Take care.
