That's one beautiful box Bj., BUT, please humour me and trim some of the overhang from the bottom, in my usual HUMBLE opinion, it will make my score of 9/10 into 10/10!

YOWZA, that is very cool Bob. I like it a lot. Mitered corners I take it? Neat stuff Bob!

Thanks Guys

" Mitered corners" Yep, that's the hard part of the box, the base and the top are made about the same ,that's to say stock has been removed so the sides can lock into the base and the top can just drop in the pocket made by the frame.

Harry

I may trim the base just a bit, maybe by 1/4" all the way around but I need to make some feet 1st. so I see what it looks like with some shoes on it 1st.

Plus I was thinking of some 1/8" molding around the box base to dress it out just a bit,,,,still in a working mode..... LOL LOL the box is made with 1/2" thick Walnut....and making 1/8" bead molding can be a bit tricky with Walnut ....

Well it's done,,,it's just a box,I think the Boss is going to put her collection of new quarters in it...she now has them all over the place,in jars,little plastic bottles,in a USA map for quarters ,etc.

**challagan** · 11-05-2007, 11:01 PM

Awesome Bob, that's a beautifully made box from the carvings down to the construction of the box etc. The walnut is really nicely figured. Nice work Bob and thanks for all the pics. Bet the wife is happy with it!

Corey

**harrysin** · 11-06-2007, 04:09 AM

What a difference Bj., it's now a FULL 10/10, a job well done.

**bobj3** · 11-06-2007, 08:16 AM

Thanks Corey and Harry

Corey , I think you'er right the Boss started to play it on the kitchen table and she almost always will just say that's nice bud, but this time she put her hands on it, and said that's nice BUD and very smooth

but I think I'm going to put my silver dollars in it. and I said do want a bigger on for your quarters, she said no I don't want to mix them up..(new one and old ones)

Harry

Did you see the cut off job and the 1/8" bead molding...tricky to do...but it looks OK I think but you know Walnut, it likes to split and I did get one right on the end of one of the bead moulding parts it's hard to see but I see it...I tried to match the end grain of the base with the bead molding and that was the error I made...I should have made all the molding using the long grain way... (strait grain)
