Default Cool Box.. Not Mine..

I thought some of you including our friend Harry would like to see this box that was posted on the Oz site. It's got this neat inlay pattern in the top that I can't help thinking the guy used some templates like Tom & Harry. The person that posted did not do the work. Another thing that I absolutely love is the little cabriolet legs. Sweet box!

Hey Corey,

I will go ahead and reply since Harry is not up yet and Bj is off on a goose chase on router bits and warranties or something like that

I saw that box over on Oz this morning and I can assure you that is immediately hit my inspiration file I love those little feet and hope I can figure out how they are made. The inlay is excellent work and the finish 2nd to none.

Glad you posted it over here for everyone to enjoy as well.

Hi Bob

Just me the wild goose hunter, that's a one fine looking box , the legs are made with molding that you can make on the router table and cut on a 45deg. then glued up,,,,and then put them in place.... it's neat trick...

Just a little note about the warranties,, I made a call and spoke with the guy at Rockler and he said come by and I will take a look at them BUT it's like a warranties on tires in a way,,,once you use them up you down get a free one.. to replace it, BUT I'm going down on Wed. just for kicks...cheap SOB I am..

Hi Bj,

Keep us posted on the bit exchange, should be interesting what you find out.

On the box legs, do you have any idea on the bit he used?

Thanks for the helpful reply as always buddy.

Good info on the legs Bob. I can see that now it is mitered. I was thinking it was a mini cabroilet leg. Looks neat!

Hi Bob

Well do on the Rockler trip

I have used both types of bits below to made them..

They both work great for that job, I make them about 12" long then rip to size and then cut to the miter...with just a bit of back cut, that's to say
1 deg. off with the chop saw, like a coping cut in a way..

Boy O Boy, that's a BOX, I doubt that I've reached that standard ..............yet!
Bj. I'm intrigued by the feet, how about a quick shoot on making them, there will be lots of interest.
I'm sure when Tom sees it he will have templates designed in the flick of an eye.

Hi Harry

I may do that,, they are about on the same order as the link below, that is the little corner blocks but they are a bit harder to make. (corner blocks) but they must fit the same way, no gaps....not glue joint showing...

It is cool, when I saw that I never thought of a molding bit. Harry, it's probably one of those things that you tell us is easier than it looks, right?
