| Registered User Jr. Member |  My first box this is my first box, and a (late) Mother's day present for my mother. It was quite a learning experience...especially in finishing. The box is all poplar and as you can see, I left the inside unstained. Also, i have not yet put the four small mitered pieces that will hold the glass in from the underside and cover up the bit of unfinished wood you can see in the 2nd picture...the shellac is curing on those as i write this. The box is finished with water-based "rosewood" stain, and clear shellac and paste wax -- smooth as glass! Last edited by RStorment; 05-26-2006 at 03:46 PM. |

| Registered User Forum Geek  | RStorment I am sure your mom will love getting this for Mother's Day, even though late. It's really beautiful. I love the stain and now I want to buy some water-based rosewood stain and finish one the way you have, with shellac and paste wax, too. Also, I have a box ready to finish that I could put glass in like you have and the four small mitered pieces you mentioned have given me an idea of how to keep the glass in. I looked all over the stores for something and couldn't find anything small enough. Thanks for sharing. Sandy |

| Forum Contributer Supreme Forum King  | Nice job RStorment ------------------------- Sandy see tip below ▼ Here's a tip how to hold the glass in place that looks great and it works great. Rubber Glass Panel Retainers Fits into the 1/8" slot created by the slot cutter bit and securely holds the glass in the panel. Sold in 25 FT. lengths. Just cut to size and miter the ends and push it into place,quick and easy. Plus it will come out if you need to replace the glass. I use it all the time for glass doors. http://www.sommerfeldtools.com/products.asp?id=16 Bj

| Forum Contributer Supreme Forum King | Hi Sandy Yes, but look at it this way,you now have a bit you can use to put in splines,small biscuits,Rubber Glass Panel Retainers,box joints,dado slot for small box base,and unlike the 1/8" router bit this one will Not break off easy, plus many other router jobs... Have a good weekend Bj
