I made my sis a pen box for xmas, posted here:

http://www.routerforums.com/show-n-t...html#post62065

For her birthday I made her a matching inbox. The joints actually came out better on this go around. I guess it’s just more experience…

The sides are Poplar. The posts and bottom are oak. I kinda cheated and used oak ply for the bottom. Shhhhhh….

Luckily a standard 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper fits nicely. Whew….

Looks Good Nickbee

Now make some more, they work great for holding sand paper

8 1/2" x 11"

Thanks Bj

I think for sandpaper boxes I'll make simple box joints.

Hi NickBee

Sounds good, 1/4" slots/stock works good, or 1/4" dovetails work great also..

Did you notice the frame/case ,looks like the one you just made..just some slots in the uprights to hold some 1/4" thick MDF/plywood to support the boxes..with some runners glued in place for guides..

Great looking Nick. Fine job. Now, does she get an out tray or just file 13?

**harrysin** · 01-21-2008, 01:28 AM

Now then guys, is Nick's tray good, or is it perfect?

karateed · 01-21-2008, 01:46 AM

Well, I'd say that Nick's tray is pretty darned awesome...that's what I'd say....very, very nice Nick. I'm only a little jealous.....well.....ok.....I'm a LOT jealous, guess I'll have to practise.....
