I am not going to resaw on my table saw any time soon

And the Bandsaw I do not have room for at least now.

Maybe one of these days I can take over a little corner of the basement next to the door to the garage and use that little area for my bench and cabinets/ storage and use the shop area for all machinery. That way I could get more work done in the winter as well.

I have not nor will I ever attempt it on a TS! That's over my Safety threshold.

That is a good idea... I like to think of it as moving stuff from Primary storage locations to Secondary locations... and have been doing it lately... and have more to do.

Well Corey, I did fit a top and bottom but as the inside measurements are only 3 3/4" x 1 3/4" I can't come up with another use. That's the best that I could do with the hinges. By the time Joe suggested that it would look better the other way up, I had already glued the bottom on so when I have time I will make a larger one for Joe's appraisal.

Well that turned out great Harry. Looks great all painted up with the decal applied, hinged and flocked! I really like it and I bet it would look great either way.Nice work Harry!

Hi Harry,

Nice looking box for a worthy & just cause. I'm sorry your pet canary died.

I think it looks very nice.

If you make another box with it flipped, I think you'll find it will look nice also... but, I wouldn't use hinges... Just lay it on.

But don't make another one just to make me happy.

Do it because you want to... and have fun doing it.

Beautiful box!

Very nice looking box Harry. By the way, what was your canary's name?

**challagan** · 06-16-2007, 12:39 PM

Oh sorry Harry, I didn't see that about your Canary. Sorry to hear about that. Birds are special. I had a budgie that I raised from a little tiny guy. We had Petey for about 7 years I think. He learned to talk and he could say all kinds of things. He picked up the worst from me.... Son of a B... and One Two.. Barbecue... See yah!! He was a smart @$$

Gentlemen,gentlemen, I don't know if you're pulling my leg but I didn't have a canary, the coffin idea was just a suggestion as I couldn't think of another use for such a small box.
Corey, that is not flocking which I don't like, it's felt stuck on with thinned wood glue. Normally I cover thin card with the felt, folded over all the way round and put into place whilst there is enough excess glue around the back edges to hold in place but this little fun box didn't justify all that trouble. Thanks for kind comments and messages of sympathy!

**challagan** · 06-16-2007, 11:19 PM

Harry harry... LOL... Ok so we are gullible as hell. Go pop a canary and drop it in the box then!

Sorry Harry I thought it was flock... Looks great whatever it is

Never used the flock myself, I like to use velvetine and things like that on card stock as well.

Harry, I think that's a dirty trick...

I think you should go out with your BB gun, shoot a bird, any kind of bird, put it in that pretty box, then bury it 4' deep in your front yard, with a sign on top "Here lies a bird in a pretty molded coffin box."
