I noticed the other day that all the tissue boxes had disappeared, so was time to make another batch.
So I am in the process of making 5 more, here are the first 2,they need more finish.

(see the little dog peeking out the bottom corner of the second pic?

It is Spalted Alder. See those top 3 boards in the lumber stack in the 3rd picture? Those are the ends of the roughsawn boards.

Fantastic work but I have to ask, where are the older boxes going? They (users) do realize you can throw out the empty tissue cardboard box and refill don't they? How about some details on the boxes themselves. Joinery, dimensions, you know the drill.......

Looks great, Herb! And I like the deep throat clamps too. Could you post a picture of one of those? Thanks.

I did a thread on those recently https://www.routerforums.com/show-n-tell/135915-2018-2x4-challenge.html
@sreilly

The inside dimensions are the same as a tissue box+what ever clearances you want , The last ones I used miter corners, and lots of wasted material because I lost the inside dimension fooling around getting a good fit on the miters, so these I just butt jointed and glued. real simple.

When people see them they like them so much I end up giving them away and making more. They are easy to make if a person doesn't get carried away trying to make fine furniture out of them. This material is too fragil for box joints or dovetails.Even miter joints the point wants to chip off.

Here are the last bunch:

Looking good Herb. You’ve been one busy guy. The one st the very back is my favourite .

Could only imagine how sweet tower speakers would turn out if you were to do them instead of me
