= Time HIS Box

[Peppie]

This box was inspired by a figured piece of oak I found somewhere. It is intended to be a tool box. It sat in my shop for 8 mos. collecting dust. I decided it needed a home, other than tanking up space in my shop. I gave it to our oldest daughter for X-Mass. I am sure a tool will never be placed inside.

couldnt find any handles I liked. so I made my own out of leather

Top framed pinned with square pegs

I had to scratch my mark in it

It measures 46'' long x 14'' wide x 11'' tall

The inside has small boxes that stack and slide. Made from figured maple, and cherry

A simple box joint and a dadoed runner to hold it in place

The handles are cut into the inside of the box so they are flush with the sides

Mush less time invested in this box. I redid the finish 4 times before I got it to my liking.

I have no idea what either one of those are. This is to be used for tool storage. The size was determined by the amount of oak that was in the board. LOL

Sas you were quick to look at this one.

Thanks Lori, I think you may be my #1 fan here for my woodworking.

Yea I should have. Back in 1971 I went to a summer camp for Forestry. I knew then that in someway wood would be a major part of my life. It wasnt until 1977 that I gave woodworking a shot in shop class, I still have that in table today. The rest is history. LOL

Ha, yeah....I dont know, its just something about the grain and the different cuts and finishes, wood is just beautiful. And you do a fabulous job of creating with it! I will have to get one of those puzzle boxes from you yet.

When I see work like this, I assume someday it will be in antiques roadshow or something similar and be worth a fortune. Beautiful work again.

Thanks dtd87'
I can only hope. I have always went the extra mile on 7/8 of my projects to be sure they do not end up in someones yard sale.
