My 'appy' at the day job just passed his drivers' test so I whipped him up a cigar pen out of a bit of Elm I had lying around. Couldn't resist risking George's wrath by blinging it up! Infill is gold glitter mixed into clear quickset epoxy. Silver would have stood out more.
So I will say exactly what you are expecting to read.
Lovely piece of wood, extremely well finished and fitted, superbly photographed.
Totally ruined by what you have emblazened it with.
Having said that I am sure it is a befitting gift to the receiver who will be as proud of the gift as he will passing his / her test.
My comiserations to him / her.
That is my initials to David, just in case you don't know what to do with it when he doesn't like it ....
Great set David, some work has gone into this set, the details are superb my friend ... A tutorial on the box would be great when you have the time good sir ...
Jim, I got the idea for these boxes from the first tutorial on this page of the IAP Library. I don't bother with the jigs as I use the CNC mill for hollowing and hinge placement, but I don't doubt you could do very well if you made up the jigs.
