    Waste of space

    I treated myself to a nice granite surface plate and thought I would order some hacksaw blades. Both arrived very prompt and in great condition but packing has a lot to be desired the granite plate was in a box in another box with room to spare in the outer box for the packing and the blades...

    LV Box

    I was not planning on going in the workshop to turn this as I had something else I wanted to complete. Anyway, this is a box made from Lignum Vitae and measures 4" X 3" to the top of the finial/handle. Sanded to 2000grit using woodwax 22 as a lubricant as I feel it needed nothing else as it...

    Bandsaw box

    Made another box this time I faced the drawers with 3mm Purple Heart to give a contrast. The insides I finished with suede tec with works very well but the glue leeched through the masking tape in parts and into the wood. It sinks in deep and is a devil to remove hence the traces of blue.

    One for Phil

    Just a bit of tongue and cheek. I've been practising again and thought I'd have a go at a parallel slimline. Again, the wood is from a donated box, so you can tell me what it is. Melamine finish. Regards Craig
