Change of life for the boxes George several in fact from choice cuts to classic small boxes especially the Alder I found a spalted Alder blank amongst my stash it has come to the in use stack.

Reviewing your videos I am above impressed by the smooth accuracy in your lathe , bandsaw set up. Mighty good way to open rthe festive season thank you mate.
