Lidded Box

[Twister]

my first attempt at a lidded box

it is in 3 parts...i was playing
left a "finial" inside top part so you can put your ring on it
bottom part for earrings

the top lid is too slack
the bottom is a friction fit

i cant say i like the shape...but it is only way u learn i guess
the finish needed re-doing..but prob wont bother as it will become firewood

I like the idea Steve. The ring holder could do with a cleaner
sweep instead of the step. Mind you I am trying to look on my phone

Good first attempt. I made a few last year and they were no where near as nice!

Steve don't worry about the lid being a little slack. If you make it a "pop" fit the earrings & rings will jump out the box onto the floor when you prise the lid off. For some reason turners have to have a tight lid. I've had to microwave some boxes for 10 seconds to get the lid to pop up when they shrunk on.

thanks Bill

but it was just too slack
it was a challenge to get the grain flowing
I have to make another now with an extra compartment..u know what women r like
I am sure it is just so she can get some more wood for fire
gets a bit expensive though .that was steamed french walnut

Put a groove in and stick an O-ring in it that’ll tighten the joint.
Don't bin it, keep it for your pen parts when assembling them, it'll be a reminder fro the next one.
Bugger!!! My Drain wants a ring holder now she seen this??

 

[Twister]

There's no one can knock the wind of the sails like the missus can with just a few words.. They drive us on, Steve (to despair!)


I like it, clever design and some interesting features. I though the O-ring idea was a good 'un. But no, go make her another! :nonono::nonono:

For a 1st mate, it ain't that bad. To go fo a 3 level one is brave but you've got the process by the looks of it. Once the function is sorted the form will follow. Looking forward to seeing the mk2
