Another Christmas present, the plans showed a brass rear door assembly which can be brought from America so not wanting to be bothered with paying a small fortune just to have it posted in other words I am a tight git(Not quite old yet). I did however make up a simple locking system that requires the new owner to dial in 2 numbers to open it up, the second door is held closed with a simple drop down bolt so when not used as a money box it can be played with. I also made the wheels with a home made jig to help drill the spoke holes. It measures 11 1/2" long 7 1/2" tall and 4" wide, made from tulip wood and sapele also some odd bits of unknown wood.

I think your grandson has made a fantastic job with this moneybox Derek !!! LOL
Thank you guys all the presents are now finished so may get some turning done now.
That is what I am afraid of in the future
I had to keep it hidden as he would think it was his, it is for his brother
