Hey can you make me something to put my buttons into in my craft room....

So.... how about a button box?

Kevin

 

[fortress]

I like your style Kevin, brilliant.

 

[flexi]

I'd have told her to " button it"
Seriously.....nice job...i like that alot

 

[Dalboy]

Looks like you could have sewn that one up. Now do one with a thread:wink::wink::wink:

Nice job on two counts one for the box and the second for pleasing the wife

I bought some threading tools about a year ago and still have not played with them firstly due to not being able to stand at the lathe and secondly other projects keep getting in the way. Will have to see what I can do this year

Hi Kev
Button box design for buttons,, totally classic, great bit of turning as well
You just need to make a box for all your " brownie points"

And what shape would that be

 

[21William]

Very clever and nicely executed Kevin!

 

[Penpal]

Kevin your whimsical approach I admire with a crafty wife forever I know yours is just or more thrilled than we are.That timber is lovely,warm and clean cut ready to serve. I was tempted to break into verse but recognize the box is special.

Thats simple Kev it would be shaped like a brownie,,, ( cake) for good brownie point
For bad brownie points thats up to your warped imagination but im sure you would do it in style
Cheers

Oooh, that's a great idea Kevin - I like it a lot. Queue the inevitable pun fest of course, but is that super nice piece of beech, or I suppose it's too much to hope it's made from lacewood.

 

[wm460]

Well done Kev.:wink:

 

[Paul hd]

Very neat idea. Looks great.
