May 21, 20188 yr Popular Post Had a request from facility mgr at church for tissue boxes so they would not get crushed. So this is the beginning PIP. That small piece on the corner is tyo glue on the slide for a handle. view of the bottom dados r e test fit of bottom. After this discovered I had a gap on ends of slide so will have to fill that. More later this week Edited May 21, 20188 yr by Gerald
May 21, 20188 yr I guess using wood that thick a car might be able to drive over one of those boxes and not crush whats inside...And might be big enough and heavy enough where no one would steal them in the purse so it looks like you are starting with a winner...
May 21, 20188 yr I was thinking the same, those are some heavy duty tissue boxes.. looks like you are doing good job on them. one for everyone. Herb Edited May 21, 20188 yr by Dadio
May 22, 20188 yr Author Thanks for the comments. Plan is for a bead on sides and modified cove at edge of top. Also will add bead at bottom and round over the corners.
May 26, 20188 yr Author Guess I need to reply to size. I figured that if anyone sat on then since will be on the seat, the extra thickness will survive. This project may pick up next week as I got the product ready to go to DIL studio and my son will be here today . So I got the corner chips glued on the slide and sanded flush. Then started on the cutouts for the tops.
May 26, 20188 yr Looking good Gerald... I assume these are made from oak to match the pew wood once finished? 2 hours ago, Gerald said: Guess I need to reply to size.

May 26, 20188 yr Gerald if that would have been my project...... I would have gotten the band saw, the planner, the drum sander and a few other machines involved and by the time I had invested hundreds of bucks I would have ended up with a tissue box so thin the first sneeze would have destroyed it.......not counting a few days in the shop which would have kept me from getting that tan I have been planning on since winter...So you see I could have made 13 boxes exactly with the same amount of wood,, but I am not supposed to be using oak!!!

Gonna' guess that'll bring them up from their seat and maybe hands lifted to heaven? Yes the stain is jacobean on I think red oak. Got the tops cut and glued on today. There will be some router work to highlight th top and maybe a bead at the bottom. Edited May 26, 20188 yr by Gerald
May 28, 20188 yr Author Got some more done after trimming some hedge. Cut down the tops to flush and scrapped the sides w cabinet scraper . Then rounded the corner and did top bead at router table.
