I think I need to make one of these but not sure how it will look.  It starts out with four sides and two open ends. I think I will use all my machinery before I am through......A granddaughter ask how her thingy was coming along when she stopped by on her way to her new assignment. She says its very important so hurry up and make it...I ask her to show me what she wanted it to look like and she is leaving it up to me...great, a new adventure...any size, shape and color...…..that's the kind of a request I like.... right now its about

6" x 6". 

4X6 is normal for one of those.

I agree but when I made mine I measured to the wrong side of the blade.  Ended up 4X5 7/8.  Still worked okay.

Maybe for your own use but, thingy buyers are pretty picky.

I forgot to mention the great glue joints. Very hard to do but the table saw seemed to be the right choice for the job...

  Okay maybe I did go a little too large on the size but my first thoughts were to turn this piece in to two separate projects as you will see later on. You guys are not on the same page yet but....

No surprise, I'm not sure what book I'm reading either.

This piece has something to do with the suggestion this grand daughter told me many moons ago. Owners won't let you drive a nail in to their walls....I no this might seem a little too much for the ordinary but it got me to thinking!

  You guys have me confused with you sizes for if this piece turns in to two separate projects then the 6x6 is too small... and now the separation part has me confused.

  Another thing she told me......In New Orleans you can't turn left at any intersections that is controlled be traffic lights......I wanted to argue with her but when we were in that town we just never needed to turn left.

 During the summer I like to occasionally check how Phoenix, Arizona is doing compared to where I live. This is a good way to go outside and enjoy our weather. Makes me want to put a warm jacket on if I stay out there very long!!!!!!!!!!!

   I read somewhere Phoenix is running out of water, ouch..

The Phoenix area has had about the same amount of water allocation for the last 10-15 years. But, their population has really grown. I think they are going to start drilling out west of town. That's where most of the expansion is. A few years ago, they tried to get some of our water from up here. That got rapidly shot down. 

 

Don't you just love clear instructions?  I want this, have no idea what it is to look like, what size or color it is.  But, I want it and you're going to build it for me.  

Steve this might be a smart move on her part for that should put me to trying to turn out something much better than I normally do things...Sure I will do my best to make her happier than if she had said she wants it so so...Don't you think??

Ain't that great. I clicked off to see what the temp was and when I came back to finish this post,,,, It disappeared, shucks. I meant to say that sucks.

This is what I got done today. The box size is smaller for I set out to make two of these so the box is half as big... easier that building 2 boxes...

 Lots of first times already today in what I have done...but I will just show the pictures and forget about trying to re type my words.

I did have to point the cold air up for it kept blowing the pieces in to the nice spit shined concrete floor and I must have been saving electricity today for I can see just a little dust here and there...

Don't know what it's for but it's shore purdy.
