Popular Post steven newman Posted Monday at 03:06 AM Popular Post Report Posted Monday at 03:06 AM Although, I have built 2 of these before... A Keepsake Box Design by Paul Sellers... Not just the ends were curved... Front and back were too...lid was sawn off....top and bottom panels are Tongue & Grooved into place..and appear to just float... If I get that Maple Box Project finished up....I MIGHT try this box, again..we'll see...need to resaw some stock down to size... Stay tuned... lew, 4DThinker, Gerald and 4 others 4 1 2 Quote

steven newman Posted Tuesday at 02:11 PM Author Report Posted Tuesday at 02:11 PM Just a bit of "Tinkering" around with the Single Brain Cell Sketch Up.....Maybe re-size things upwards...as I have a couple 3/4" x 7-1/2" x 72" Ash Planks...and double each dimension ? We'll see... Grandpadave52, lew and Gunny 3 Quote
Popular Post steven newman Posted Tuesday at 09:03 PM Author Popular Post Report Posted Tuesday at 09:03 PM Parts list is calling for 5/8" thick stock...we'll see... Ends are a bit tricky to cut.. And, have a stopped dado for the center divider... Also involves this.. As I have to saw the lid off the box.. Hinge it back on..without the cut line showing.. Might take a week or two to get this done... The only way I can down load new plans..is to join as a Member on Paul Sellers' Masterclasses site....$16 / month? ah...NOPE!

steven newman Posted yesterday at 03:39 AM Author Report Posted yesterday at 03:39 AM Ok..Will be sorting through a pair of 1 x 8 x 6' Ash Planks.....and see what I can rough cut to start up with.. Stay tuned... Grandpadave52, Gerald, Gunny and 1 other 4 Quote
steven newman Posted 22 hours ago Author Report Posted 22 hours ago Keepsake Box Lumber supplies... Have a 6' slab like this, and it's 4' look alike.. from one 10' plank....may rip the bad stuff off, and do a couple glue up with what is left... A 1 x 6 has other issues... Lay it down flat? Low-HIGH-Low.....no, it is not from a Buckeye tree... Ok..have 2 pieces from a 12' plank...of 1 x 8 ( 7-3/4") that MIGHT yield enough for the box... If I can work around the Live edges... We'll see how it all turns out....top and bottom panels may get a glue up.and a resaw... Stay tuned.. Grandpadave52 and lew 2 Quote

steven newman Posted 18 hours ago Author Report Posted 18 hours ago Spent a wee bit of time today...hauled the 2 bad planks to the shop...Plan being to remove the nasty sections, and still have enough to glue up 2 panels, one for the top and one for the bottom of the box...AND..resaw them down to 5/8"Strong... 1st cut..on the longer plank.. Got rid of this FUBAR... Then a couple more cuts... And set them aside, for now..length is around 15", or so.. So that plank #2 can be cut down... A couple more cuts...2 plus that nasty looking end..headed over to join a few others... Next up? rip off the curves.. Run the flat part down onto the tablesaw, and against the fence....and let the curve just flop down to the side.. #5 had a bit of a twist going on... One beside it, wasn't a whole lot better... Reset the fence, the 4 best ones needed to be a bit thinner, like down to 5/8" thick.. Which left these behind..about 1/8" thick...so... Will need to plane these flat, and straighten out the twist in the back one... trying to get to about 7" wide. and be trimmed down to 14" long... Was a busy morning.. Ya think? have since hauled the "good" pair of planks to the shop...we'll see what all I can mill up out of those 2..Later Stay tuned.. Fred W. Hargis Jr, Grandpadave52 and Gunny 3 Quote
