Hi folks
Thought I'd post my first (I think?) 'project'. And by that I mean it's the first thing I'll have posted here. Chronologically it's my umpteenth project. All depends on whether I can successfully post some pics.
The box was something my wife, Teresa, asked me to make her, in time for her 50th birthday. It's made from an old hardwood table I got via Freecycle. I was told it's Indian Rosewood (and I got the table and six accompanying chairs with a view to recycling for this sort of thing, and perhaps even musical instrument building).
I also recently made my dad a set of dominos from the same material. That was fun, and he loves them. Teresa made a velvet bag for the dominos.
Anyway, here's a couple of pics of the sewing box, as it stands. I'm hoping to add some kind of internal mechanism to hold the lid up, and an external catch of some sort at the front, for fastening the lid shut.
... so, did that work?
