Box making

[marcros]

I dont often post these links, but this was emailed to me earlier today and I had a look.

http://www.mekwoodworks.com/52-boxes.html

There are a wide range of designs on here, with sufficient information on most to recreate them.

I plan to have a go at number 17 to start with- they look a quick present to make.

The joint method on box 28 is simple and interesting- I shall give that a go.

box 9- for the bandsaw box enthusiasts is a different take on the ones that I have seen before.

The use of paint on many of the boxes is worth considering too.

I've been following him (Kenny.Matt) on Instagram with his 52 boxes in 52 weeks. Some really nice designs.
I tend to follow a few selected people on Instagram just for ideas. So for box making, Ian Hawthorne posts occasionally as do several others such as Edward Wild who I met at CCD Selection in London last week.

I had not heard of Edward Wild. Some nice pieces there too. Thanks Glynne

Not a web site but my first point of call in thinking a design for a new box is: -
400 Wood Boxes - The Fine Art of Containment & Concealment ISBN 978-1-57990-459-3
Not only does it give you pictures of some amazing boxes, you can then search on the designer / maker (if you have the time!).
Currently on Amazon for just over £10.

there's a few I liked, thanks for sharing, not sure about using yellow paint though, it's an acquired taste, but some good designs, love box #27
