knot box

[sunnybob]

remember I asked a few days ago about filling in a Knot on a box lid?
Well I tried CA glue on a scrap piece and although it filled the knot, when I sanded it gown it went opaque which was "knot" what I wanted.

So I left it natural and it came out pretty good.

The box is 6" x 3" x 2 1/2". Scrap from a large bandsaw box drawer. deep routed.

i just need to learn to take better photo's, the lid isnt half bare, its just a reflection.

Nice box Bob.

Very smart!

Are these the jewellery boxes you were asking about hinges for? If so, the lid seems to stay up nicely without any complicated mechanism - is it just a case of making sure the hinges are a bit stiff?

And I like the dark green lid - is that the flocking sorted ok?

Andy, I must take a better picture, the lid is flocked, but its not green its black. Its not perfect though, still some clogging but this box was just using up some scrap wood so i also used the old flocking. O.K. but not perfect.

No these hinges are very cheap chinese, the lid is wedged open for the pic. But I did buy some of the stop hinges and they are pretty good for the money (£8). They are on the music boxes which are finished except for flocking.
I'm back in the UK in 2 weeks time and have ordered proper glue and new flocking for there so I shall have to do a quick job before giving the music boxes to the grandkids.

That's a really nice looking box sunnybob. I think anybody would be pleased to get that as a gift.

Really lovely box you should be very proud of that was it done on a bandsaw ?

That's a lovely box Bob.
I really love the contrast and the finish looks great =D>

Sherman, it was originally a solid piece of laminated woods that formed part of a much larger bandsaw box, but basically no, its not a bandsaw box apart from the fact I cut the lid off on the bandsaw. The interior and the dished internal lid was routed out on the router table.

Thanks for all the kind comments.

Oh ok...I can see that now As thick as it makes me sound it never occurred to me to route out a box
once again once work!

I've been learning new things to do with a router table for almost 2 years now, and still learning.
Its my favourite tool by far.
