Very nice!
It would be rude to ask if the lid fits both ways round, so I'll not mention that. I'm sure it will. =D>
 
Very nicely done Sir, I like that, and an entertaining and informative write up.

P.S. please tell me you converse in the same style that you write? :D

That looks great. I think boxes are one of the most satisfying things to make.

Yes. And also one of the most economical. I (or rather my work) have been reduced to this:

You should see what I'm going to make from the off cuts of that.

Thanks.

Regrettably, I do tend to speak like that. My friends call it half-witted. A level to which, between you and me, I can only aspire.

There's no need - just keep them in the box until you find a use for them!

Erm, you mean with the handle downwards?

Of course, I know what you mean.

May the court be aware, if you will inspect production one in your bundle:



and production 2:



The grain on the sides hasn't altered, but that on the lid is reversed by 180 degrees.

Wonderful thing Photoshop. Actually that would be over estimating my computing ability by several orders of magnitude. Or I could have cut thin veneers off the lid to preserve the grain and remade two separate lids. To prove a point.

Point proven, whichever way you did it!
