This is actually an offshoot of the box joint project (long thread under "Projects") but I thought this test sample is cute enough to show off in the Show+Tell section.
This is a matchbox made from 0.1" Cocobolo and Alder. I just drum sanded some thin lumber pieces to that thickness that I bought at Rockler a while ago. The outer shell and the drawer are both finger jointed with 0.08" finger width. All cut with a 1/16" diameter ballnose bit.
Now, why did I do that?
- test the software
- fun thing to do
- gadget to give to my brother in law.
For that matter, it could be a jewelry box for rings or earrings as well.
