Match box?
« on: January 04, 2015, 05:57:17 pm »
This was a request from a client. He has a shop that sells unusual stuff. Most is primitive design. This is 13" tall, 5.5" wide, 2.75" deep. The drawers are cut from a 2x4 on the scroll saw - slice 1/4" off the bottom, hollow out the drawer, glue the slice back on. Other parts are various resaws of 3/4" rough cedar. Note the drawer pulls - they are cut-off golf tees. Inexpensive and about the right size for this small piece.

Good job Ray!

Ya know, it is funny how we think alike. I just recently made a small box with a drawer and used a golf tee for the knob!  :D

It was a small "magic" box that you put a coin in the drawer and when you close it, the coin disappears. I found plans for it in a woodworking book and thought the grandkids would enjoy it.
I would post pictures of it but there isn't any scroll sawing involved with it other than the box/finger joints on the corners.

I think you did a great job. I noticed that the sides aren't the same, why is that?

I'd like to answer but I'm not sure what you mean. The long vertical sides of the overall piece are resawn 3/4" rough sawn cedar to get two 3/8" thick blanks. Trim to 10" by 1.75", tape together, then shaped on the scroll saw. To the eye they look about identical.

If you mean the pulled-out drawer in the right photo, it is cut from a pine 2x4. Cut a blank 2"x1.5"x4.625; slice 1/4" off the bottom, cut the rest in a "U" shape, glue the 1/4" bottom back on, then glue on the 1/4" cedar drawer front. Both drawers are the same.

Or maybe it's just the way the photo came out - there were no intentional differences in any symmetrical parts.

I'm sorry it is me. The knot on the cross piece threw me off. I guess I need new glasses AGAIN. LOL
