Quick Fix
Literally the day after finishing my Saw Bench (almost a month ago), I found myself craving a quick woodworking fix. My girlfriend had just left the house to tend her horses which gave me an excuse and a couple of hours to make her a quick surprise while she was gone.
A small offcut of Pine seemed to be shouting at me from the pile saying make me a box ...
So, with no box joints or anything complicated I simply cut and squared the Pine into a few pieces and made a quick & dirty butt jointed box. After squaring the sides and waiting for the glue to dry I intended to make a really simple lid the next morning.
Unfortunately, a week away working on the boat and then being called off to France for family matters meant the box remained unfinished... Until now.
Lunchtime today, I used a second small offcut of Pine, slightly thicker and cut and planed it to size to make a simple lid. The edges were chamfered by eye to make a wedge to fit snuggly into the box top. Secondly, a small piece of Mahogany was roughly squared and then sanded to make a knob.
Job done - Another little box on her dressing table for her bits n bobs - A quick fix to end my period of Cold Turkey.
