Title: My 1st band saw box
Post by: marmoh on April 15, 2011, 04:59:09 pm
Gave this a shot this morning.  The idea intrigues me so had to do it.  Didn't spend too much time with it as this will only hold my first million $$$.  I'll do better with the next one as it will hold my next million $$$  ;D ;D
I see from the picture that I forgot to seal the inside of the drawer ... may just line it with felt.

It's a nice looking box Marion. It needs to be a lot bigger if it is going to hold your first million though!

Great job and congratulations on your first bandsaw box. Can't wait to try one myself.

Good job, and a nice piece of cedar, if the rest is as good you made out like a bandit!

The box is very nice.
A few days ago I saw the video of how to do it on the blog of mere mortals, but works with other saws.
I wonder if you did with scroll saw or jigsaw for a different type of machine?
thanks in advance for your response

Good job.  Looks good.  I love making bandsaw boxes.  Instead of felt, look into flocking.  It's easy and inexpensive and a good way to finish off the inside of boxes with a nice appearance.

Will check into the flocking.  Frank I am thinking of trying one on the scroll saw, just because...don't know if it will work as it will be small.  My band saw will only allow me a 3 1/2 clearance so will be limited on the size of the boxes I make ( unless I can get that million $$$ !!!! )  Don't know if it was working with the cedar or if it is just seasonal allergy but I have been suffering after working with the cedar yesterday.  I will have to mask from now on and make sure I have plenty of ventilation before I use it again.  Just trying different things to pass the time.

Hey Marion,  I have modified several bandsaw boxes to cut on the scrollsaw.  You just have to cut it in layers.  Takes a bit more sanding though.

Julie tell us how you did it, I've been thinking about that ever since the subject came up.
Maybe start a new thread with it in tips.

Marion, that looks waaay better than my first bandsaw box.  No amount of sanding in the world was going to save that disaster! :D

Mainewoods,
You have a point.  Sometimes I think they should be called sanded boxes instead of bandsaw boxes because I spend more time sanding than cutting them.

That looks great!  I picked up a book last night at the book store that is all about band saw boxes.  Should be lots of fun!
