Gotta Have Some Idears

[sawdust]

A log builder buddy of mine built a chest and simply brushed the inside of the lid with his chainsaw. Same idea as creating a scribed notch.

I love when someone else sees something my way.  This forum allows me to skip the anger and anything else that I am unable to understand by scrolling away.  I always check to see where any poor skills are coming from and wonder what the history is behind them.  I am always serious first and facitious after the fact.  Unless I get the chance to do it the other way around.  I would sure like to see some pictures of chests completed [treasure chests].  I even got a camera today to see if I can figure how to get a picture on here.

I've been on the forum for a while now, and you are far from ""iggurant "", and I've come to lookin for your ideas and ways of crankin things out whenever you post.  With the idears you are getting on this project, I'm anxious to learn what you will put together from it all.    (as well I like reading of the different ways others suggest along with the precautions safety-wise).  

I'm also anxious to see some pics too, especially of iain's projects (I thought he penned that 'letter' to you pretty formal-like  ;D, and I think I caught a mental glimps of his toungue sticking out at me   ;D , which I probably deserved).
 ;)  I hope for no hard feelings, but let me have it if there are any.

  Naaahhhhhhh, no hard feelings.  ;D :D

  Just can't stand it when someone picks up on an explanation, right off, and I gotta have pics to SEE what's being described. : :

  Guess that's why I'm a loner when it comes to figuring out stuff  : ;D ;D :D :D :D

Fla._,

I read the post from "iain" thru about 3 times, the way I interpret his process is: he cuts the ends square and then cuts them off, then uses the bandsaw to shape the inside of the box and then glues the ends back on.

If your bandsaw is like the 14 inch Delta, you could make a "riser block" to increase the depth of cut.

How many boxes do you plan on making?

[Fla._Deadheader]

  Hi "D". The guy has trouble getting enough.  More orders than suppliers.

  The poor old Bandsaw has already had more mods than a partly wrecked vehicle. : : ;D

Harold,
  You got pics? What about the rest of us?
   Sounds like iains are"rustic" I tried it with a couple hunks of 2x4 just cut the outside shape of the top on the band saw,cut off the ends then cut the inside shape off the top and put the ends back on. Did the box the same way,cut off the ends,stood it on end,cut out the box and ut the ends back on.You could use a4x4 for the bottom to make a deeper box.Problem is my guides only go up about 5 3/4 inches so makes for a short box!

didnt retype nothing just dictated it to linda as she dont even look at what shes typing and can type faster than i can dictate
the boxs can look rustic or posh depending on the time and care you put into them and the reason you leave the ends square is to make reglueing easy i'll try to get pics today some time (this makes four lots of pics i owe the forum) beenthere look no caps or full stops and heres your tongue :P :D :D
