New Boxes

Had a bit of free time while using my father-in-law’ workshop the past 2 weeks. Made a few brush handles. Also made some boxes for some 6x2x1” Washita stones purchased in the past year.

First thought - it’s harder than I had suspected to make a box and have it come out professional looking. But in the end the boxes are done and a label that had accompanied one of the stones is now attached to the box lid. But did add hinges and a latch, which IMO is an improvement over the typical whetstone box.

Made a 3rd one out of the leftover scraps, so I guess I *need* another whetstone!😂😂

I have a 6x2x1 Lilly White that would fit perfect in that box.

Nice work.
Beautifully done. I need to make about 20 boxes and I keep putting it off. I want to make several of the "thuringian type boxes" that have the end clasp and hinge for my coticules. All my slates need boxes, several washitas, my llyn idwal and my charnwood. Whew.

Very good results. A suggestion for a slight improvement would to head the screws. Just adds a nice finishing touch.
