This was in the September issue of American Woodworker. It was just too neat and off the wall not to try out. I even invested in an expensive chunk of 3 X 3 Cherry at Woodcraft

That is pretty interesting. Nicely executed, too. -
Wow!

Nicely done. I was thinking of trying that myself when I saw it in the mag.
Have you tried a cube in a cube in a cube? Seems like the procedure could be carried out progressively provided one is careful with the drilling procedure.Don't be stupid, the universe is watching.Comment

Wow! Wizardry!
Too good for me to even add to my 'project list' - maybe I should buy it from you and claim I made it

Not having seen that issue, how is it done? Just a gist, not the whole procedure.
I am assuming the back does not have a hinged door...
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Very nice!! I saw that in the magazine and I may give it a try. The magazine made it seem relatively easy. How difficult was it to make?BillComment

very nice.
I'm thinking that depending on the depth of cut needed, you could do this with a router and eliminate the spur points on the captured cube.Mike

Thank you and .... Thom and I were talking about a cube in a cube in a cube. Might be something to play with.
The general gist of it is this. Start with a 3 x 3 cube. Mark one face corner to corner.(X) Drill that face to a depth of 1/16" with a 2" forstner bit just to get the hole started for the set up. Mark the intersection of the hole and the "X" Set the depth stop just short of this mark. Drill the end grain sides first. (stuff is hard to drill) then the other 4 faces. Essential sneak up on the inner cube but don't drill it free. Get close then cut it..... trust me on this one. I was doing four of these. Now the fourth one is a stand for two of the others

I suppose there's absolutely no reason you can't do 2x2 cube with a 1.3125" (1-5/16) forstner...
or any other size.
I'm guessing the 3:2 ratio is pleasing to the eye...?Last edited by LCHIEN; 07-20-2007, 05:10 PM.

If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.
