First Band Saw Box

[Pappy]

db, I got my flocking kit from either Rockler or Woodcraft, don't remember which. Looks to be the exact same thing you linked to.

Jim, it is 9 3/4" long x 4 3/4" high.

Loring, this was my sketch done on 1/4" grid paper. I drew in the drawers after the blank was rough cut.

Pappy can you post the design as a template or a PDF?
Just the outline would be enough.

That is an awesome bandsaw box.

I also want to make a bandsaw box now - hopefully some day soon when I can go into the garage/workshop.

If it is OK I would definitely like to try those out. Thanks.

Pappy I don't know about other ones, but the flocking kit I used was from Veritas / Lee Valley (bought at the woodworking show in Houston).

Works fine for me... Easy to use. If you still need one...

And now I want to make more bandsaw boxes...

That looks nice. I need to try some bandsaw boxes.

I think most bandsaw boxes are somewhat freestyle.

Beautiful band saw box! Yeah life gets in the way a lot. Seems to do it more the older we get too!

[Jim Frye]

nicely done! Dimensions?

[Pappy]

Thanks for the comments. I should have tried this years ago. Fun project even considering all the sanding. The wife said the next BS box will be a mouse with a drawer in each ear and two in the body. Now I have to find one around the house I can take a picture of for a model to work from for the shape.

Awesome work! My boxes are just freestyle. Either way they are a fun project.

Pappy,

Great job! That's a great dolphin novelty. Fit and finish it looks terrific so thanks for posting!

On another subject, a couple of years ago I sent you some 3D printed slides for your BT, how did they work for you? Another thread here regarding 3D printing has started and I didn't know if I should post those files that I had because I didn't know if they were workable. Other than checking the fit, I never actually used them on my saw, so before I post that filed I wanted to check with you and of course with the actual designer for his permission. (I helped but it was actually his design.)

So, what do you think?

Thanks,

CWS

I wanted to get back to making gifts this Christmas. Unfortunately, life and bad weather kept screwing up my shop time so everything is late. This is my first attempt at a band saw box that I made for my daughter-in-law. Cut from a piece of Mahogany with Walnut drawer handles. I still have to flock the drawers, another first for me,
