Still playing around

A couple of boxes...The wife likes the Spalted 'cats eyes" one. The mahogany & R.O. got a test inlay, the Mrs had some glitter glue lying around, eh, it's different anyways :rofl:....and a neighbor kid wanted a blu-ray/DVD rack for his collection, slapped this one together out of scrap ply, pine, & maple face trim on the shelves & base. Tempered hardboard for shelf liner{I guess you could say :dunno:} tried to keep it on the cheap for him and it got me away from boxes for a time...anyways, beats scratching off items on the 'honey do' list :D

That's a pretty Ritzy cabinet for, "On the cheap."

You should have seen the book case I had when going to school. An orange crate. One time Myrna and I felt flush and we spent something like 30 cents for some naugahyde to cover it. So your "On the cheap" sounds like pure luxury to us.

Enjoy,

Great stuff, Ken. :thumb: The DVD rack looks too nice to call a "rack", and I really like the corners on the cat's eye box. The glitter box...um...did I mention how much I liked the DVD rack? :rofl: (Seriously, the box is nice but the glitter doesn't hit my buttons.) ;)
 
great stuff, Im currently working on some boxes to see if its possible to make to sell them at any kind of a profit.
Im very discouraged right now, time invested does not look like theres any way to make a profit.
Ken, if you didnt float the top panel on the spalted maple box, will expansion/contraction be a problem on the frame around the top?(I made some simple lift off tops and was wondering if I could just glue a frame around them without worrying about expansion)
 
Thanks guys, I appreciate your time & thoughts! Anytime in the shop, is better than, showtime in front of the TV :D

Bob, you cracked me up with that one :rofl:

Allen, I'm the wrong fella to be asking, as I'm still a noob at all of this...I haven't had any of mine separate at the framing, and I've used simple glue on's to bread-board edgings. My problems usually arise at the mitered corners of the frame opening if I don't spline them{that, and the fact my miter skills lack to begin with}. And please let me/us know if you figure out a way to equalize the time/profit sequence :doh: :D
