Teeny Weeny Pill box

I had a little a couple square pieces of cherry I walked by every day for 6 months so I had to do something with it.

 

Nothing fancy just a simple small pill box.

 

 

Only holds 6 or 7 small whatever's you need to take,

Fits nicely in your pants pocket.

 

Keep in mind I can make things like this in any size you would want or desire.

Darn Where does the time go?

I came home fully planning on getting this lid together and cut for the new threaded desk valet. Weeeellllll lets just say it didn't happen.

 

I did manage to lay up the lid parts the walnut and oak, not the inlay yet as I haven't decided on color.

 

Its still not sanded but the threads did turn out really nice.  

 

 

Gives you perspective on size.

 

8-1/4 inch square blocks.

 

 

Black walnut will make up the bottom of the lid for contrast with the oak at the top. The inlay will be a redder color with radiused top. The glue took forever to dry tonight for some reason. Oh well tomorrow I will get the lid cut inside and out, threaded and inlay installed.



Can you figure out what I am working on?

Working on a concept for a project. I hope we can get a chance to make this.

 

 

I am going to be working on the hinging mechanism.

Working on threads

Trying my hand at my first thread milling in wood.

 

 

In this case red oak and walnut lid. I needed to cut a relief groove, but the next one will have it.

 

This was just an experiment and it worked out well and will be a cute little box.

 

 

I will be creating a new style desk valet with a much larger thread.

Popular sized Box

Well I have made a few boxes with these dimensions and it seems to be what people are looking for.

 

 

On Machine relief being cut.

7X4X2 inched from cherry with the relief of an owl.

 

 

From another angle.

 

 

 

A little sanding and finishing and she is done.

If you would like one of these let me know what you want as a 3D relief.

 

 

If I can make something for you, please email me and I would love to get something started.

 

Thank you billsbilletboxes@gmail.com

DA DA DA DAAAAAAAAA!

Lid to a new music box Im making.

 

Should look pretty sharp when old Beethoven gets sanded and finished out.  

They say that bugger never smiled.

 

 



A couple in process boxes

 

Thought I would share what the machine is running right now.

 

 

4 x 7 inch boxes

This one is from cherry

 

Right off the machine un-sanded

 

This one is black walnut

 

Its kind of fun to see them evolve

 

 

These are going to the same person as Christmas gifts

 

I believe they will eventually hold hearing aids, batteries and other small items.

 

Now stained

 

 

I will post finished pictures in a couple days.
