I keep finding myself returning to Box Making. It seems to satisfy
My work shop is small, so making small wooden boxes 'fits' is a practical utilization of the available space. Also, since I give most of my work away to friends and family members, the material cost is reasonable.
Box making involves most of the challenges of making larger pieces of fine furniture. But because the scale is small, there is the tendency to inspect the workmanship more closely. When is the last time you picked up a table and looked underneath? Likely never. But it seems that people just can't resist doing this with a small box. So it is incumbent upon a box make to make each box as close to perfect as possible.
These two aren't there yet, but I'm happy with them.
