some old photos from my box-making days in the 70s and early 80s...
--------------------------------------------------------
This is sort of a return to my roots? I've been playing with some wooden "pill box" ideas recently, approximately 3 to 5" in length. The biggest difference between now and my crlazlo2 box-making days (70s and early 80s) is that I don't have to pay the rent and buy food with them. I'm enjoying the process more now, the carving, the sanding and oiling, the bite of my Xacto knives in the wood and seeing the grains come to life when I oil them. A lot of experimenting, re-familiarizing myself with wood. The only power tools I'm using are a 10" band saw and a small belt sander. I'm using mostly hand tools and Xacto blades, and I'm planning on spending more time on individual pieces. Will post more later...
