Yep. One continuous board. You can see it best on the front corners.

Purple Heart is an exotic wood. Naturally purple. Fairly brittle. Mostly used as an accent.

All scraps I had laying around.

brrrr......10.6F

the thing about little boxes is they take about as long to make as larger boxes. so if you were selling them, you couldn't use material cost x some factor to get an idea of what to charge. you'd have to track how long it took and then figure out what you want to earn per hour.

the hinge mortises were all hand cut, no router, and i had to fiddle with them several times to get them just right. took about an hour to cut them all. a pleasant hour of making shavings in my shop.

I've always admired good joinery. The Japanese have their own style, which is beautiful, and some of the work I've seen from old school craftsmen here is amazing. Very nice work!

a lot of woodworking is making boxes.

the size and joinery vary, but in the end, you need to know how to make things come out square.

i once made a 6 sided box for a set of cooking spoons.... i think i'll stick with 4 sided boxes.

Wow....that's cold for you guys. A good test for your new shop's heating system. Are you nice and toasty in there Doug?

Happy New Year's Ever to everyone. Remember if you're going out tonight that it's amateur night in the clubs and on the roads so stay safe.
Professional party-ers stay home on NYE!

i keep the shop around 60F, just perfect. not too sweaty if i'm doing a lot of moving around and lifting heavy stuff, but not so cool that i need a long sleeve shirt of sweater, t-shirt works just fine. looks like i'm using about 50 gal of propane a month, so the 500 gal tank should last all winter easily. walls are about 9" thick.
