This is a 5" box cut from Poplar it was in Scrollsaw Woodworking Magazine on page 50 of the new issue. The recommend 2" stock for the side walls but I didn't have any so I used 3 pieces of 1/2", I should have glued them together before I cut them but I didn't (Lesson Learned) It was impossible to glue them together and get them perfect, so had to do some sanding. Notice the top is curved, that really sets it off. When I first put it all together I thought it was ugly but then after rounding the lid, I had a smile on my face. Used 1/8" plywood for bottom and lid inside.

Looks good, did you round the lid before or after cutting it? what wood is the top or is it stained?
I am thinking of turning the top and then cutting the fretwork, just have to be clever with the pattern.
OOPs just figured it out while writing this. Let you all know how it works.Rolf

Rolf, I think it may cause a problem getting the pattern to lay right if you round it first. The rounding is what really makes the pattern look good. Good Luck.
I used Poplar for the top and stained it with Red Mahogany Spray Stain and then Laquer.

Okie, I will put the pattern on the back not on the curved surface and use my x-ray vision to see the pattern when cutting.
All kidding asside I will cut it from the back.Rolf

It would be truly helpful if all publications were to clearly state on each pattern "enlarge pattern by x% for full size" or something like that which would clue the user in. But I'm like Rolf....I change the size of every pattern to get what I want.

by RolfI agree with you Mark, I am constantly changing or adapting my patterns to suit my taste or the size of the wood that is available to me. Thinking about electronic versions of the patterns, that would be great. But very hard to control. It amazes me how many people have no scruples about sharing....

Reply to Peanuts #1by RolfBruce I just looked up the Pegas blade and the Flying Dutchman puzzle blade.
Pegas TPI 28.2 Thickness .087" Width .0236"
FD TPI 31 Thickness .08 Width.023
So the Flying Dutchman is a bit thinner , not sure it would make a significant difference. Three teeth per...-

by Quartz43Perhaps, we could hear from Fox. Maybe they could try some things and see if it makes things better. Or, they can just keep doing the things the same way.
