And not a blade entry hole in sight! I also love what you did with the box--looks like angel wings.

Looks nice--I like the wood choice and finish. How did the inside sanding work out?

[handibunny]

If it ain't broke . . .

Seriously, without knowing what went wrong, you might end up with a mess on your clock. Of course you can leave it as is. It's your project, after all!

Judy Peterson also has a menorah puzzle that is lovely, and was in one of the later issues than the shalom puzzle.

[handibunny]

Nice! You'll love it!

Check out the Hebrew symbol "chai" which means "life" and is often found in the center of the Star of David....

Nice job on the Star of David.

If you're looking for other options, my Hamsa box in a recent issue of SSW might be of interest. It's a more elaborate project, but might be something to offer to your customer, if something more elaborate is of interest.

I did a menorah for...

Ouch! Sounds like history repeating itself, unfortunately. 😰😰😰😰

Seriously, at the very least he needs to use a topical antibiotic, and if you can hog tie him and drag him to a medical facility, so much the better. I think some things, like health, are worth throwing tantrums...

Glad you were able to find the wood you needed. Looks quite stunning! Now you have two lovely lily boxes. 😉

[handibunny]

Can't add much that hasn't been said, just that I, too, am grateful for your wit, wisdom, and continued presence on the forum.

And the spring loaded center punch works great!

[handibunny]

Glad to hear you're safe!

Those little dart holders are really unique, and that's quite a sizeable piece! I think I'd have preferred an oak finish too, but some people like the darker look. It looks like a family heirloom to me, and one to be enjoyed for many years to come.

Hope your son is appropriately appreciative—I...

Thanks, Wayne, Trackman and Karl, for your input.

I'm going to have to spend some time at the drill press to see how these ideas work when I actually try them out. I sometimes have trouble thinking abstractly, and need to be more hands-on to get my head around things.

Foot...

If you drilled all the holes in Step 1, you'd still have to position them precisely on each strip, front to back and side to side, and then you'd have to be concerned about lining up the holes of the three strips exactly for the first glue-up, in addition to focusing on getting a good joint between...

Melanie, all suggestions are welcome. Sometimes you just don't know which will be the best one until you try.

And thanks to everyone for your input. I have some testing to do.

[handibunny]

I guess you could do it that way, but I've never tried. If you have my bowl book, check out p. 55 for an example of how I make this type of grid.

Nice having a keepsake tool. My father was the kind who'd call an electrician to change a fuse. . . .

[handibunny]

Another toy! I just checked with Joe and we don't have one. Do they come in different sizes, and do you have any recommendations?

[handibunny]

Haven't played her yet. We'll see what happens when she visits next month!

[handibunny]

The detail is just incredible, Donna. That is truly a labor of love, and I'm glad it got the recognition it deserved.

[handibunny]

Thanks, Betty. But please ask Bruce what to do about the square in the center. This "simple" project was almost as challenging as the étagère we made, and a good example of what not to make for a crafts fair, at least not in this version.
