Here are a few images from the past couple of months while I was battling with my computer:
this is a tribute to the firemen at ground zero.

Ned,
That is a great looking Bandsaw box, is that your design? What wood did you use?
Nice work
Steve

Steve loosely based on a Wood design, but my own dimensions to fit the stock on hand. That is Butternut, I cut then glued up a blank, cut the outside shape to rough dimentions, cut the back off, cut the drawers out, etc... The shapes just came from the wood, for finish it has several coats of satin poly after sanding on the belt sanders and spindle sander in the drill press.
I think I've reached a 'limit' with my current bandsaw, so I'm saving up for a new saw from Grizzly, the G0555, the old craftsman I'm using just can't keep enough tension for the resawing etc I want to do. so... I figure sometime around... oh November I'll have a new toy, er tool to play with.
Glad you liked the box, I'll have to find the other one I made around the same time and get it finished up too.
