.... and would you be willing to give me a hand?

Does anybody have any ideas on finding good books and websites on box design/designs/techniques?

I'd like to make a few in the upcoming months and would appreciate your help.

Thank you.
Howard

Hi Howard,

I have a book at howme that gave me the start I needed. For design ideas I use SawMill Creek, and do a google search for hand made boxes and click on the image tab at the top. then if yousee one you like click on it and see if there is any details. Dont be shocked by the price of some of them though. :-)

Howard,

I have a whole series of box books by Tony Lyngate, also a "good" starter book called Box making Basics by David M. Freedman. As previously noted the Popular Woodworking site has several box making books.
