STARTED THESE IN JUNE 2009 WITH ODDS AND ENDS OF BEECH/YEW/AND ASH I HAD LYING AROUND. THESE ARE IDEAL FOR KEEPING YOUR BITS AND PIECES IN. I USED THE RADIAL SAW TO MAKE THESE BOXES AND THE JOINTS ARE MITRED AND HOUSED AND REBATED. WAXED AND POLISHED. THEY TOOK A WHILE TO MAKE AS I ONLY SPENT A COUPLE HOURS A WEEK ON THEM. NO SENSE IN RUSHING.!
