Today was a crazy day, but I was able to get very far on my project. I have mostly everything cut out, all i have to do now is a lot of sanding...whoopy!! Working with wood is a lot harder than with cardboard. I broke the jigsaw at least twice today because the maple wood was a harder wood to work with than walnut. And I am coated with wood shavings...yuck, but i guess it happens. Gosh i'm such a girl... anyways Cutting out my boxes was a little nerve racking because it's the final box, so it needs to be perfect. I am happy that I am as far as I am though. I'm excited to see how it turns out in the end though, so i guess we'll see!!!

  1. Yeah...maple is the hardest of the woods.
    If you sand the insides the weekend, then you can start gluing. Make sure that you wrap string, tape, clamps--whatever works--around the box as the glue dries to get enough pressure on the joints.
