Thread: custom J'G Escher hone box

Tintin, how were you able to remove that label off of the stone?
It's a great place for that label as well!


OH! You explained that!


A very nice touch there. Your label must be perfect!

Not to be a burden, but any chance you could show a few more photos, tintin? Say of the bottom and sides a bit more; it looks like you've put some nice care and detail all around here.

I'll see if i can get some more posted later this afternoon.

Here's some pictures of the jig i made to cut the slots. It was meant to be a "one off" type of jig but if i were to make any more it would have been helpful to be adjustable as it was hard to get it right on and i ended up having to custom fit the hone with some chisel work.

A top view, the side i ran the router on using a pattern attachment on my router base.

bottom view. I had to put a strip on masking tape on the wood blank so that it would fit snugly (a place where adjust-ability would have been helpful)

and my router base plate

and some more of the finished product,

Thank you! I really love that design. All the little details you put into it really make it.
