I just got the second set a few months ago, but their 4 5/8" from pin to pin.

So the others are yours my friend.

Respect, brother. Even my SWMBO said "that's cool". Respect.

I have wanted to try a third pin at times for the reason you stated above - "bend the wood to your will" - but haven't yet done so. I was thinking of using brass tubing on the pin part between scales just because that's what I have on hand.

As the fortunate recipient of this particular piece of Outbacks work I can tell you it looks even better in person and the scales do seem impossibly thin, yet are still strong

Thanks Alan. I still look at that pic, and really miss that razor. She sure is pretty, and was fun ta do. The scales haunt me in my sleep. Hints of black,brown,and gold are entrenched in my memory banks. [emoji31]

On another thread, I said of myself "I am a semi-retired Contractor that enjoys using his tools for the occasional project".
These occasional projects are my wood therapy. Got things off my mind, relieved stress, helped me to think of solutions
to problems. I have a passion for woodworking and the tools that I use. Around 20 boxes built, most given away (still
have 7 laying around collecting dust), I don't know their value nor do I care. The first pictures are of one that I gave
away yesterday to a well deserving ray of sunshine in my life for the last 16 years. A lady working at the quickie mart
that has brightened my day every time we've met. I finally returned the favor. You should've seen the smile on her face.
I hope she and her family enjoy it for many years. On a side note, don't ask for one, they're not for sale or trade and I
don't know why or when I'll give one away.



Citation Migration (only one created with handles)


Modified Airborne (loved the final look of the mahogany after applying the tung oil)



Whale Play (the biggest one I made, 8.5"(h) x 13.5"(w) x 8"(d)

Terrific flow to those boxes brother. Sort of reminds me of native art I've seen up in the north. And that is meant as a compliment.
Interior and exterior lines flatter the grain, and each other very well.
Really nice work, thanks for sharing them.

Thank you. I've lost the pattern book (or lent it out), but I remember it having a Canadian publishing address.

P.S. Just looked up the spelling, that should be cetacean migration. All the designs should somehow resemble whales.

Wow those are fantastic Panama60. Great lines and excellent craftsmanship.

Very nice work Panama, from what I remember these types of boxes were called bandsaw boxes.
