Could you elaborate just a little bit on the jigsaw peg bandsaw box? Sounds
like a good idea.


I don't have any pictures, but "Slide-apart ring"

is the general idea.

I've made "puzzle" boxes like this from 2" ivy or fruitwood where
there have been half-a-dozen pieces to slide out in sequence.

Making them is hard until you grok how to do it, then gets much
easier. The trick is to sketch them out completely, but to saw the
smallest peg first and then on to the largest lid.

If you saw the pegs on a taper and over-length, you can slide them
deeper in and compensate for the saw kerf thickness.
