Speaking of Celtic - secret box
My 23 year old daughter has always coveted my 'secret' box.
It's a box with a secret lock integrated into the design. About a week ago I was cleaning mine, now over 30 years old, and she said "Mom, I know this sounds kind of funny, but if anything ever happens to you, I'd really like to have that box" Back in the day I used it as a stash box. So I asked myself, why wait? She LOVES dragons so I went crawling around the web looking for ideas for the dragon to put on top. Eventually I found a design that I could alter in order to achieve what I was looking for. We're Irishmen, so I wanted that in the design, and of course the dragons. I have an OLD book shelf from back in the 20's or 30's that I scrounged up several years ago in the hopes of loving it back to life. I have one that I had already restored and thought that since this was a perfect match for it that I would make them companion pieces. However this particular one had been badly chewed by a big dog. It's been too long in the storage mode of restoration. SO I made an executive decision and I chose to use the wood from the shelves to make her box. The shelves are just the right thickness. So, here is what I have so far. I used my original box as the inspiration piece and started carving the top. Her birthday is on the 9th of October, I hope to have it finished by then. -- Kate ______ /l ,[____], l-L -OlllllllO- ()_)-()_)--)_) The shortest distance between two points, is a lot more fun in a Jeep! |

I was just pulling most of it out of my imagination. One of my daughter's dreams is to visit Ireland someday.

Not involving the Iris, but my wife and I have been reading the "Outlander" series and there's a lot of Celtic/Scots references and drawings... I think the reading is inspiring the wife to start more Celtic type wood burning, other than the knots she does now.. So, in the far distant future when you're on the other side of the grass, will your daughter have both boxes? mac Please remove splinters before emailing |

Very cool, I want to crave like that when I grow up.
This secret box is it the type you have to slide parts around to find the compartment for the key, then rearrange it a second time to get to the lock.? Mike Watch for the bounce.

She's the only one of my children that really knows it's history or would use it for something special. I'd like to see some of your wife's woodburning, I bet it's lovely. As to the carving, it's not that hard if you have the right tools - which I do NOT. I'm making do with what I have for now but have been researching tools and see a lot of goodies out there. I used to carve wax, much easier than wood and if you made a mistake you could just melt a little back into the gash and carve it again. This is a whole new ball game but I am enjoying it immensely.

Hey Mike,
In this particular case it will not be that elaborate. It will have one or maybe two sliding panels that will enable it to unlock. No key. I'm thinking of a way to engage a spring loaded button on it somewhere as part of the mystery... but my head is so rummy from close up whittling that I only have a shadow od an idea. I thought that some inset gemstones into the borders with one of them having a catch on the bottom with a spring that held it up.. It's coming. Kate "asmurff" wrote in message ...

Very nice box indeed. Both my husband and I are very fond of all

"Lee Michaels" muttered: There are some things you need to learn about this woodworking thing. If your hubby wants you to make something, it is a perfect excuse to buy more tools. Don't pass up this opportunity! Ha! Yes, that is true and I try as often as I can get away with it! That's how I got my lathe. Unfortunately, we lack the most important thing... space. I've spent some time this year trying to clean out our storage barn (8x16.. I think) so I can try and convert at least one side of it into a workshop. I so need a saw (table, band, whatever). Right now I have to beg on someone else to get my wood cut up. We're hoping to move next year, so basements, garages and outside workshops are on the list of additions!! I'm trying hard so I can then talk my father-in-law into giving me the Delta shop scroll saw he has hanging out in his barn. Cast iron table and all! If I can find room for it, I'll be rebuilding it and sawing everything in sight!! Thanks for the tip!! ;-) `Casper |

Yes, all by hand. I don't have any fancy carving machines. I have my Xacto knives and some small, very cheap (Harbor Freight) carving tools that I'm using.

Hey Mac!
Those are great! I truly admire anyone who can do faces. I have tried so many times to sketch a face and have never come up with anything more than a pair of eyes and a crumpled piece of paper.

I have not had much time to play with it but I DID buy some circular(?) blades that let you cut in any direction and WOW it was fun! You can cut itty bitty patterns just like carving cheese. |

Assuming that scroll saw uses plain end blades instead of pin type blades, on of those circular blades isn't necessary as those small plain end blades can turn very sharply and leave a very smooth edge that will need little if any sanding. Takes a little practice but the results are much nicer. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Each has it's own benefits and drawbacks. I'm looking forward to making something with it soon. I may use it in the making of my next box... hmm... the wheels are beginning to turn again Kate |
