Hello All,

I have been lurking around this group now for the past few months
picking up loads of excellent tips and advice whilst making my
transition into newbie woodworking.

I have just about completed my first project (bandsaw box for SWMBO)
and I am really pleased with the results, I hope my wife will be too
(it's a surprise present for our wedding anniversary). I will post
some pictures later for anyone who may be interested. Basically it's a
rounded rectangle box (almost an arc), made from zebrano, with a pull
out draw which is of the same shape. I've just got to make a small
handle for the drawer and four small feet (time to try out the new
lathe) and then apply a finish.

Anyway to get to the point, the main reason for this message other than
to say hello, is to say a big THANKYOU to you all for sharing your vast
wealth of knowledge and experience as I'm sure I wouldn't have made it
this far in woodworking without your help.

Thanks Again

Mark

You're certainly welcome. Glad we could help. What color are you going
to paint the zebrano?

I'm sure it would look nice in a charteuse latex eggshell.. about three
coats.

Howdy Mark! Pull up a chair. Did you bring any beer?
