I like all the detail that you created for your box. Excellent job. I hinges, the handles, the stars....every thing. How did you do you dovetails?

Re: E Pluribus Unum box
Thank you very much. Here's a PDF file I wrote and posted on the shark forum on dovetail carving. The set up takes a little time but once done the cutting is fast and of course accurate.

Re: E Pluribus Unum box
WOW that is such a cool box.
I love the hinges. I made a set of hinges one time. Totally HAND tools no power at all. They are just so cool. I like the Eagle wing hinges - never thought about something like that.
I just LOVE - the MADE in USA style.
That is "in your face" Made in USA. I just LOVE it.
I know lot's of people that would love a box like that.
Everything about it is spectacular.

Re: E Pluribus Unum box
For this design, I loosely based the dimensions on the golden ratio, 1.618. So the sides were made from standard 1x10 material. Width of box without handles is 16 1/4 inch, depth 10.25, height with lid 10 inches.
Thank you all for your kind comments everyone!

Re: E Pluribus Unum box
Excellant Job Bill. Dido to all the comments. I especially like the winged hedges and the American thyme. You got me thinking now.

Re: E Pluribus Unum box
Thanks ALL for your kind comments. This was my first attempt at CNC dovetails and wood hinges and I couldn't be happier with the way this came out.

Re: E Pluribus Unum box
Just noticed I was promoted to V-carve Apprentice.
I guess that distinction has more to do with how much I type and not as much to do with how much I carve? Lol

Re: E Pluribus Unum box
I know it's been said already, but the hinges are cool enough to warrant yet another big-thumbs-up on 'em! Very clever and well done! The whole piece is nice, but the hinges truly rock.
