Making a bespoke wooden box.

[Yorkie]

at this point I don’t yet know if I will succeed in making the nameplate....

I do! Trust me on that

How do I know?

Very occasionally your projects may stall when other priorities come along, (like chimmney's threatening to collapse!) but they never fail.

Quote of the day:

"The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won't". ~Henry Ward Beecher

Anyone else would have had a Traffolite badge made for the box at Timpson's while they waited. Nah - way too easy!

I noticed at the piercing link you included, that on thin plate, it's often customary to cut it on the angle with a piercing saw. We tend to do that automatically when sawing flat sheet with a hacksaw, but it's a useful tip when using a piercing saw on thin plate to stop it chattering.

Thanks for an interesting post - looking forward to the next installment Colin!
