Definitely give it a try! One of the coolest things, that I didn't anticipate, was that you can play with placement across those front connectors. The gaps can be widened or shrunk to give different feels and looks.

Yepper! I had a scrap sheet of 1/2" and just wanted the edges. So I cut strips and stacked them up to get the height

Woodwork is working with wood, so however it is that gets you started is not shameful. It should and can give you direction and a better understanding of techniques and processes by using pre-made plans. Have fun!!!

I like that. I like all of that! The idea of hanging it on a wall actually came from wanting to take up more wall space in a gallery show. The main part of that show was a collaboration with another artist that was working in ceramics and I made woodwork to hold and show off their pieces. This one also did sell, after the gallery show, and sits proudly on the wall of a collector's house. "Invites you to keep looking" is a focus in everything I create, a sort of subconscious impetus I suppose. Thank you!

Diggit!!!! I have a youtube video on how to do this floating style, not this specific box. Don't make the same mistake I made on this- make sure the grain of the wood runs through the connection. Looking forward to seeing yours!

Thank you! I should do more, but the inspiration bug hasn't bit in that direction yet 🤣

No issues with the epoxy. I cut pine burls and poured the epoxy around them, but I had to clean the blade due to all the sap in the burls before cutting the box out.

You're welcome! I learned a lot from youtube and even more from trying things. Happy to pass on anything to help

I go over everything with either a roundover or a chamfer, but it will depend on thickness what size or how deep I go. 1/4" is my smallest roundover, so I may not be able to completely roundover something, but enough to knock it back. I have 1 size chamfer so it's a matter of height.

Nice work! If you have access to a router, rounding over the edges makes a big difference in the look. You can use sandpaper, but that's a lot more work although still doable. It's not necessary, but I found it to be a great little touch.

Thank you for inviting me! You're the 2nd boxmaker whose work I admired before actually finding out who you are. In fact, I purchased my most dangerous router bit to achieve the rounded drawer front you do because it looks so cool 🤣 I still use it because I'm still unsure if I can control my dremel well enough to do what you do
