52 Create, my weekly creative outlet for 2011. I’ve been wanting to make some wooden boxes that look like milk crates for quite some time now. Ideally I’d like to make them with a CNC, but until I build one, it looks like I’ll be making them by hand instead…
The box is made out of my favourite, baltic birch, with 1/2 inch sides and a 1/4 inch bottom so it is very sturdy. The final version would have handles cut out and possibly some design in the sides and bottom to more closely resemble a milk crate.
I was a little frustrated with the joints on this project. I used the table saw for accuracy, but found the joints didn’t line up perfectly, and some cuts were not as straight as they should have been. I feel like I was very careful with my measurements and set up, so perhaps it is a case of a low quality blade or improper set up of the fence, I’ll figure it out eventually.
Renos are pretty much finished at my house and the weather is starting to warm up so I hope to tackle some more ambitious projects in the upcoming weeks.
