Aha, nice to see someone else is also using Tinkercad for their woodworking plans :) I haven't found any limitations yet. Have you tried using "holes" to cut other shapes? This way, you could create the tapered legs by cutting away some material with a "hole". Tutorial:Nice desk, by the way!

Thanks, Audrey! It's indeed perfect to get rid of scraps. Although you shouldn't underestimate the length of leather required. It's deceitfully long, because it's wrapped around the wood.

Cool! Does it hold an edge well?
- BossyRangs commented on dpmakestuff's instructable Dovetailed Star BoxView Instructable »
If I may quote, regarding top lid construction:'This is a method I came up with that make it look like the top is one solid piece of thick wood...''I've never seen this done before so I'm claiming at my own!' Doesn't leave much room for interpretation, does it? I would be more careful with such claims. Regardless, it's still a very nice box.

I love it! Hate to break it to you, but the lid construction method exists already. I've seen Paul Sellers use it before. Still, very ingenious of you to come up with it independantly.

Great build! I would've thought there would be a balance problem, but to my surprise it seems to work fine.

I love it, Linn! You inspired me to make a similar one. I noticed that the length/width ratio of this box is close to the golden ratio. Is this a coincidence? Or do you try to approximate it for all your boxes, so it is pleasing to the eye?

Is there a way to undo a stitch when you aren't happy with it? Going backwards doesn't work because then you are backstitching.

The scale is indicated on the plan, with a black bar that is exactly 10 cm. Hope that helps.

Great job! I love the ribbon. The top piece of the ribbon doesn't seem to have much glue surface though. Did you use a special glue for that?
By the way, you got my vote! What better item to enter in the 'Homemade Gifts Contest' than an actual gift?
View Instructable »Off the top of my head, I wouldn't know how to make it stronger either. Maybe a construction adhesive for the last part? But since the bow has a decorative function, it will hold up fine as it is.

Merci bien! Vous avez tellement raison!
View Instructable »Agreed. It's almost therapeutic to work with hand tools. The racket of power tools is indeed not very relaxing :-) Glad you liked my box. I'm sure you could make one too, with a little patience.

Thanks! Good tools can be had for very little at flea markets. Usually people don't know how to sharpen, and hand tools are deemed obsolete as soon as they start to become dull. The biggest investment would probably be the wood for a sturdy workbench.

Sure, use the CNC instead. Might even take you longer with programming and all. Will let you know if I'm in the neighbourhood.
- BossyRangs commented on deluges's instructable Three Tips for the Hand Plane OwnerView Instructable »
That's a myth. It started in woodworking schools in the 1930s to prevent children from putting down the plane on metal objects, thereby damaging the blade. Assuming your workbench is made of wood, there's no harm in putting it upright. For more information, check out this link:https://paulsellers.com/2017/08/mis-placing-plane/

Alright, we just need to settle on a day, then :-) We're actually not so far away. I live in Belgium. I'm curious to see your CNC build.
- BossyRangs commented on bongodrummer's instructable Fixing Twist in a Slab or BoardView Instructable »
Good overview on all methods for removing twist. Will remember this. I do sense some contempt for hand planes, since you call them cave-man style. I challenge you to a dual: you with a router sled, me with a scrub plane and smoother. I'll even let you build the sled first.
- BossyRangs commented on BossyRangs's instructable Secret Hitler Dovetail Box (only Hand Tools)View Instructable »
You might be right. But from the gamemakers' point of view, I can understand they needed villains and 1 supervillain. It's not up to me to discuss politics, I'm just showing how to make a box.

Agreed, I think it would :) I made a computer desk a few years back, also with tapered legs. Just to give you an idea of what's possible.
