Another try at a glass box
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)
 A few years ago I made a box that had blue glass in it. My son told me that I could not go around the corner with it, so I had to show him that I could.
Then he said I could NEVER have it on three sides, so this is to prove to him that I could.
It is made from Koa. Corners and top are all mitered. The tray has glass that is square because I could not find a router bit to cut a slot that thin. I used a 7 1/4” saw blade to make the slot. The other glass is 1/8” and I had a router bit to cut that.Thanks for looking.

1921 Italian Carousel horse restoration
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)
 Well howdy everyone, it's been awhile since I've posted anything. Over the past couple of years I've been involved with doing some carousel horse restorations, basically this involved carving parts that were missing, and prepping the horses for final painting. I've done enough of them (at least 15 – 20) that the thrill and challenge is gone now, time to move on. I recently made a major milestone on a cabinet that I've worked on for about 10 years now when I could get the time. It is an Aztec themed cabinet and over 1,000 hours have gone into it so far. The backsplash alone took over 100 hours to make. I'll show that when I finish the mirror (about 400 hours to go) and let that be seen. okay, back to the horses….........
The first 4 pictures is a 1921 Italian made horse, it was in horrible shape when I started on it and took 5 months to get it to the end results. I carved a new rear leg on it and the damage to the mane and head…....well the old saying of “They shoot horses don't they” came to mind. Everything on it needed a lot of loving care and I gave all I had to help it out.
The fifth picture is an older mechanical horse, I did both the bottom, restored the internal mechanisms, new coin box install, etc. etc. ......... Then I went to work on the horse itself.
The sixth and final picture is another horse I restored, here it is in primer ready to do final paint. I quit taking pictures of all the horses, it was getting boring. Hope you enjoyed the show. My best to all of you.
