SAND paper BOX

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


SAND paper BOXThis is a box I made out of necessity to keep the different grits of sandpaper separated at the lathe. The last shot shows how the paper was being kept. This will keep the dust and chips out of the paper while turning or while stored for the summer. I have one at home and I love it and used this one today and it makes the job a lot easier on the lathe.I cobbled this up from scraps laying outside the shop….1/2” plywood, 1/4” oak plywood and some old barn boards for the edge trim. Each compartment will hold a 1/4 sheet of sandpaper or smaller. This was kind of a test for bandsaw cut finger joints and an off- the-wall hinge. The top is 1/4” so I did not feel I could screw hinges on so I made these pivoting hinges that let the top stand open and you have to slide it forward for it to clear the back. The pins for the pivots are glued into some little round pieces of mesquite and the heads are glued to the box.It is finished with clear matte spray enamel!.cheers, JIm
