October’s challenge is to turn a lidded box. But, to pop or not to pop, that is the question. For those of you that are scratching your chin, If the box is small enough and the lid is tight enough, you will get a pop when the box is opened. That is the extra credit challenge. For boxes where you expect that they will get frequent use, you may want to forgo the pop. You can also get extra credit and bragging rights for embellishing your box with contrasting woods. Unfortunately, none of the videos below demonstrate “the pop”. If that is your desire, you either need to figure that out on your own, or search YouTube for additional box videos.
Wig stands are also due in October. So, keep your lidded box simple so that you have more time to make a wig stand. Our goal is 20. Let’s do that one better and collectively do 30. And, there is nothing wrong with doing more than one.
