I saw this done in a magazine and had to try my version of it. I found a free vector graphic file and used it as a pattern. I used a separate bottom instead of cutting the bottom of the box. I changed my original body material because I did not allow for the extra width of the body when I cut the blanks. An unusual box but fun to make. I'm not sure how practical it is but is different. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epZMwGhEJQo

I make a box with a sliding lid in this video. It is a simple box. The most critical part is getting the angles correct on the lid and keeping the lid from being glued to either the box body or the runners on each side of it while keeping it snug in between. This is just another way to handle the lid for a box. The pattern is a Steve Good pattern and the link to it is below. #TwinOaksTreasures #twinoaksbox https://www.stevedgood.com/slidingbox.pdf Patterns Steve Good (free) https://scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com/ https://www.stevedgood.com/catalog/index.php Sawshub (free) https://sawshub.com/free-scroll-saw-patterns/ Northernester (free) https://northernnester.com/free-scroll-saw-patterns/ suncatcherstudio (free) https://suncatcherstudio.com/patterns/ Winfieldcollection (paid) https://www.thewinfieldcollection.com/category/All-Scroll-Saw-Projects-Woodcraft-Patterns Bear woods (both) https://www.bearwood.com/scroll-saw-patterns-free-for-sale.html Sue Mey (both) https://scrollsawartist.com/ Epic Saw Guy (free) https://epicsawguy.com/free-scroll-saw-patterns/ Used Book Sites for scrollsaw pattern books (search for scroll saw books) https://www.abebooks.com/ https://www.alibris.com/ Amazon (Afilliate link) https://amzn.to/3Fqpn6W Fox Chapel Publishing (books and magazines) https://www.foxchapelpublishing.com/ Excellent thin hardwood vendor http://ocoochhardwoods.com/ Also can buy thin hardwoods here http://woodcraft.com/ Baltic Burch on Amazon (Affiliate link) https://amzn.to/3kTbMNs Dremel drill bit set: https://amzn.to/3ABtTgf Jeweler file set: https://amzn.to/2XTC4q3 Non affiliate links Another file set: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Euro-Tool-Vinyl-Case-Economy-Needle-File-Set-44-Set-6/366033260?athbdg=L1700 Another drill bit set: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Dremel-628-03-High-Speed-Steel-Drill-Bit-Set-for-Metal-Rotary-Accessory-7-Pcs/16782563 https://mikesworkshop.com https://www.seyco.com The links are affilliate links.

This video demonstrates the process of cutting a relief piece on the scroll saw. Three factors determines the amount of raised or recessed relief, the angle, the direction of the cut and the size of the blade. The smaller the angle, such as 3 degrees compared to 8 degrees, the larger the relief. A 3 degree angle will make a cut lift higher out of the original than 8 degrees will. The direction of the cut will determine if it is a raised or recessed relief. On a saw that tilts the work surface to the left a clockwise direction of cut will cause the cut piece to recess into the original surface. On the same saw a counter clockwise direction of cut will cause the piece to raise higher in relief in comparison to the original surface. If the saw tilts the opposite direction then the outcome is reversed. The larger the blade then the wider the kerf (the width of the cut caused by removal of material by the blade) and therefore the higher or lower the cut piece will move. #TwinOaksTreasures Goose Heart link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HywIBekCzYaQzaEBzvnAgYkPvVx3Rlf2/view?usp=sharing ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWb0dkZ7Wno

I am working on a larger more complex project and and pressed for time. I did this little short video to have something to post on my usual weekly time. I will try to have a more involved project to post next week and I hope a video on the 'larger' project at a later date. This is another shadow art cut from baltic birch ply. The pattern is from a Steve Good set of patterns. https://www.stevedgood.com/shadowart.pdf ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-a4L5mDeAE
