Made this little box for the box contest that ends in two days. Used some scrap wood I had. This is my first box made with my mitre saw in our cellar. Had to hand sand all of this ๐Ÿ˜ฌ ouch hands.

Ya baby! good box! I love how the bottom is recessed just a little and I love how snug all the joints are

Yes, I'm supper happy about the result as well. My mitre saw isn't the most precise. It could use some fine tuning prior to my next project.

A box is 1 of those things where you see someone's & think, "I could do that." Then, after trying, you realize they did it better. Great work & keep improving!

I like that the plywood layer pattern is connected on all sides. Like a circle.
