I can buy a lot of things premade and
I don't understand why some of the folks said to buy one. It looked like I
could make one and something that might be used. I should probably make a
bunch of them and give them as Christmas presents. Yes, I am that guy who
gives you the "homeade" stuff for Christmas.
Have you any idea abt it?You're supposed to give cheap, imported crap that nobody wants. If you give
them stuff you made, they'll think you're a tightwad. :)
(Tongue in cheek here, but I actually have in-laws like that. They have
this whole crazy "if you don't buy comercially produced things for me, no
matter how much they suck, then you don't care about me" culture. Glad I
live 100 miles away from them, but it's really not far enough. Mars
wouldn't be far enough. Maybe somewhere on the far side of the Andromeda
galaxy would be getting into the ballpark.) |

I think that you're missing the pointthat people are trying to make
here. I've never met a woodworker who didn't make presents for friends
and family. Comparing the amount of work that it takes to make one, a
butcher block is harder than a dovetail box, and much cheaper to buy
pre-made. the point being, that butcher blocks take ALOT of work and
nobody will see the work, a nicely made box will be turned over and
around and examined to a much higher degree. More "WOW" factor. A box
is also easier to make with limited tools. |
