Bandsaw Box

This was my first attempt at a bandsaw box. I took inspiration from a post on www.woodworkingformeremortals.com facebook page. I really liked the way the ply wood looked, and since i had some lying around, along with a bunch of red oak, that's what i used.



I used some purple heart cutoff that was lying on the bench for the handle and finished with  linseed oil.

It was really easy to make and only took half a day and most of that time was letting the glue dry. It does take a lot of sanding and would be easier with some smaller sanding tools. (all I had was a random orbit sander) Also, next time I will get a 1/8 blade for the bandsaw. It will make cutting the sharp radius on the corners much easier.
