woodworking simple box | I predict a fortune telling box

woodworking simple box

Wow, everyone came up with great guesses about my mystery box. Truth is, Jan, who was first to post a comment, actually nailed it: its going to be a magic fortune telling box. Its completely different from the one that bewitched William Shatner, but the idea is the same. It has lots of note cards containing answers to questions. You ask a question, turn the crank, and out pops a surprisingly mystical and dangerously accurate answer.
"Will this project ever turn out the way I planned?""That is for you to decide."Creepy.
Well, getting the little wheel to churn out only one card at a time has been quite a challenge. Its sort of working now. After a bunch of trials of various materials, it turns out that 60 grit sandpaper seems to grip the cards fairly well.
I plan on finishing it up and painting it tomorrow. Its been an interesting exercise.

On another note, I was most impressed to receive this picture from Suzanne Cronin in New Hampshire who tells me her son surprised her with a heart-in-a-heart picture frame for Christmas. I love to hear about kids who get the bug to do some woodworking. And I have to say, this is kind of tricky to make.

If youd like to make your own heart-in-heart frame, heres my video with a template you can download. (Hey, Valentines Day is coming up soon!)
