another toy box- this time with new dxf files attached

Some of you may remember the Lego toy box I made for my oldest son that I posted about a couple of weeks ago

Well, a friend's mom asked me to make a similar one, albeit a bit shorter. With my festool track saw, knowledge of how many cutters/shims I needed on my dado blades for this mahogany, and the foreknowledge from doing the first one, this one only took a couple of hours to put together. The finish is mahogany gel stain, topped by a couple of coats of fruitwood danish oil sanded in and then wiped off.

Because the "headboard" is a bit smaller too I decluttered the characters on the sides down to just the main characters. They (and the letters) were done on my carvewright using the DXF importer.

Wow, nice job Lawrence! What a great looking finish. I don't have any piles of legos, but I can sure see how that would be useful for a million other things. If my wife sees it I may be making one for shoes!

Woman and shoes.... I'll never understand that one. I would think 3 pairs ought to be enough for all occasions.

Lawerence - Great job on both and thanks for sharing the dxf's!

Okay is it just invisible to me? Am I supposed to be seeing the photo of the one you made for the mom for her shoes? I only see the lego one.

[eelamb]

Lynn not invisible, just talk, you have to go back to post 1 then to post 6 where it turned into womens shoes.

Funny, my wife was reading this thread and thought along the same lines.. "blah blah blah... blah... OOH, SHOES!!!, I want to see the shoes!"
