Just a Plane Box

[Ron Brese]

Excellent in every aspect, Ron.  One of the most memorable craftman's demonstrations I have seen was the making of a kumiko screen.  No glue used, even in large panels.  

Do you have a guess on the time involved to make that box?

Mike I spent 3 days fitting the pieces of the Kumiko panel. I had to take frequent breaks to rest my eyes. Shooting all those mating surfaces with a chisel was labor intensive, but satisfying when all was done.

 I probably had a good two days in the casework of the actual box and then still needed to make the lid and fit the Kumiko into it. You can get a crazy amount of time into something like this before you even realize it.

Thanks for your kind comments,

Ron
