Book Description

Discover the beautiful and unique wooden boxes you can easily make on your scroll saw. These 30 heirloom-quality scroll saw projects will show off your woodworking talents and make great gifts.

From the Back Cover

Craft a Collection of Beautiful Boxes with Only One Tool

The wooden box is a classic and popular woodworking project; it's fun to make and useful to have. However, crafting a box can often involve several different tools. In this book, designer and box maker Gary MacKay will introduce you to his simple techniques for making a variety of elegant and functional boxes—30 in all—using only one tool: the scroll saw.

Organized in a progressive-learning format, Box-Making Projects for the Scroll Saw begins with the most basic box and works through to more complicated techniques. You'll learn to make a standard box, add drawers, create a checkerboard design, and, finally, to cut box joints, employing techniques that are usually reserved for more complicated woodworking machinery.

Projects are organized in an easy-to-follow format, accompanied by color photographs and easy-to-use patterns. There is also a chapter on wood, tools, adhesives, box lining, and more.

Your final piece will be the perfect jewelry box, complete with ring tray compartments, dividers, and earring holders—a splendid gift for a loved one. They'll never suspect such a beautiful box could be so easy to make.

Gary MacKay has been designing, making, and selling boxes in craft galleries for over 20 years. He is a frequent contributor to Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts magazine.

Title: Great Book for a Beginner or Experienced Woodworker
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 7, 2007
Review: I have been involved in woodworking for some 50+ years and recently started to look for another avenue to explore. I purchased a scroll saw and needed some plans and hopefully some hints on how to proceed. This book has provided me with a wonderful source of creative box making projects starting with simple boxes and moving along to more advanced. The choices and skill levels are rewarding to the woodworker as well as to the person receiving the finished project. Great plans that produce great results. The author has taken considerable space in this book to guide the beginner in wood choice, scroll saw and blade choices as well as finishing techniques. Hints and suggestions are seen throughout the book. I am very glad to have found this book and from it, I am now making some wonderful gifts and enjoying every minute with my scroll saw and hand tools.

Title: Box Making Projects
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 25, 2013
Review: This book and most of the projects in it are for the intermediate scroller; however, there are some projects for the novice. The ideas in the book make me want to experiment and use the patterns without piecing the wood together to make the light and dark designs. A good book to grow into.

Title: Good book on scroll saw box design.
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 12, 2013
Review: As someone new to using a scroll saw and also self-taught, this book was useful in demonstrating techniques that could be applied to all sorts of projects. I have followed the basic instructions--not particularly interested in the specific projects--wanted something to use to help me understand how to put projects together. Great for this use.

Title: Nice looking small boxes.
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 7, 2012
Review: Projects are attractive, but methods are repetitive. And how many small boxes can one household use.

Could be used for unique gift packaging for jewelery, candies, nuts, etc.
