#boxbuilding

I am so excited to share the cover of my first authored and illustrated picture book, Boxitects! I’ve been hard at work on this one for the past couple of years but it’s on it’s way! Can’t wait to share more from it! Stay tuned! Available September 3rd in Canada and January 14th, 2020 everywhere else. @hmhkids @harpercollinsca #boxitects #makers #creators #stem #steam #kimsmith #hmh #harpercollinsca #clarionbooks #childrensbooks #picturebooks #illustration #kidlit #kidlitart #boxes #boxbuilding #cardboard #cardboardart https://www.instagram.com/p/BvCHCMplnWO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1q71tn9ld1sr4

I attached a #brass #chain to the #sapele and #walnut #box to keep the lid from swinging too far (I worked on it while waiting for poly to dry on another project.) I ended up taking a link out of the chain after this picture was taken. Of course, I used my #dewalt #20voltmax #hammerdrill to #drill the #pilothole for the #screw . That's about the smallest space I can fit it into. I think that I'm going to invest in a right angle drive. #woodworking #carpentry #customcarpentry #madetoorder #madetoordercarpentry #custom #imsocrafty #craftybastard #boxes #boxbuilding #whenindoubtmakeabox #ifindoubtmakeabox #maythegrainbewithyou #buildingboxes #palletwood #dewalttough

Getting ready to add a #mirror and #walnut #trim to the #keepsakebox lid. #woodworking #carpentry #customcarpentry #madetoorder #madetoordercarpentry #custom #imsocrafty #craftybastard #boxes #boxbuilding #whenindoubtmakeabox #ifindoubtmakeabox #maythegrainbewithyou #buildingboxes #palletwood #whythrowitaway #somethingfromnothing #scrapwood #scrapwoodproject #box

The #zinnsser #shellac went on well for most of the box, but I ended up messing up the lid. I'm going to wait for it to fully cure, and then #sand it off. I went on to apply #minwax #finishingwax to the rest of the box, and it looks great. #woodworking #carpentry #customcarpentry #madetoorder #madetoordercarpentry #custom #imsocrafty #craftybastard #boxes #boxbuilding #whenindoubtmakeabox #ifindoubtmakeabox #maythegrainbewithyou #buildingboxes #palletwood #whythrowitaway #somethingfromnothing #scrapwood #scrapwoodproject

Time to #install the #hinges on my #walnut and #sapele #keepsakebox - using my #dewalt #chisel and #20voltmax #hammerdrill of course! #woodworking #carpentry #imsocrafty #craftybastard #customcarpentry #madetoorder #madetoordercarpentry #custom #boxes #boxbuilding #whenindoubtmakeabox #ifindoubtmakeabox #maythegrainbewithyou #buildingboxes #palletwood #dewalttough
