Years ago, in 1990 or 1991, I attempted to be a garage wood worker. I had taken wood shop when I was in junior high school, now called middle school, at Cedar Park middle school in Beaverton Oregon. For years after that I would build the occasional project or route the occasional sign.
In 1990/1991, don't honestly remember, it seemed like a good idea to build
treasure boxes for my nephews. I built three identical box. I never recorded the design or photos of the boxes and asked my nephew Nick to share a few photos of his box. He provided the photos below.
This page is to provide a place to share what these boxes looked like and how they were built.
