DiResta Wood Boxes

As a kid, my grandfather used wood cottage cheese boxes for random parts in the shop, he had 60-70 of them! Unfortunately, they are lost to time… I always wanted the same, but those wood boxes hard to find… so I made 40 3" x 3" x 12" wood boxes.

I did some research and discovered a few methods used to make the original wood boxes in batches. I updated some of the techniques along the way.

I used my Shopbot to handle the wood joinery and the Full Spectrum laser to do the branding ... Originally I was going to use the printing press, but the hard maple that I used to make the boxes was not soft enough to letter press. Also, I wanted the branding to be deep for the sanding stage. So I ended up only branding 12 of the wood boxes because of time.

Thank you
