Readers res

Fine Wo odworking and often where the
information sharing about woodworking
gets the most exciting. We've had a few
examples recently tl1at bring mat message

jewelry boxes to sources of unusual wood.

#100 to ask readers to send in pho
tos and information about meir tool chests.
"Nearly a year and over 30 toolboxes lat
er, it's obvious there's a lot of talent and
passion for excellence out mere," said
Laurence. Readers from all parts of me
United States and Canada responded. "It
was dificult narrowing the field to fit five
magaZine pages, and many ine toolboxes
had to be excluded," he added.
The toolbox featured on the cover of tl1is
issue is a fine example of me kind of work
Fine Wo odworking
readers are doing.
Made by Mark Nels, an architectural wood
worker who lives outside Atlanta, Ga., me
box has a coopered top, pulls made from
buffalo nickel belt studs, and handmade
hardware, including a spring-release lock
ing mechanism. When it came to adding
anomer personal touch, Nels turned to his
computer and a word processing program
to complement his woodworking tools.
"I found long ago I don't enjoy carving,
but since I wanted my last name and me
year on the box (toolbox tradition), I
found Word for Windows some help,"
Nels said. "I found me font and the size of
me letters I wanted, printed mem and used
double-stick tape to hold it on me curve of
me handles. I cut out me letters wim a ra
zor blade and used a scratch awl to textur
ize me bottom of tl1e cutout."

Now Lunde is working to pass on some
of me skills she has acquired. "Since I enjoy
woodworking so much, I now teach ladies
60 to 70 years old who all enjoy my hobby
along with me," she writes. "Building
things with our own hands makes us all
feel a little better about ourselves."
