US Box Swap 2017

I have one project to get out of the way before I start. It’s so important that I have to put this box project second. I lost the fish of my life yesterday. Truly a trophy. Lost her in the rocks as I was trying to land her. This beautiful 30+ lb striped bass took my lure with her, which was one I made that was very productive, so yesterday I set out to make 14 more all alike to replace it. This will take a week or more to turn, mill and paint. It may also be all the inspiration I need for the box. I’m thinking my box will be fishy. Getting the creative juices flowing now. How can I make a fishy box?

I am in.

Awesome. Let’s roll in a few more. Keep it going!

My box is done. Ready to go. By the way my box does not have a lid. Is that a problem?

Anything goes. So no problem. No restrictions on size, color, design, hardware, anything. You can make a box with no lid or you can make a box with a lid that doesn’t open or anything you can dream up.

But please give the rest of us a chance to catch up. We don’t ship until October or the end of September. :-)

I haven’t started mine yet. Its been too summery. Anyone else get started yet?

No, I haven’t. I have a design in mind though! It’s been one of those summers where I just don’t feel like doing anything out there. Bring on Fall!

I will be leaving for Denmark to celebrate my son’s masters. Will not be back until the 17th Oct. So if I need to send before I leave, I will need an address.

Oh jeez. I totally forgot about this. I’ve been so busy with other things. I haven’t even started. May I please beg the rest of you for a time extension? Maybe another month?

Fine by me.

—Madts.

I’m right there with you Brian. Another month would be great!

OK I’m back from Denmark and I are ready.

—Madts.

I’m so sorry. I am completely lost for time between kids, fishing and work, I have a 25 hour schedule and sleep is a very small part of it. I’m going to need more time. Honestly I won’t be able to get to it until after Thanksgiving. If you guys want to go ahead without me, I can still handle the administrative end of it, but shop time is basically nil for a while. I feel really bad about this but life and stuff. Sorry. Let me know how you want to proceed.

Brian, I understand. Send me info and I will take care of it.

—Madts,

I look at the list and see 4 names out of 3000 members.. Pretty sad showing.
