Does anyone have any plans for building wood boxes for pottery? I have seen
some potters with these boxes and am wondering where they get them. They
certainly add a touch of class to the sale instead of newspaper and a brown
paper bag .

Another thing my late friend Vivika used, was inexpensive small baskets with
lids. You can usually pick them up at Cost Plus, Pier 1 and similar stores.
Michael's also sells baskets and frequently has 50% off sales on them. They
also have these 40% off coupons in their flyers once or twice a month.
The larger hobby stores (Craft Warehouse, Michael's, etc.) often have
unpainted boxes that people buy to do decoupage or stencil.

no, but I would be interested too. I make a range of [wooden] hand mirrors
which would be better boxed - small scale runs of card boxes in Uk are at
silly prices. I've been thinking about making my own.
I know - I should be able to make the boxes myself - and I can - but I'm
always open to new ideas if there's a chance it will make my life easier!
I was thinking along the lines of cutting 3/16 or 1/4" stock on the bandsaw,
and maybe getting a cutter for the router to do quick box/comb joints, maybe
line the thing in decent paper. It does need to be quick and cheap, and
preferably use up off cuts!
