The band saw makes box projects easier than ever Not only is the band saw safer than a table saw, but it also allows woodworkers to make a variety of projects without a shop full of expensive tools.
The Ultimate Band Saw Box Book is the culmination of Donna Menke's many years of woodworking experience. Menke guides the reader through the basics of selecting and handling wood to cutting, sanding, assembling, and even repairing your box projects. As most boxes are not complete without embellishment, Menke also instructs on carving and inlay.

- Basic boxes
- Nesting boxes
- Puzzle and sliding-lid boxes
