One of the things I enjoy the most about writing this blog is receiving email. Unfortunately as the blog keeps growing I keep getting further behind on answering email. This is a great problem to have because it means the interest in our hobby is as high as ever. Keep the email coming. Please don't be offended if I don't get back to you right away. I am working on a couple ideas that might help so hang in there with me. Thanks guys.

This scroll saw box is four inches in diameter. I used some 2" thick sycamore for the walls. The top is made up of Birds eye maple and a piece of mystery wood I don't recognize from my scrap box. I wish I would have used a little more contrast in the wood choice but you can learn from my mistake.
You don't have to make the box so tall if your saw can't handle the thickness. Sycamore is a very easy wood to cut so my saw handled it with no problem. I would try to keep the walls at least 1" deep if at all possible.
Notice how the lid pieces are rounded over where they meet. This makes any cutting errors less noticeable when you close the lid. The lid pieces pivot on dowel rods inserted into the walls.

Think Safety
Remember to keep the safety of yourself and others in your work shop in your thoughts at all times. Always wear eye and ear protection. Follow all the manufactures warnings that came with your power tools. If I demonstrate something on this web site that you don't feel is safe, don't do it. Your safety is your responsibility. Fingers are handy things, try to keep all of them.
