Making the Case for Reading Glasses

  • My wife and I have reached the age where a little help with readers is becoming a reality...I've worn contacts for a long time, but haven't needed readers until recently. The ones we've purchased have been cheap ones and those don't come with a case like my regular glasses do so I thought I'd make one instead. I had a cut off from a Hemlock board that I couldn't bring myself to throw away that I decided to use. I think Hemlock is a beautiful wood...but don't often see things made with it. I have made a number of continuous grain boxes...but always with horizontal grain. I thought it would be fun to try one with the grain running vertically...I think it turned out nice. I was going to use Hemlock on the ends as well...but, in the end I decided to cap the box with some Cocobolo scrap that I had. Hope you enjoy this.

    So many people do not understand how much skill it takes to make something like this And to have a continuous grain box makes it even more of a challange, you have to make sure and not cut the wrong piece. and install it in the correct direction. This is a project for skilled craftsmen such as your self, I can not do that and have it come out anywhere close to that quality-great video.

    Who would have thought that a glasses-box vid could be so mesmerizingly beautiful? Very nice work Stan and a really super vid, excellent pictures and editing, and such suitable music. Good job mate.

      Thanks, Richard...I built a wall cabinet out of that hemlock board years ago and kept that scrap because I thought the grain looked too good to burn...glad I did!
