Hey Everyone!
I have made so much progress since I last posted. I have successfully completed my box! To get there took a lot of steps however. From where I left off I first had to glue my four side pieces together. After I did that I had to use the belt sander to Smooth down the frame of my box. After I did this I glued my top and bottom on, and belt sanded the whole box. This made The whole box smooth with no sharp edges or gaps. Next week cut off the top! This is when it really start to look like a box. The next few steps were very fun. We had to stain the box, Which is sort of like giving the box of color. There were all different assortments of brown we could choose from. After we pick what color and applied it, we had to polystain the box. This is like Applying protection to the box. I had to do 5 coats of this. After we had to sand the box down again. Next we applied the hinges. This made the box open and close like a door. Next we applied flocking powder to the inside of the box. This is like a felt and you only apply it to the interior of the box. There are many different colors, but I chose blue. The flocking powder coated the whole interior with blue flock. Next comes the final step! Lastly we had to wax the box. This made the box very smooth. Then I was done! Overall this was a very fun process, and I am very happy with my results. It took a long time to make but it was worth it! There are so many things that I’m excited to use my box for! Bye for now
