For several months now, I've looked forward to
publishing this issue. The business-card case, which begins on page 28,
excites me because we've
based
the design on my grandfather's case.
I
never met
Joseph
B.
Scannel1 (he died
in
1928 when my mother was
just 10 years old), but my grandmother told me he religiously carried the
same case in his suitcoat JXlCket.
For years I've cherished this pocket case, but only recently connected
with a new friend who volunteered to redesign the project. Frank
Finocchio of The Guitannakers Connection, a division of The Martin
Guitar Company, reworked the case and developed a simple construction
method. Although my grandfather's case has ornate parquetry on both
sides, the streamlined design in this issue relies on the same thin, yet
basic components. Frank added his personal touch
by
including a couple
of
pearl
dots to decorate the case. And now the project has
snowballed-we show additional alternatives on page 30, and we're
looking for more ideas from you. Here's your chance to get involved!
Dear Reader,
Another Project
in this issue, the jewelry box beginning on
page 24, also has an interesting story behind it. Although we penciled in
a jewelry box months ago for this issue's contents, we really hadn't
settled on a design. Just when we started getting serious about
developing a rough sketch, Jim Downing, our design editor, opened a big
envelope from Robert Colpetzer of Clinton, Tennessee. In the envelope,
Bob sent along just the project Jim had in mind. Come to find out, Bob
retired recently after teaching industrial arts for 20 years at a suburban
Chicago high school. "My goal with this project," Bob explained, "was
that a first-year student could finish this jewelry box before Christmas.
It's hard not to succeed with this design. And I think just about any
woodworker would enjoy building it."
"My students built so many of these' over the years," he added, "that
I could actually predict where they would have difficulty if they weren't
paying attention." Certainly. his detailed notes about the project
streamlined our editing. Thanks, Bob, for sharing a classic, practical
design with
Weekend Woodworking Projects
readers.
