About the Author
Gary MacKay is a designer and box maker who lives with his wife, Helen, in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. He has been designing, making, and selling boxes in craft galleries for more than 20 years. Gary first started woodworking during his high school years when he used a jigsaw to make an end table from pine. After buying a band saw in 1985, he sold band saw boxes through consignment shops in northern Vermont. Now, he concentrates on designing and making wooden items that can be cut on a scroll saw. He is currently juried through the South Carolina Artisans Center, one of the craft galleries where his work is on display. Gary likes to use his scrap wood to make snowflake ornaments and intarsia projects. Whenever he is not working in his woodshop, he can be found out on the golf course or in the vegetable garden. Gary is a frequent contributor to Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts magazine.
From the Back Cover
Craft a Collection of Beautiful Boxes with Only One Tool
The wooden box is a classic and popular woodworking project; it's fun to make and useful to have. However, crafting a box can often involve several different tools. In this book, designer and box maker Gary MacKay will introduce you to his simple techniques for making a variety of elegant and functional boxes—30 in all—using only one tool: the scroll saw.
Organized in a progressive-learning format, Box-Making Projects for the Scroll Saw begins with the most basic box and works through to more complicated techniques. You'll learn to make a standard box, add drawers, create a checkerboard design, and, finally, to cut box joints, employing techniques that are usually reserved for more complicated woodworking machinery.
Projects are organized in an easy-to-follow format, accompanied by color photographs and easy-to-use patterns. There is also a chapter on wood, tools, adhesives, box lining, and more.
Your final piece will be the perfect jewelry box, complete with ring tray compartments, dividers, and earring holders—a splendid gift for a loved one. They'll never suspect such a beautiful box could be so easy to make.
