Meristem Box Manufacture

The net that I used to create all of my bowl
was as basic as a sketch, as all the measurements
were interrelated and depending
on each other, as it usually is with hand
made things. Having this flexibility allowed
me to efficiently create all five of my boxes
in one sitting.


Although all of the measurements were correct,


slight differences in folding and cutting
meant I had to tailer certain parts to certain
boxes, which is inevitable in hand made
things.

Here you can see me cutting out the reveal,
perhaps the most important part of these
boxes. As with sanding, cutting and folding
is one thing that just takes time and effort
and you have to put the hours in.
