You might notice that the photos of this box are completely different than the sketches, models and experimentations I originally completed. This is because the actual making of the half circle shape was an unmitigated disaster. Unfortunately, I do not have any photos of the wreckage because I was too busy panicking about the box itself to worry about the Process book. After I destroyed two 6” x6” cubes trying to create a rounded bottom and circular shape, I went back to the drawing board and decided to go with the other design I had for the box. It is a simpler shape - perhaps more fitting to my skill level on the bandsaw - and I used tape to hold the four walls together while they dried (top). 
The only major issues I ran into with this box were with the material I chose. Because I ran out of money ruining the first two cubes I used scrap wood for the final box and during the sanding process  it began to chip off. I solved this with a combination wood glue and rubber cement.
