An unusual request so i'm not sure if i will get much help here, but got to give it a go...
I'm looking to make from scratch, a presentation box, with very little practice at the subject.
Basically its the old man's birthday in a few months, and as he is a carpenter at heart I think it would be a real heart warmer for be to be able to not just buy him something but to make the box it came in aswell. (a grown-up macaroni picture if you will.)
He has been such a pain to buy for, so this will hopefully be something else entirely.
...
I really need suggestions on wood to use, tips on how to make it look as professional as possible, and some ideas what to use for the packing material (foam?) that will hold the gift inside still.
To make matters easier I unfortunately do not have many tools or a lot of space to do it in.
Anybody fancy a crack at this?
cheers,
~ben
