Trivets and puzzle boxes

I made these trivets also and they could go into the mistake part but since they are trivets and are covered, i moved them here. They are mistake riddled though. I did not have a block guage to  get the spacing right. The glue is slippery and would moves under clamps sometimes if you are not careful or get in a rush, which I did. Oh well, Fun to make anyway and something will sit on them

The boxes below are neat and fun. I saw them somewhere on the internet and thought I could make those and had some 1x material to practice with that I had planed down. I actually made a set of three. 

Very simple to build.

And it looks like a cube. Make one and have fun with it. I have since stained them brown. I will put a polyurethane on them later, maybe.
