well i guess im the last one that hasn't made one yet ? and probably never will ! nice work on yours rick. now what is the double top for ? why not just one  ?all the ones ive seen are done this way.

working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.

Yup, nice little box. I won't be making one either, Pottz.

Pottz.... the double top is how Roy Underhill makes his. The second one down slides to cover the grease or in my case the wood butter. The top one pivots to lock the second from prematurely moving exposing the content and prevents it from drying out. As far as I know this is the only way they are made. It's a neat mechanism the way it locks. I can see why others are making it for keepsakes.
Very nice Rick!  Welcome to the GBOC ;-)

Pottz, the double lid makes it lock closed (also makes it a bit of a puzzle for the uninitiated).  
ill just enjoy the ones you guys make !

Very nice Rick!  Welcome to the GBOC ;-)
Thanks Ken. I'm honored. Guess what? My wife wants one. I was also thinking this would make a neat chisel box. Lots of ideas for this box. 
Very nice work, especially the Butterfly Dovetail, which fits nicely in the box & lid without any gaps.
PS: I tried the link to the Woodwrigh's Shop  few times, kept getting a black screen with message: This video is property of PBS, and they have blocked it in your country. Don't know which country they think I'm in, but it's the good old Red White & Blue USA.
Anyway, nice work on the box.
Thanks Oldtool!  That's weird. I just tried the link again and it worked for me. Here's another link. Try this one

Made one several years ago, holds wax for screw lube.   
Never got my official GBOC membership card, however.

Nice work on yours MrRick!

I keep my grease in a leaky can in the "automotive stuff" cabinet, but hats off to you for a nice project and very detailed post! 🎩
link worked fine rick !

Rick, the second link worked fine, thanks. I checked both links again, they have totally different web addresses. Might be where you copied the link - your browser or YouTube. I'm guessing here on this, all this newfangled techie stuff is a foreign language to me. I like the technology of the 60s and 70s, turn a knob or push a button. 🤣

👍 me too OT !

Neat project!  
So, are these for storing paste finish or...?
Is is weird to say that I am developing grease box envy?  

--Nathan, TX. Hire the lazy man. He may not do as much work but that's because he will find a better way.
