I did actually use a chisel recently.
But i'm not revealing what for in public.
Sandpaper is my weapon of choice, I use it by the carrier bag full. Speaking of which, do NOT buy abranet sanding belts. They just keep stretching and stop moving.
I have sold quite a few of my boxes, I dont keep track as such, but possibly as many as half of them. I dont advertise, Its when we have guests and some are on the sideboard they notice, but I have shown some to people when I am at clubs and suchlike.
I think as many as 20 of them are back in England. The children and grandchildren snaffle a lot. When my grandaughter utters the words "I like that", I now follow immediately with "you cant have it", as she has more than enough, including a turtle box.
This one is a pre order surprise xmas present. They have already bought a treasure chest so repeat customers mean I'm doing something right.
I once took a lot of my stuff top a craft show. I am not boasting by saying that my wares were the most complicated and impressive stall there. I sat for over 2 hours, answered 2 questions (neither of which was "can I have that please" and took everything back home again.
Thats something I will never do again.
This was my stall

I sat next to the busiest stall at the craft show.... hand knitted scarves and things with all proceeds going to a dog charity.
