I’m Michael Tyler and for more than 8 years I have been creating Vectric’s Free monthly projects. I’ve made everything from spring wreaths and mantle clocks, to snow sledges and cheeseboards.
Did you know there are already more than 80 projects free for Vectric customers to take advantage of and we’re working on more every month? Each zipped project includes the files relating to the project as well as a comprehensive PDF guide that covers all the key steps help you complete your project - including tips on materials, tooling and finishes. Since 2018 free projects also come with their own video that tells the story of the project from start to finish.
The Japanese Garden Box was inspired by the traditional rock garden (called karesansui in Japanese) using sand or gravel as a base with carefully placed islands of rock. The sand is raked in patterns up to and around these rock "islands"to represent water ripples. The lid of the box imitates this cultural garden style.
The sample box is made from a single wood type. The end panels, lid and bamboo front and back panel finish was applied before assembly.
The finished dimensions of this project are approximately
12.75" W x 9.5 " D x 5.5 " H
If you go ahead and create this project, then it would be great to see a photo of your finished piece over on the Vectric Forum. Alternatively feel free to email us a picture of your finished piece at online@vectric.com.
Suitable for version 4 or greater
