Crayon holder


A crayon holder to hold 24 thick crayons.

Crayon holder
Wood: Babul (karuvelam)
Finish: Asian paints PU exterior Sealant, followed by PU exterior Glossy.
Making it: the bottom of the boat was cut out of a 2x4 reaper of karuvelam wood using a jigsaw. I used a chamfer bit to get the slope of the boat.  A similar process was used for the top of the boat.
The holes are drilled at an incline so that all the crayons point the same way. This was done by tilting the drill press support table.

I made a small plan of this using powerpoint to aid the drilling process.
