These damn laser-cut pencil boxes are going to be the end of me. I must’ve spent another six or eight hours working on the design again today. I was hoping to work on another tea light lantern; something for Mother’s Day. These stupid pencil boxes just aren’t coming together the way I want them to.

Capstone Magnifying Glass and Letter Opener Set with Bocote Wood
In today’s video, I turn the handles for a Capstone magnifying glass and letter opener set. This was a quick, fun project that turned out quite nice.
