Anyone good at making things out of wood?

well...the title says it all i suppose...

i may, and may ONLY have a little one off job for someone who was...

it would be building a foot long box with something special to it...

if not...then off to the yellow pages i go... :)

Actually I have built three pieces of furniture out of wood using plans I drew up myself...

One CD rack, one set of free standing shelves and a desk which I no longer have because I couldnt take it with me when I moved.

How complicated are we talking? Because I reckon I could probably do it...

foot wide box...with a switching doohickey that'll let me move/switch one side with the other...

when i get chance, i'll write out exactly what i want in the "other" section in the magicians bit...

the top would look like two money boxes side by side i suppose if that helps..

abraxus, is this going to be like a simple switch box? Or does it have something extra?
