steven newman Posted November 11, 2015 Report Posted November 11, 2015 Well, after a LOT of cussing and fighting today, and tearing up two sanding belts....I think it is about done. Back is feeling well enough to let me do a bit of light duty work, so.. Took the case out of the clamps. Gave the bottom edges a jointed edge. Stomped the Oak bottom into place and nailed it off. Nails would hit that oak and go squirrley on me. Corrected a couple nails. Then planed and sanded until the bottom was all nice and flush couple points of nails stuck up a bit, tore the sanding belts. Flipprd this over, and worked down the top edges. The No.7c was a bit slow, and I wasn't really in the mood for slowpokes....got out the cambered No.5...much faster. then a few swipes with a no.4. Installed the handle, using a couple nails on each end..still needs sanding and the like, but... Still have around the dovetail joints to plane flush and sand. maybe a finish of some sort after that??? John Moody 1 Quote
Fred W. Hargis Jr Posted November 11, 2015 Report Posted November 11, 2015 I love it! No finish, it looks great as is. steven newman 1 Quote

steven newman Posted November 11, 2015 Author Report Posted November 11, 2015 Still need to plane and sand the outside of the tote. Dovetails need trimmed abit.. Tried a full length saw this morning, it do fit. I can lean it a bit against the handle, and it will sit there. Maybe later, I can get some measurements? Then, someone else could draw up a plan of some sort....plan???? I don't think I know what this "Plan" talk is.... Quote
