Popular Post Gerald Posted February 6, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 This box was made back in the middle of last year as a keepsake for a Sunday school teacher . She is doing a scrapbook for a grandson’s graduation. Well the book got too big so now I am adding 2 inches to the box. Doing this in white oak and I think the trim on top was red oak. The box has finger joints but the addition will have rabbited joints. This is the first build. This is the addon. Now considered do I want to just glue this on or put two screws vertically on each side.

Gerald Posted February 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) Thanks for the suggestions. Dowels - even on this sides did not come out as perfect match and I know I could never get the holes right. Pocket screws would show and no way to hide. Biscuits I never thought of but don’t have a joiner anymore and they are only for alignment. I did screws and plugged the holes with grain matched plugs. Never even thought I could have used cherry or walnut for contrast. The edges were already relieved so did that on the lower side of the add on too to highlight differences. Hey Mike no hinges the lid is a lift off. Edited February 8, 2020 by Gerald Gunny, Cal, FlGatorwood and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
