Popular Post steven newman Posted October 30, 2020 Author Popular Post Report Posted October 30, 2020 Ok, this box was nothing more than a Dovetail Class project....so I could learn another way of making corner joints... Look closely at those corners....as I sawed through a couple tails.... Stands less the 4" tall by 7" across the front, by 6" on the sides.... Double bead wasn't the best..bandsaw made a wavy cut...next time, it will get handsawn. had a bad spot at one corner..,..just some scrap pine.... Was more about learning a new (to me) dovetail joint.....might go out and get some decent looking lumber next time....and try these again... Thanks for following along.. p_toad, kmealy, Gunny and 4 others 7 Quote
Popular Post Gunny Posted October 30, 2020 Popular Post Report Posted October 30, 2020 Was good practice. Lessons learned and shared. Now I figured out a use for this box. Put 20 pieces of paper inside folded over. On each write bad idea. Now gift it to someone and tell them it's a box full of bad ideas. I might make a couple and give out myself. My Dad will enjoy that one. Cal, lew, Artie and 3 others 4 2 Quote

Really??? Learning a new technique was the plan. It will find a use somewhere. @steven newman has lots of tools and parts. I made a little box when my micro-driver set fell on the floor and broke the lid off. It allowed me to add a few more bits and looks nice. p_toad, lew, Thad and 3 others 5 1 Quote
