Corner #4...was a bear to put together.   took three tries to get one layout right...:ArguingSmileys:

 

First 2 tries..pins weren't in the right direction...finally got this sawn..

Then chopped out....then traced around the lay out these..

I use a bandsaw for these cuts, as I can SEE where I am cutting, and able to follow a line better..

 

Dry fits...were giving me "fits" :ArguingSmileys:  seems two grooves weren't quite lined up...more chisel and plane work:BangingHead:

Finally, was ready for the big fight....and...

let the glue flow!  Why is it, that glue always dries fast on fingers, but not in wood?:WonderScratch:

Yep, floor board was also glued into place ( no squeaks?):TwoThumbsUp:

 

Let this sit a day, or two ( Honey-do List, on a Friday?:BugEyeSmiley:)   Then clean this mess up, and work on the base and lid...then see about building a drawer?

Stay tuned..:cowboy:

Ok...clamps were removed, for a while, at least...Spent part of today's shop time...cleaning the box up...squaring corners..:Cheer:

While keeping the sides straight...

Getting close...:Tapping:

Enough that I could center the box up on the base...:TwoThumbsUp:

base needed to match the Prototype, though..:ChinScratch:

And..no..you can't do that with a router bit...Paul Sellers did use one of these "Molding" planes..:JawDrop:

Yep...After I had traced around the centered box...over to the bench vise we go..:SaluteandRun:

Work on the end grain first...rounding down from a center line, to the traced out line....sand paper to smooth this out...rotate..:Cheer:

13437931_Thurs.work1stedgedone.JPG.0cf640328f3288dbdc704c87b1c00d08.JPG

And repeat...then do the other end grain.   Because when you then do the long grain sides...:ChinScratch:

You wind up with a "crisp corner" as Sellers calls it.   :TwoThumbsUp:A bit of sanding to smooth out things...set the box back on the base...make sure it is still centered..make a  mark at each corner...because, just like Sellers did...:ChinScratch:

Glue, brush, and a few good clamps, keeping an eye out on the marks...the lip in the front is the same as the lip around in back..:OldManSmiley:

Letting this sit a day....will need the clamps taken off before the next task can be done...the lid.   Then we'll see about building a drawer?

Busy day?:DevilLaughing:
