Time to clear off the bench, and start on Box #2 out of the 3 boxes from Leftovers...

Start up.  need to get things sized...including the thin panel for the bottom..

Even had a choice of two lids...

There was a problem, though...

Neither were wide enough....Cut the ends to match the width of the lid..will trim the lid to match the box's  length when the box is done...

Bottom panel was too thin to run on the tablesaw...so

We have ways....

 

Ok... lay out time!

Tried out the NEW Cutting gauge, too...

Meh..work in progress on sharpening the cutter...

Yes, I do Pins first..."X" marks the waste areas...time for a "different saw"

Geo. H. Bishop Co. No. 10 to be exact...Bar is the depth stop, btw...

Chopping block is set up..chopping half way down ( about a 1/4") on the outside face, first..

Then flip over, and complete the chopping out ( couple chips flew straight back and nailed me on the nose....)

Use these Pins to trace out the tails..

Bandsaw to cut on the waste side of those lines...trying to leave the lines..then chop out as before..then a dry fit...

Little chunks in the corners needed pared out...

 

Back was starting to hurt, Clothes Dryer was done...so..

I think I'll call it a day...almost got something done?

Stay tuned..

You know, one of these days you're gonna have to build a BIG box to hold all of those little boxes

Russian Nesting Boxes?

Multiple geese are known as a gaggle.

Would multiple boxes be known as a baggle?

I think you already had it right.  More than one box and you've got boxes.  However with dovetail corners there may be a closer relationship to groups of doves.  A covey of boxes perhaps?

Laundry Detail is done..after Supper, I'll get to processing the photos...since I got the other 3 corners done, today....Might even try for a glue up later?

 

Stay tuned...

Chicken and noodles for Supper...

Dry fit all 4 corners....and test out a few clamps...

 

Pins were done first..

Then traced onto the tail board...and then the bandsaw went to work..

Lot of chisel work, today?

3 corners done in one day...while on Laundry Detail 

 

Glue-up happened, today..

End view,,

After this is back out of the clamps and cleaned up...next item?

Will be to glue on a bottom panel...

Was a Busy day...

This morning, clamps have been removed...

We have work to do..

Pay $80 for a plane, I expect it to be put to work...

Kept checking for square..

Then leveled the top and bottom edges..

Best way to check this?

Flat surface...looking for any high spots...Next?

Panel for the bottom of the box, needs to be glued onto the box...

I think there is enough clamps to go around?

To close up any gaps..now I get to sit and wait on the glue to dry

 

Stay tuned..

Impressive clamp application there!  If I didn't know any better I'd think you were using more clamps than needed just to keep your clamps happy and feeling wanted.

Let no gap go un-clamped!

Box is out of the clamps, needing cleaned up along the edges...

Ends weren't too bad..the sides?

Needed a tad of the top...

Both edges...were done...Lid panel was a bit too wide..so..

We have ways....bottom still had sawmill marks on it...

HAD....lid blank was also a bit too long..

Took care of that this morning...I also ripped a couple strips of scrap..and started mitering the ends...

How else..but on a Mitrebox.....then some dry fits...

Before the 1st clamps could go on..

Then work me way around ..

Need more spring clamps!   Finally, got the last side fitted..

The 2 Harbor Freight clamps are to pull the side in flush with the edge of the lid...

 

Let this sit a spell...stay tuned...

Waiting on Supper to settle through (Chorrizo Burrito the size of me forearm....then meander to the shop.  And, see how this mess turned out...

 

Stay tuned...

Curious if woodworking too soon after a meal is as dangerous as swimming too soon after a meal?   These were the mysteries of "why?" I had when growing up (which I'm still apparently doing).

@4DThinker,  we gotta grow older. We don't gotta grow up.

The "up" I was referring to was my weight. 

It is a long trip up the stairs to get TO the Bathroom....

 

try to get the lid to match up with the lid...or is it the other way around

And trying to figure out this latch....

And...Hobby Lobby is closed on Sunday

 

29 cloudy degrees outside, and a 1/2" or so of that white crap on the ground....dang Liar Birds

Next...installing the lid..

Tools?

And then that fancy latch..

Then start on some bevels..

Corner detail ..

Then the ends..

Then sand things to 220 grit..

Almost done, a look at the end..

And around in back...

2 out of 3?

 

Box #3?

About ready to start up..and this is about all the resawn leftovers I have left...

 

Stay tuned..

Cool! Really like that round latch.

Really great detail work Steven
