November 2, 2025Nov 2 Popular Post It amazes me how shellac can transform a box into a beautiful gem. A simple pine box. All done with hand tools. I used a LV backsaw, chisels, moulding planes that I have made, and a smoothing plane. The hinge is a flush invisible hinge. Corners are dovetails. Before My beautiful elixir (shellac) I buy shellac flakes from Lee Valley and mix up my own. Usually a 2lb cut. After (the complete finished shellacked beauty!!) Thanks for looking!! Cheers!
