Remember these? That have since been resawn down a bit.. Faces flattened.. Marking gauge, the "New & Improved" one..to lay out for dovetails... Then a little bit of layout work.. Yep, I do "Pins First" then a wee bit of a saw... Chisels and such to chop out the waste, mark the tails by using these pins to trace around...saw and chop.. First dry fit... So, in 90 minutes of shop time today...rinse and repeat, until.. the other 3 corners are done... So, what will be going into this case? these 2 Stanley No. 77 Mortise gauges....yellow lines? I need to make a holder/rest for them long arms to sit on/in...will add 2 notches. Need to also cut a bottom panel..and work on the lid a bit After that? I might just see how fancy I can get? Stay tuned...

Have some "left over" Pine....not all that much... Figured I could cobble something up? They have a few bad spots to get rid of.. And.. Maybe cut the offending section out with the Mitersaw? Note the reflection on the saw plate? Shows I am cutting almost a perfect 90 degrees...depth stop were a hair too high, though.. Kind of rough right at the end...Didn't take all that long to do.. About 10 full strokes usually was enough...Results? That pine panel will be the bottom of the box...4 sides? Cut to match that panel...beside these parts.. Should be enough for a panel for the lid, and a collar? Things look a bit too thick...at 3/4"? We have ways.. Set up the tablesaw for resaw work... Fence was reset, as it WAS set up to resaw 1/2" thick....like these.. That's a bit better? Along with the lid parts.. 3 pc panel...almost ready to be glued up....there was ONE kickback, today.. Yep... 2 ends, and will cut the rest out of that long strip...Glue up? Already? Vise works as a 3rd hand...kind of skimpy on clamps, today...will cut to final size and for square, tomorrow... Busy day? Tablesaw thought so... Not too much at the Mitre saw...(Cordless ) Corners for the box will be through Dovetails...Bottom panel will sit in a groove, same as the lid's panel... Stay tuned..
