Ok...this is going to take a while...seems after the last 2 Projects were done...I still had a stash of lumber.. Ripped the worst defects off the edges, or tried to....reset the tablesaw.. Placed the best ( straightest) face against the fence...fence was set at 1/2" width. Takes 2 passes but... Some were not quite as wide as most of the rest....sorted through for the best looking of the bunch.. Planed away the saw marks.. And lay things out a bit... Joint a few edges.. And glue up a few panels... What WAS going to be a "Lid" became the "Front"....another was cut in two equal sections, to make the 2 "ends"...the "New" lid became a 3 piece affair... Then it was a matter of cutting things to size.. But, these needed jointed, again..because.. None matched the other 3....Finally.. I think I was ready to start the joinery...I also had both the Lid, and a Base cut and milled to roughly the size I needed... So..Project Started...Next episode? Finger/Box Joints! Stay tuned...

That stash of leftovers...that was resaw down to 1/2" thickness (more or less ~) Went through the mess, picked out a few pieces, and made a few panel glue-ups.. While trying to match up the grain a bit better.. These will be the end panels...so.. 2 ends, and the lid...I also glued up another panel for the "back" of the box..edges needed a bit of jointing, before the glue and clamps..so.. Stanley No. 4-1/2c and Stanley No. 6c were put to work... Let the panels sit overnight.. Stay tuned...
