Wow! it's been a loooong time since I posted a project! Well, as they say, the days are long, but the years are short.
Here is a little box I made for the Mrs's cousin.
The fun part was the jigs I had to make. First was the spline jig, which I ripped-off from some unknown WW' (thx unknown WW')
I also made a little jig to hold the feet while gluing to keep the corner from slipping on wet glue.
This is how I set up the router to cut the hinge mortises.
The most snarky part is the feet, and I usually make them first. Heck, they could be their own post
Once made though, they give me the motivation to continue.
I know all of my mistakes on this box very well, but it wont surprise me if you guys find more
. I do woodworking because I love it, not because I am good at it 
.
All in all I give myself **+ out of ****. I will admit I need to fine tune my RAS, as it is a tad off, and it shows in the corners.
