Paul Sellers Plans..

Down loadable from his Masterclass videos..

All 4 sides are curved,,
[attachment=49821]
And the dovetails are cut to match..

Panels for the top and bottom are made to appear like they are floating ( but they do sit into grooves)

Back saw to saw the lid free of the box..

Do the ends first, THEN the sides,,,add a shim to the first side cut...otherwise, things will get "pinched"

A gouge to carve a finger lift...
And just follow the plans..

How did you put dovetails on them?

Since there are no corners there are no dovetails. If you have a bandsaw, they are fun to make, and my girls loved them. Just Google: bandsaw boxes.
