A Box Project for February.. - bandit571 - 02-21-2024
Remember these bits and pieces?
[attachment=49944]
Well, they all got resawn down a bit, from 3/4" thick, to..
[attachment=49945]
Down to 1/2" or so thick...
[attachment=49946]
Which left a stack of thin stuff ( dividers, trays?) for later..
Selected one of the 2 "groups" for a larger box Project...
[attachment=49947]
Had a glued up panel of Ash for a lid..and started to mark up the sides, with the New & Improved Marking Gauge..
[attachment=49948]
Needed a pencil to darken the lines, so both the camera and I can see them..then lay out for "Pins"..
[attachment=49949]
As these corners will be through Dovetails..in Pine.
A bit of saw work..
[attachment=49950]
Then chop out the waste..with a chisel...use the pins to mark out the tails, saw and chop those...then the first Dry fit..
[attachment=49951]
Right off the saw...
Note, BEFORE anything was done, I had to flatten all 4 sides...
[attachment=49952]
Figured that this Stanley No. 3, Type 11 will do a good enough job.
Stay tuned...

Update:
Through dovetailed corners..done?
[attachment=49966]
Side view..
[attachment=49967]
BEFORE these could be glued together,,,needed a rest/holder made..
[attachment=49968]
THEN I could glue things up..
[attachment=49969]
Once this came out of the clamps, was cleaned up, leveled top and bottom and at least squared up in all directions..then a bottom was glued on..
[attachment=49970]
When the clamps came back off, I tried to level the bottom...
[attachment=49971]
Found a couple high spots to level out...laid this onto the panel for the lid...marked around to see how much to trim off..
[attachment=49972]
Not too much..we have ways..
[attachment=49973]
A Stanley No. 5-1/2c, Type 11 , or..a Stanley No 3, Type 11....No. 3 had too short of a Front Porch...unlike old Jumbo..
Panel is a bit too thin..so
[attachment=49974]
Will glue these to the underside..once the ends are mitered..
[attachment=49975]
Stay tuned...more to come..
RE: A Box Project for February.. - bandit571 - 02-23-2024
Let this sit a spell..
[attachment=49976]
Made sure the two Stanley No. 77s will fit..
[attachment=49977]
Cleaned up the lid..
[attachment=49978]
And trimmed as needed for a decent match to the box...then the hardware could be installed
[attachment=49979]
Hinges and corners...top ones needed trimmed back a bit, to allow the lid to open and close
[attachment=49980]
Latch was installed to keep the lid closed..
[attachment=49981]
Lid works...and a look at the top...
[attachment=49982]
All that is left, is a finish and a branding iron..and a hand drawn label..
Stay tuned
RE: A Box Project for February.. - bandit571 - 02-24-2024
Stained, labeled, branded, and varnished...Photos?
[attachment=49991]
and..
[attachment=49992]
And..
[attachment=49993]
Shop has it's own Branding Iron, BTW...
[attachment=49994]
Except, I had to hand draw the label...
[attachment=49995]
With a single coat of Warm Gloss Poly..
Box #2?
[attachment=49996]
Has been started, for now....
RE: A Box Project for February.. - bandit571 - 02-25-2024
Might try a glue up later today..
[attachment=50016]
Since Feb Box #2 has all 4 corners dovetailed..
Tool Kit?
[attachment=50017]
Need to go out and find a bracket/holder..
[attachment=50018]
To attach this to my Samsung Smart Phone, to take better pictures with....old phone is DOA...
Stay tuned..
RE: A Box Project for February.. - bandit571 - 02-25-2024
Box is now sitting in the clamps..
[attachment=50021]
let it sit overnight...need to start putting the toys away..
[attachment=50022]
I also sharpened a few chisels..been awhile for these...
[attachment=50023]
As for a pair of $3 chisels...
[attachment=50024]
They have had all the rust removed...sharpened up, and are now "Beater Chisels" 5/8" and 3/4" widths.
One other item in that $3 a piece deal..
[attachment=50025]
Taintor's Positive No. 7 Saw Set.
[attachment=50026]
Has been cleaned up nicely...1/8" thick wrap of black tape removed, too..
[attachment=50027]
There are 5 patent dates on that handle..
[attachment=50028]
$12 + Sales Tax...Screwdriver merely ratchets,,,has 5 bits...and no markings...it went to the Household Tool Drawer...might come in handy?
RE: A Box Project for February.. - bandit571 - 02-26-2024
Box #2 is out of the clamps, trued up, cleaned up...leveled....and now.
[attachment=50032]
A 1/4" plywood panel is getting glued to the bottom of the box....had to stop and make sure it WAS the bottom of the box...
6 clamps + 3 cauls...let sit until later.
Parts for the lid..
[attachment=50033]
Need to get the Mitre box back out..
[attachment=50034]
Miter the ends and cut to size...then glue them in place...
Stay tuned..
RE: A Box Project for February.. - bandit571 - 02-27-2024
After the last time with this backsaw...decided to try some else..
[attachment=50046]
And see how it works ..
[attachment=50047]
Much better, needed a slight depth adjustment, is all.
When the clamps came off today..
[attachment=50048]
Bottom panel needed trimmed flush to the sides...and the panel for the lid..
[attachment=50049]
Needed trimmed to be flush with the sides, of the box..
[attachment=50050]
Was a busy day, today...lots of errands to run...will try again tomorrow adding the strips to the lid, with mitered corners...
Stay tuned..
RE: A Box Project for February.. - bandit571 - 02-29-2024
Shop will be closed for a few days...until The Boss gets home from OSU Wexxner Hospital...
Went to the ER last night by EMS Squad...the transferred to OSU....
Will up-date as I can...
