Well... that didn't take very long...about as long as this right leg will allow...seeings how it also did a lap around inside of Walmart, shopping with the Boss.
Clamps removed, and put away..
All 4 sides have been cleaned up, proud pins leveled down...all 4 sides are now square on the outside. Top and bottom edges have been planed level..
Panel for the bottom of the box has been cut to size...and glued in place...
Film at 2300 hrs....after I go back to the shop for some picture takings....
Lid came out of the clamps...needing squared up, corner joints cleaned up, and the top sanded smooth...
As it had some showy grain details...
There was an issue with the fit between the box and the lid...and not all was the box's fault..
We have ways..
A "Gap Removal Tool" aka Millers Falls No. 8, Type 2(#3 size) to level both, until no gaps showed
Might as well get the hinges installed..
Eggbeater drill has the pilot hole drill bit. Then, flip the box over, and install a latch..
That hopefully works..
Ok...Can of Amber Shellac...and a brush....brush? Oh, those are STILL upstairs..grrrrr..anyway...brush a coat around on the insides, and then the outsides...
Front..
End..
Letting this sit a spell, then a rub down, before Coat #2...
All laid out in order...brush to apply the glue...then a bunch of clamps..checking for square as I went along..
Nice view! Was also able to cut a panel for the glued on bottom..
Let the box sit in the clamps a day, then level the bottom edges and then glue and clamp the bottom panel in place..
Had an issue with the saw...
In that it wasn't cutting deep enough....bar had slid down a bit on the toe....hammer to adjust it back in place, re-tighten the handle..back to work
Geo. H. Bishop No. 10 saw....according to both etches.
Stay tuned, need to figure out a lid for this box, sometime..
