Did you pick up a new tool you need to share that needs a box? Should be interesting.

Resaws were done on the tablesaw...stuff that wasn't usable, was tossed. Trying to keep the better looking stuff...like these...
[attachment=53053]
Goal was to find enough pieces that I could match up..
[attachment=53054]
Some better than others..
[attachment=53055]
And try for 4 panels glued up....
[attachment=53056]
#4 was sitting over on the bench...Panels are 1/2" thick Ash.
Let these sit a day or 2...Middle one of those 3 was to be the "Lid"....Turned out, that I needed a 3 strip glued to it..
[attachment=53057]
Still have not removed THOSE clamps, yet...will wait until I start Lid Work...
To help things out, panels were rip to 6" wide...as that is all the wider the vise will open..
[attachment=53058]
This is Panel #4, the "Back" of the case....needed planed flat and smooth..
[attachment=53059]
A #3 seemed to work just fine....other planes in use?
[attachment=53060]
A #4-1/2 and a #6c.mainly to joint an edge or 2 before a glue up...
There was one board that wasn't a glue-up, though..
[attachment=53061]
Just needed smoothed down a bit.....Case has 2 drawers, and an upper compartment.....and this is the front of that compartment...
[attachment=53062]
Stay tuned...corner joints will be through dovetails..LOTS of Through Dovetails...
Show me a picture, I'll build a project from that

Through Dovetails for the corners...
[attachment=53063]
Lay out tools...and..
[attachment=53064]
Lay out lines...
[attachment=53065]
Saw the lines...doing pins first, of course...
[attachment=53066]
Start with the face that will show, chop half way down....leave a little "porch" for support...flip panel over..
[attachment=53067]
Chop out the waste...use these pins to mark out the tails...Bandsaw to cut strictly on the waste side of the lines, leaving the line, in fact...remove the waste, and try a dry fit..
[attachment=53068]
When I NEED a hammer to drive thing "home", I think that will be tight enough...repeat for the second full height (6") corner...
[attachment=53069]
Yes, these sides are a whopping 6" tall...however...across the front?
[attachment=53070]
This sits above 2 drawers..
[attachment=53071]
And will be the front of the Compartment...
Clamps, glue and cauls..
[attachment=53072]
Let this sit a day..or 2...
Stay tuned..Have slips and a base to do next.....then work on 2 drawers
Show me a picture, I'll build a project from that
