Just another Box Project?

[bandit571]

Hey, gotta use up the leftovers, some how.....Maybe resaw a stack down to 1/2" thick...glue a few into panels?  


IF anyone wants to follow along.....will start this after all the errands for today have been run....

Stay tuned...

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...

   
Goal was to find enough pieces that I could match up..

   
Some better than others..

   
And try for 4 panels glued up....

   
#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..

   
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..

   
This is Panel #4, the "Back" of the case....needed planed flat and smooth..

   
A #3 seemed to work just fine....other planes in use?

   
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..

   
Just needed smoothed down a bit.....Case has 2 drawers, and an upper compartment.....and this is the front of that compartment...

   
Stay tuned...corner joints will be through dovetails..LOTS of Through Dovetails...
