With really poor spatial visualisation I usually have difficulties envisioning an item from the cut lists or introductory videos. As for the dovetail box things were helped by the Robert Sorby chisels (the ones with red handles), as I have a set of those, though rosewood handles. To check how the ½” stock looks, I yesterday made a box.
Perhaps around 10 mm (3/8 – 7/16″) would be an alternative, allowing to get two set of boards out of 1″ thick stock (with a 1/8″ resaw kerf). Please see attached photo.
