Welcome! / Forums / Project Series / Dovetail Boxes / 2nd Box Complete
Your dovetail boxes look outstanding. When I first read that you glued-up before cutting the grooves, I could see me doing that mistake. It was nice to see how you made it your own design.
Thank you Steve, Colin, Eric and John. It turns out the “flip up lid” by mistake is a beneficial design as it leaves one less thing lying on the bench top. On the other hand, if dropped when closed, it is not as secure as the sliding lid.
Also, thanks for the references and information about making boxes from mixed lumber species.
You have made some nice new homes there for a nice collection of tools, the fix with the tip up lid has worked great nobody will know it was not intended. (Well ok not many!! )
NICE JOB ON THE BOXES! I’m jealous. Just starting on mine. I like the fact that it is a skills development task with a utilitarian output!
