Greg, I really appreciate your drawings. I think you need to make a video on how you make your drawings…..
Greg, wonderful drawings and very generous to share them. Much appreciated.
Mick
Excellent sketches Greg. I’m envious of your talent! Thanks for sharing.
Greg, Unless I am reading your sketch wrong I think there is an error on the third drawing of the pencil box with the lid. Take a look and tell me.. The sketch in the lower left corner is showing both ends of the sides?
Sandy you are correct! I will fix it and repost as soon as I can. Thanks for catching the error.
Greg,
I wish I had but my pencil box caught it… 🙂 I made one today using just hand tools. It was great! If I had to make a bunch of them I’d probably go back to the table saw but getting it square was fun… I looked up and it was dark outside… My wife had hobbled out and fed the horses. (she has a broken ankle). But when I handed her the box she hugged my neck! I’m liking this stuff more every day.
The hardest thing to get the hang of is not breaking the ends of when planning end grain.
It has been brought to my attention that the drawing I posted for the dovetail box with sliding lid contained an error. I have corrected the error and I am posting it here.
Please destroy any copy that you have of the original and replace it with this revised drawing.
Also, please accept my apologies for any trouble the error may have caused you. I do my best to vet these drawings before I post them but I make mistakes. I really am sorry for the error.
Greg
