Here goes!

Didn’t have much time at all in the workshop but ten minutes is better than none. Marked out more dovetails and did one single saw cut before I had to leave.

Only did a tiny bit more today.

Thanks Matt, I do try to keep projects moving even if the pace is slow. I’m naturally one of those people that starts something and takes two years to finish it. I combat that trait by going little and often.

So it’s Saturday and I planned a full morning in the shop but I am now left feeling disappointed in myself. I sent a message to Leanne who also posted a tool chest here to ask for some tips and she just said I ought to watch my grain orientation. Good thing she did too… I checked the two panels for the lid only to realise they are the right size but my sawmill did not orient the grain the way I want it to go… my fault for not specifying… long story short, I finished the dovetails on the main box and I’m just setting up to cut them all off. This will make my box about an inch and a half smaller all ’round… it’s still plenty big enough and I want it to be perfect so… I guess I’m starting all over again! My own fault for not double checking!

Indeed @forbeskm

Unless I am making something to exact dimensions pretty much all of projects / commissions are subject to change. Although it’s not normally because I made a mistake!

Did a whole day today in the shop and almost finished the main part of the box… just the drawer rail to go, will do that tomorrow.

Lid and bottom dry run, will glue up tomorrow

Thanks @mattmcgrane and @delong1974

Almost there…..
