Another day – another few hours in the workshop…
I managed to get the timber for the lid milled up
The lid is going to be frame and panel; I had great fun today chopping the mortises and cutting the tenons.
By the end of the day, the frame has been built. I’m really chuffed with the joinery – it’s almost a shame that you’ll never see them.
The timber for the panel has been selected and I’ll be working on that next.

Well, the overall build is finished.
I spent a happy time down the workshop this afternoon, finishing off the lid and adding the hinges.There’s still a stay to add but otherwise it’s time to apply a few coats of finish.
I’ve decided to use a water based varnish to protect this piece.I’m pretty pleased with the way this chest has turned out so far.
