Welcome! / Forums / Project Series / Dovetail Boxes / Just finished my first box
There are of course many “issues” with the box, but considering I’ve never cut a dovetail before, I’m happy with it. I’ve started on a 2nd one. After that, I will try the one with the sliding lid. I figure if I make about 1000 of these I might be OK at it 🙂
In the background you can see the Paul Sellers shooting board and of course it’s on the Paul Sellers workbench.
You should be happy it looks good, first try better than others. Be proud of it.

I guess I don’t need to start a new topic for each project finished, so I will add this here. I just finished my 2nd box made from Poplar, finished with amber shellac, and toped with a coat of wax. There are some issues with the glue and the finish, but I will start a new topic for that (I picked the best view to hide the issues for it’s “beauty shot”) 🙂
I like the color of that second box. You inspired me to try out that combination. Good job!
