    Started to prepare some Oak.
    I’m going to make caddy have three bays.
    In doing that I don’t have enough oak for base All ready cut sides and ends to length. I’m annoyed with my self for that. So I’m going to put a groove in bottom for Ply. Will be practise to make groove.

    I have had a practice run for groove in a bit of pine come out really well.

    I have been a bit ambitious for Dovetails on box. I have only done one corner not come out as good as I would have liked 🙁 Made my pins a little fat took ages to pair down to make fit. As you can see in picture pretty thin pins.

    Mark, I nearly always make skinny pins. They look a nice fit buddy.

    I love putting grooves in timber with a plough plane, I could do it all day. 😉

    Thanks Ken,
    Dovetails took long time todo and for some reason Tails a bit longer. I marked with a sharp knife shoulder line.
    I am probably air on the side of caution should try cutting half the line away when doing pins. At least I know I can pair down pins.

    My third set of tails on this box not come out too well bit gappy. 🙁
    The forth set were a little better still not how I would like them.
    Had difficulty with stopped groove was hard to get combination plane to get to depth as plane too long for short end pieces still had problem with back of groove on long pieces. Had a little break out. 🙁 I finished with thumb router. Now I have got to mark up and cut stopped housings/Dados.
    Been frustrated with this project. I had worked a long day Friday. Saturday I was too tired to do much, just tidied shed up a bit. Today still not on top form, but if I don’t try I will never get anything done. Would be nice to do project when feeling a bit more refreshed.

    Think we all get those frustrating days Mark, only today dropped one of my Ashley Iles chisels and in trying to save it hitting the floor I managed to boot it across the garage probably doing more damage than if I had just left it 🙂

    Thanks Serhiy,
    I done a bit more today still not satisfied with what I done my mistake. Lucky only sand paper box.
    Yes I have got to slow down.
    I’m getting frustrated because I do not get enough time.
    Before I know it winter will be upon us and it will be too cold to play in shed. I do not have much room in shed would be hard to put heater out their keep a little warmer.

    Only spent about an hour doing box today got a bit of a cold and not feeling too great. I cut my ply bottom and cut dividers to go in stopped housings. All thats left to do is shaping, clean up, glue up and finish. Sounds easy when you say it quickly.

    What a mission bits breaking off, tear, out gaps, and shakes in timber. Everything that could go wrong did.
    The shaping come from 92 shoulder plane because I liked it.
    Still enjoyed myself.
    All I have got todo is put some finish on. I have some button polish make look a little darker.
    Be kind this was hard. Honest opinions gratefully accepted.

    Nice Mark, thats real woodworking buddy bits will break off just where you don’t want them to.

    For me personally I’m not keen on the shaping at the back, I take it that is the back. If I had any, I would have it at the front so it followed the nice shaping you have done on the sides.

    The dovetails look great to me, overall a nice neat project. Nice work. 😉
