jcat, yes I know it was only the first 10 minutes but I got so absorbed that I followed it all through. As ever with these things there is always something useful deep in the video, almost a throw away comment that makes you think “Hey, I can use that”.
I have just done a dry run with the elastic bands. One was enough to hold the box in shape. Add another 3 or 4 and it is rock solid.
I am now confident I can check the dimensions of everything, make sure the base fits without pulling anything out of shape, then I shall size the joint edges as recommended before final glue up.18 November 2016 at 3:02 am #142486I had tried masking tape but tried fixing it once the box was shaped. Laying it out flat on the tape and then assembling looks a much better prospect, but see below.
Following the link provided by jcat I have just spent 3 hours watching videos of Steve Hay (and Bob) which I found most instructive. Don’t think I shall get into the inlay work just yet but some interesting clues on finishing the boxes.
Many thanks to those who have offered advice.- This reply was modified 7 years, 5 months ago by Stephen Hillier.
