RE: Not another box... - bandit571 - 11-03-2017
Ah...the joys of being retired
.....a new bench? Not right now.....having to much fun with this one. Even built a storage area underneath, to stash a few items...Ok, Got the glue spread on the dovetails....and a few clamps applied...
[attachment=5498]
Will let this sit a day or so.....then maybe make a few bead cuts all the way around. Top bead to conceal where the sliding top will come out...need to make a few saw cuts...
[attachment=5499]
Will need to clean the corners up first, get them all looking spiffy....the panel for the sliding top will be from "leftovers"
[attachment=5500]
More rebate work to do...
Maybe saturday, I can get a little more done..
As for the under-bench storage....
[attachment=5501]
Battery tools have been moved. Hand planes are now on that shelf. Drawers are for the "beater" chisels I am now using anymore...
Stay tuned,,, might get this done before Monday.....hate working on Mondays
RE: Not another box... - bandit571 - 11-04-2017
Ok...Got a little more done today...
[attachment=5527]
Dovetails were planed flush, and even the top and bottom edges...laid out a line
[attachment=5528]
And milled a couple beads with this old plane..
[attachment=5529]
Two beads went all around the outside...
[attachment=5530]
Then a little work with a saw..
[attachment=5531]
So a lid could be made....stay tuned for more pictures
RE: Not another box... - bandit571 - 11-04-2017
Welcome to my little world..
[attachment=5532]
Where all kind of planes are used...
[attachment=5533]
Sometimes a saw gets used
[attachment=5534]
I could then size a panel to fit, including a rebate all the way around...once it fit well enough to slide easy...a handle was glued on
[attachment=5535]
When you slide the lid shut....
[attachment=5536]
It will be hard to tell how to open the box.
Might be about ready for a finish of some sort? Lot of sanding to do.
Stay tuned...
RE: Not another box... - bandit571 - 11-05-2017
Glued up lid has been fitted...
[attachment=5549]
A bit hard to see? Look for a saw cut
[attachment=5550]
How about a side view?
[attachment=5551]
It is rather a bit on the "Plain" side.....
[attachment=5552]
Leave something sit too long.....
May get a bit of thin Walnut made into trim, to dress it up?
RE: Not another box... - bandit571 - 11-08-2017
OK, the first coat of The Infamous Witch's Brew, is now applied to the box..
[attachment=5622]
It may get a second coat, before a gloss top coat..
[attachment=5623]
At least the dovetails show up a little better
As for all that "Clean Living" myths....
[attachment=5624]
This was taken about this time of year.....in 1954.....Dad and his pipe, me still trying to get that walking thing done pat.....
RE: Not another box... - bandit571 - 11-10-2017
Basically, I scrapped off the worse of the mess....wiped it down....and added a coat or two of Amber Shellac...
[attachment=5661]
The BLO in the Brew was taking way too long to "dry" out..
...did away with it. Had to unstick the lid, too 
[attachment=5662]
A piece of glass served as a scrapper to remove the gunked up areas.
[attachment=5663]
Just a box made from leftovers.....may stick it into a cubby on the computer desk, to hide the bills....
Thanks for looking in
RE: Not another box... - bandit571 - 11-11-2017
Ok, basically out of lumber, for now. I do have a 1/2" x 8" x 48" slab of Poplar left....might see what I can cobble up out of it.
Need to rub out the finish on this box a bit, before it is shown to "Polite Company"....
RE: Not another box... - hbmcc - 11-14-2017
