And even a PIP!Dovetails were planed down flush with the sides…
Once all the corners and edges looked good, I could set up the Stanley 45 as a bead cutter..
As I wanted a pair of beads run all the way around…
Started on the ends first, then the sides, reset the fence a bit, and go around again..
Beads had to be low enough for a sliding lid..saw cuts were made..
Down to the top of the bead. mitre cuts on one end, then a plunge cut the split off a “handle̶...

Ok, had a few scraps of Poplar, just sitting around, getting in the way
Trimmed a few down, to see IF I could make a box out of them…
Laid out some tools, to make a few dovetails..
Just the Usual Suspects….Laid out some pins, since I do pins first..
Went to set up the Shop Stool, so I could sit while I work…
This is where it normally sits at, when I am running a saw..
This time, the welds on the stool decided to gave way…..had to saw the first set sta...

A rainy day today and finally some time to edit video. This is a small pencil box I made for my daughter in law who is going back to school to learn how to help people. My first grand child was born to her 6 months ago and I wanted to make her something that was a bit more common in my time, yet still practical now.

Even got a few things done! Right after this morning’s Blog post, went to the shop. Had the panel to be raised..
Once that was done….started on the frames to hold the raised panels….Had some “leftovers” took those to the existing panels…..marked for length. Marked for width at 1-1/8” wide. Set up the resaw jig. Ran all four stiles through. Then ganged them up, after cutting a foot detail on one end..
#4 smooth plane was still out, u...

Thought I could get another glue up done…..
Like before, I milled a few tenons. Shoulder cuts on the mitre box, cheek cuts on the bandsaw. That shoulder plane helped tune a couple tenons…
Got out the old mortise jig….It was set up for these 3/4” thick rails. Chopped the center mortises in the rails…stiles are 4/4 thick, had to re-adjust the jig…..to chop a few mortises…
BTW, Dog holes are an excellent way to keep chisels from rolling of...

So I started a while back in designing a new charging station/Tool Storage for my various cordless tools.
I was able to continue work on this as I had already cut and assembled the hanger portions.
There is still quite a bit to go so it may take a while with life happening. Thanks for checking it out. I can post plans for this if requested.

Box is out of the clamps. Decided to build the lid as a frame & raised panel..
Did a bit of trading for a stick of Black Walnut. Crosscut to get a few parts. These for the raised panel..
needed this for a pair of long rails, and..
These two for the short rails.. Long rails were ripped into a matching pair….needed saw marks removed..
Next day. got the blank out of the clamps, and planed them flat..
Made a jig to hold the panel still..
While a pair of #4 plan...

Ok, where was I?
Got the two sides out of the clamps..
Side One..
Was trying to see IF I like the “flat” panel look….not..Side two. I think a Raised Panel look will just have to do…
Which leaves the ends to make. Collection of planes were the ones being used.
They need smaller stiles….made it a bit rough to use the 45….still had a 1×4 slab…I could make the grooves first, rip the part off the slab, and keep making parts. Too...

Again, more of a catching up….
Decided to try to add the plywood back to the case…..on a Monday? Usual stuff went on…
I was just going to get a measurement on what size of a panel I needed to cut out of the 4’ x 4’ panel….was..
One thing led to another,,,,,had to lay the panel ON the dinning room table to mark out two lines needing cut….wound up outside on the patio, using a roll-around cooler as a bench, to saw the panel out….grrrrr

Always seem to be a fight during the first drawer build…..if it has been a while between builds…
Ok, more of a catch up on how things are going….both on the thumb, and the project
X-rays this morning show thumb has healed….been in the splint a bit too long….NOW I get to loosen it up to where it will bend like new, again….to do that, it was back to the shop today..
Ok, Drawers: Laid out a few drawer fronts…
These were the “easy ones...
