My Father-in-Law wanted a box to put “found” items into.
~ when he finds something he knows he should keep….
~ when he doesn’t know what something belongs to….
~ When he can’t find what something belongs to….
~ when he thinks he might need it later….
~When he…........
>then, this is the box it will go into untill he resolves the mystery – thus – What’s it; Where’s it.
And, it’s BIG, so he doesn’t lose it.
I wonder how long before it’s filled…......
Simple pine box
10” tall
10” deep
20” wide
Dovetails on the Keller Jig (I love this jig)
top and bottom – birch ply inset to rabbeted edge
Brass Hinges mortised
Two coats of Watco
Simple clips on the front – so stuff doesn’t fall out….and he wants to know Wherezit???

I could use 4 or 5 of these. I spend about half my shop time looking for parts or stuff I just KNOW I already have.

Not enough can be said for a simple pine box. Has it been delivered or do I get to see it?
”~ when he thinks he might need it later…”
That what a garage and a barn are for! LOL.

What a great idea for a box. And a great looking ox to boot.

Thanks new Buddies!
He brought it back to me a couple weeks later cuz the lid was sticking. I used a trick I learned when I spray adhesive on wood to tack on the paper design. I have to get rid of the sticky adhesive left on the wood around the paper. I rubbed a little baby powder around the edge and that solved it. No more stick!
He also wanted a smaller box for inside. I gave him a nice cigar box that fit inside. I gett them from one of the tobbaco stores for buck!
