My first project.

Here is my first project. It is a box for the puzzle (don’t remember the name of the puzzle). I bought this puzzle a few years ago but it didn’t come with a case or anything so I thought that I would make my own.

Very nice! How did you cut your box joints, with a box joint blade, router, or standard table saw blade with a jig?

Sorry for neglecting all of the comments on this project. I have been out of woodworking for a while due to remodeling my garage for woodworking then being relocated to South Carolina for a job. I am in the process of building a micro woodworking area in my apartment bedroom so I can continue to get my wood on.

The size of the box joints are 1/4 in using dado blades and a jig that I made for spacing the fingers. The fingers were set proud so that I could flush them up using a block plane. These were my first box joints and I think that they came out pretty good. Can’t wait to do more. My new temporary shop will be mostly hand tool work. All of my power tools are still in Alabama so hopefully I will get good at using the hand tools.

Thanks for the comments. I hope to post more work in the near future.
