Very nice boxes and so many woods. Thanks for sharing Jeff.

very nice. I keep wanting to make some with my incra but never have got around to it. I hope they turn out even close to yours….

My gosh , that is a gaggle of boxes.
You did go a bit crazy with your little Incra.
Neat.
Alway cool to look back at what you have done.

Hey – thanks for the comments – after looking back on the photos I just posted – I realize that a lot of learning occurred here – like make sure you have the correct increment selected on the jig – otherwise you’ll be shimming those joints (as seen on the close up photos!). That’s all part of it though I guess.

If I was counting (which I wasn’t) but would guess at least 12 mistakes occurred during these builds which I thought would scrap the box, but in the end – they all went out the door…...flaws and all.

Keeping track of all the different lams was always a problem – Good notes and a numbering system helps….

Darkthunder – once you get the basics down about centering the work, etc, you can cranks these out pretty fast….go for it!

Nice work on all of these. I have an Incra fence on order, waiting with bait on my breath.

Jeff, it looks like you were having too much fun!! Nice job and the range of wood types you came up with really is icing on the cake.

Hi Jeff, great selection of wood & boxes.

Glad you decide to show them.

Only 12 mistakes in almost 20 boxes is a winner average Jeff !!

Great Job! I have just started working with an incra jig. Still learning. What thickness of wood are you using? What bit do you use? Thanks

That’s a great series of boxes. They look realy nice.
The choice of wood is equaly nice.

As for mistakes, I average a zillion per project hut I am having fun.

Splendid collection of boxes, Jeff. What is the collective noun for a group of boxes? How many hours did this little lot take I wonder?

Interesting wood combinations too. Tell me, how do you get on with Wenge? I find it ‘difficult’ to be polite. Nice looking though. Padauk and Zebra are a strange yet pleasing combo.

I wish all those ‘serial posters’ out there, who post a number of similar projects singly (one after another), would take note of this post.

Hey – I really appreciate all the comments!

John (Woodenwizard) – wood is 1/2” thick and the dovetails are cut with a 1/2”, 14° bit. Box joints vary by project.

Martyn – the Wenge can really be a pain since it is so brittle, but the material I have is super stable and it actually machined pretty well. I don’t have alot of Wenge laying around and I certainly would not shell out the huge money to buy more – but I’m happy that I managed to crank the box out without much problem.

I am with you on the serial posting thing…...that is quite annoying…......

Wow, love them… I really like Incra tools as well. I might have to get this. The dove tails look awesome! Nice post.

These are all great looking boxes, the contrasting woods look nice too.
