    Default Large run of boxes - WIP

    Well, it's back to the day job today, but I did make some good progress on this next run of boxes. They're a Doug Stowe design with some modifications.

    Here's a very picture heavy update from my blog...

    Default More work on the boxes!

    It was a nice and toasty 33 degrees here in the Twin Cities, so I found myself back out in the shop!

    It's so much nicer working in the shop when you can't see your breath and your fingers don't go numb!

    I was able to complete the glue-ups on the boxes. It's been pretty cold again here in Minnesota, so I moved the operation into the house.

    Thanks Art!

    It warmed up for a bit there (into the 40's) and then we had another winter storm roll through, with a pretty heavy load of snow. We're back down into the 20's and 30's now...mostly 20's. Can't wait for Spring!

    Always a good idea to be comfortable when you are woodworking. I move things inside the house when I have to apply finish.

    This week I built a slot cutting jig for box corners, and today I made it back out into the shop and got some cutting done. I'm adding the corner splines to about 2/3 of the latest run of boxes.

    Check it out...
