    Default WIP Blanket Box

    Here are some pics at my first wood working project.. this is a blanket box i am making for my senior workshop class.. Design Folio Avaliable

    Pic 1. Is the box as is.. but with bas dry fitted and unfinished

    Pic 2. The box with the lid sat ontop for visual reference

    Pic 3. The various other pieces that will later be used for facing to hide my ugly jointing. Also the check pattern that will be used for the top and sides.

    Box size is around 750x450x405 i believe

    Cheers

    Hi NB,

    One quick Q: The carcass appears to have dovetailed corners, so I'm a bit perplexed by the half-lap type of joint appearance on the bottom (in the first pic) corner?

    Otherwise, it seems to be coming along rather well.

    Love checks, especially the red and white ones.

    It'll look good when done

    Auld: I think the half-lap is an optical illusion. There's no lap, just the grain on the plywood bottom makes it look a bit that way.

    Nero: looking good so far. I might have run the grain on the plywood bottom lengthways, rather than across, but it's no biggie. How did you fit the bottom?

    Also: what species timbers are you using?
    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.

    Looking good mate, how is the top going to be fitted will it be hinged or lift off?
