    Wink Out of Control

    This box was going to be a simple box in which to store my router bits. I had picked up some Merbau rather cheaply from Bunnings and had never worked with this timber before - either for its main use (outdoor hardy stuff) of for anything else. Also, I had never made finger joints and thought I'd give it a go.
    Things got 'out of control' and the box evolved into something completely different from the initial intended idea.
    After joining stock and cutting other bits down - with the attendant risk of cutting small and narrow pieces on my Triton (soon to be replaced) - the box contains 39 separate pieces.
    All the imperfections were intentional to ensure originality .
    Wish I had some of the mortice hinges JohnC used!

    From what I can see it looks great but the pictures are a wee bit on the small side to see properly.

    Looks useless for router bits, what were you thinking?


    Great job mate, looks terrific.

    Looks great. Don't you just love it when plans go astray?

    A box of the finest kind there is. Yes, the pics seem a bit smallish, I would have loved to see a bit better how that merbau grain goes there.
