| Most of the joinery is cut on the table saw using a crosscut sledge running in the mitre slots. This allows you to make accurately cuts safely. |
 |
| The edges of the sides are mitres and rebates cut top and bottom to take the purpleheart caps. |
 |
| The caps are also cut on the table saw. Field the tongues... |
 |
| And then cut the rest using the tenoning jig to safely hold the piece....... |
 |
| Leaving you with this. The caps are floating to prevent expansion from spliting the sides of the box. |
 |
| Dry fit.... |
 |
| And when happy get the clamps out! |
 |
| Cut the lid off... |
 |
| Plane it smooth with a low angle plane.. |
 |
| and fit the cedar linings. |
 |
| The lid is a push fit. And that's one in the bag!
A wipe with some blond shellac completes the box. |
