Scott Bailey Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 This isn't my first project, but it is the first one where I used actual joinery. I decided to model this after the Gary Rogowski box on TWW's site with a few modifications, and even though there are things I can do better, I am pretty happy with the results. I like the proud finger joints and am pleased with the lid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Bailey Posted February 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 thx guys I'm pretty happy with it. Definitely a learning experience. I am still working on my finishing skills, it was pretty challenging finishing around the joinery without it pooling up, had to sand it down a couple times, but I finally got it so I was happy with the result.

Coop Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Nice choice of wood on the top and finger joints look good and tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enclosed spaces Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Nicely done, getting the grain around the knotty/figured wood can be difficult. Did you use a scraper, or just sanding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Bailey Posted February 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 thanks! I used a scraper and sanded to 220, and yeah it was a bit tricky but luckily there was no tearout. love my scraper the top is slightly beveled on all four sides though you can't really tell from the pic, and I used my smooth plane for that. the hardest part was resawing the lid by hand (i don't have a bandsaw) with an old ripsaw, had to spend a fair amount of time flattening it after that.
