What's your go to method for making them? I have a router jig to make drawers but it isn't my favorite. I've often thought about the iBox jig but never have been motivated enough. It'd also be tempting to make a dedicated fence for a miter gauge but i haven't gone down that avenue yet.
I’ve made 3 or 4 for the TS and saved the good test pieces for setting it up works like a dream also I’ve made them on my Leigh jig and that works even better once it’s set up

Looking great Coop as I would expect from you, really coming together!

I suppose hide glue has its place but when I glue something together I want it to stay glued for a long, long time. Nice info to know @Coop

I use wood dust mixed with shellac in a separate container and work it into the gaps works good

@treeslayer, do you recommend any particular species that holds the points well for those serving forks?
I’ve used all the main woods with no problem Ross, they start out as 9” by 1/2” square blanks

I try to use as many “scraps “ as I can, I love a good fire but I try to find things to make for gifts from the scrap pile, spurtle’s, coasters, serving forks for those fancy meat and cheese boards, and small wood vase’s to hold fake plants, all make great gifts and I keep plenty around to give out as the need arises

I"ll probably need to use 1/4" glass because the opening is 44" x 40"
yeah hinge a door or make 2 doors and use glass door hinges and magnetic catches, or 1 piece and hinge it on the top, i did a big one many years ago, it sat on the floor for a guys toy tractor collection, used 1/4" for the front and sides and tempered on the top with a mirrored back that slid it tracks for access, this going on a wall Drew ?

Yikes ! My first thought is how does he do that ? ill be interested in what you learn Ronn as that's some next level stuff there

So I see a bird disappear above my license plate on my Colorado, turns out there is a 1” X 3” hole from the factory I assume to let any water out in the bottom of the tailgate, well 3 hours later and 3 shopping bags full of birds nest material and after removing a panel on the inside of the tailgate it’s clean now, I’ll silicone a piece of fiberglass screen in place so hopefully it won’t happen again, just a heads up for any Colorado owners here, a real pain to clean out.

@Chestnut funny thus just came up, I just finished one in walnut, promised a good friends widow I would make one for my friends flag, I used the plans off of Woodworkers Journal for the dimensions, applied a 1 1/8” by 5/16” thick mounding on the front of the case to retain the glass and used silicone to secure it in place, 1/4” MDF back screwed into a rabbit in the back, it’s always an honor to make these as sad as it is

I agree @Tom King, I listen more to people who have laced up the boots and picked up a rifle than other people
