wtnhighlander Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Vinny, if you need an accurate angle to gague by, try a drafting triangle from the nearest office supply store. Relatively cheap and simple, available 60*, 30*, or 45* angles, and you can use it to check the calibration on that Wixley that I know you're gonna get....

wouldwurker Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Ha! Already ordered the wixley about an hour ago. Thanks gang. Had some nice kickback btw with a piece of marblewood just now...heart stopped for about five seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wouldwurker Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 I punked out on those decorative legs..just need to get these done...no time for trial and error. Some keys glued in. I used cutoffs from the exotics, so I went with 1/4" keys in lieu of 1/8". All the bottoms are marblewood. (Those rosewood boxes in the back aren't glued up yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wouldwurker Posted December 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Lids rabbeted to fit with an 'air pop' freshness seal. . Lids need sanding and ready for finish. One side of the lid beveled to 7 degrees 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
