    Very nice Paul. The drawer with the wooden latch is a really cool idea. Thanks for sharing!

    Very neat. As Chris said, I really like the little wooden latch, and the tapered pin thing holding the top on. . .

    Hi Paul!

    Nice work! Like the French fitted bottom...

    Make sure there's room in the drawer for just one more accessory, hmmm????



    Cheers -

    Rob

    Let me guess... you're going to make an adapter that will allow a Dremel tool to be mounted on the plane

    Great box, I like the dovetail proportions on the end. It really pops out.

    Every time it comes to mind to build a box for a tool I think of making it in a way that could become a drawer for a larger chest. This one looks like it could fit into that kind of service.

    Nope.... no free electrons involved.....

    Something I've wanted for a year or two though. A bit specialised, but neat...

    Hmmm...specialized from Canada.....must be a James Ready or Molson bottle holder attachment for the router plane.

    zip zip (sound of a router plane in a dado groove)

    Thanks for the nice comments guys. I don't like practicing dovetails. I'd rather make something, even if they aren't great. I've found a little hide glue and sawdust (not sand dust) makes the gaps less obvious. Hopefully I'll get better.

    Rob, let me guess: a twin laser for more accurate work?

    OK, I'll play. My guess is a vertical blade or blades to allow cutting and/or insetting banding.

    That's what I was kinda thinking too. I bet it is something to do with inlay.

    Paul,
    I have a 71 1/2 coming from the bay and you just gave me an idea on how to store/protect it.
    Ditto on dovetails... just do them. Practice pieces are throw-aways.
