I've been working on these for the past two years in my spare time, 15 minutes here, 20 minutes there, etc. with a month or two between those short bits of progress. I finally decided to get them finished up ( or at least close to that point.)
I still need to do a little work to the plane till, and finish it. The tool box is in need of a base, but otherwise finished.
It has been a mixture of hand and power tool work. . .The glue-up was hand jointed edges, the dovetails were a power tool affair.
The tool box turned out a little different than I had planned, but that is what happens when that much time elapses between start and finish. Still very functional, and not too terrible looking, in my opinion.
The wood was all scrap cherry from a cabinet job. Wormy, some checks, knots, wild grain direction changes, tearout, lots of pitch deposits. . .
