Clamps removed...found an issue..

Or, rather 2 issues. Back of the drawer has holes. Had some Rosewood scrap, and made two plugs...

Problem solved. Front got planed smooth. Ends weren't too hateful..
Drawer and PIP, ends done.JPG
Question was whether 2 knobs were too much..
Drawer and PIP, 2 knobs.JPG
or just one..

Hmmm, decided one will be enough..cordless drill..

Have rubbed the box and drawer down a second time, with 0000 steel wool, AND a clean rag....not a real glossy finish...should be good enough to sit around in the shop.

Film when I can get it processed....

Stay tuned

Box will be staying in the shop. Once a spot is cleared out for it at the "East End" of the bench.....all the pencils and other small layout tools will be headed there, as well.

Drawer will hold all the small hardware parts.....and a couple tools to install them with...

Just have to clean this spot out...

This MIGHT take a while to do....
