ECE from Germany make one new and is available from Lee Valley.
The worst thing about this project is that it is done, I did not want it see it end. I have been making a dovetailed blanket box with white pine and have to say it was a rea PITA, the wood split and chipped out in places I never thought it would, though every one who see it thinks it looks good, I am not so sure.
If I was to do it again I think I would use yellow poplar, or something else a bit more amenable to the process. I should add that the project was done from rough to finish, hand tools only with what was essentially 1x 12 rough barn board from home depot, but I could not resist the .95 a board foot cost.
Thanks Robert it was a great tutorial.
Craftsmanship is the skill employed in making a thing properly, and a good craftsman is one who has complete mastery over his tools and material, and who uses them with skill and honesty.
