Parts for the 4 sides have been milled down a bit..
A back and the 2 ends….was trying to line up to where the grain match up…
I saved one of the resaw scraps…decided to try it out as the floor of the compartment..
The front of the box, uses a rebate to hold the floor up..laid that out…
And transferred that around to the other 3 sides,,,measuring down from the top of each..
and..
Which should have made laying out dovetails easy enough…got out a couple tools..
Kept double checking the direction the pins were going….eyes didn’t seemed to think it was “right”....
Got out the “new” $2 backsaw, .....
And see if it can earn it’s keep…
About 8 strokes per cut, no binding, no drifting in the cut, and easier to hold onto….might be a keeper.
Set up the chopping block..
Then cleaned it up a bit…yes, I even used a knife line….
Used this to trace out for the tails…
Something still wasn’t quite….right…first dry fit…found out the “end” was bass-ackwards…no a really big deal, just transfer the grooves lines to the other face…irksome, though…about the 3rd dry fit..
At least this is a back corner….I was also on Laundry Detail…at the same time..
And once this load was done in the washer, and loaded into the dryer…shop would be closed…would be a bit to toasty to work, otherwise….swept things up, called it a day….
Monday? Shop was closed for the day…that “Monday” thing….
Maybe later today? We’ll see…stay tuned…
