Well those of you that read my thread from yesterday no I made some good firewood

Today I redeemed myself a bit. This is to be a bracelet box for my mother-in-law. Did the dovetails on the Gifkins jig. Maple stock with a paduak panel. This is as far as I got today. Since I have to leave on Tuesday for a business trip no progress will be made until next weekend. I will finish the panel now so there is no dust getting onto the maple. Paduak is kind of nasty that way. Anyway, feeling good about this one and a much better day in the shop!
Thanks for looking,

Corey

Hi Bj, it is the box with the panel in it that has not been separated yet. I will finish the panel first and then glue it up and cut it into and finish it.

Good looking box Corey. Glad things are going a bit better for you today.

Thanks George, definitely a better day

Those joints look bloody good Corey, but, (there I go again) for a jewellery box, in my usual humble opinion, thinner stock would give a more dainty look. I know Corey that, like me, you welcome CONSTRUCTIVE criticism.

Your right of course Harry but I think 1/4 was to thin and without a planer 3/8 was as good as I could do

I'm surprised that it's 3/8", from the shots it looks at least 1/2". When you're boss asks what you would like for Christmas, tell him a planer, I know that you're stuck for space (aren't we all?) but I remember seeing a project in a magazine a few years ago where a planer was on one side of a panel and some other machine (I've forgotten what) on the other. The assembly could be rotated within the cabinet so two machines only had the footprint of one.

**challagan** · 12-11-2007, 09:17 AM

Hi Harry that is the deception of the macro lens. It actually looks ok with the 3/8. A smaller dovetail would help as well. Sounds like the flip top cabinet that Bob Noles built. I have a place carved out for a planer and will get one this next year some time. A jointer is the tough one space wise for me.

Throw away that macro lens Corey, it does not do justice to you're beautiful projects.

"A jointer is the tough one space wise for me."

I can't remember if you have a jointer, but if you haven't, in my humble opinion, one is more important than a planer. You can do most things on a jointer but only reduce the thickness with a planer, obviously both is the ideal situation
