Didn't know that you could get that size of lumber from a 25 year old tree. ;-) -- There is never a situation where having more rounds is a disadvantage Rob Leatham |

Did you make the sides thick and trim/angle them on the tablesaw or did you calculate the compound corners? ....Kevin -- Kevin Miller Juneau, Alaska http://www.alaska.net/~atftb In a recent poll, seven out of ten hard drives preferred Linux. |

It's beautiful and its provenance makes it something to pass along for generations. I'd be sure to type it out in small font on good paper, then glue the paper to the underside and "decoupage" it with finish so that it becomes a signed piece your did that later generations won't forget. -- Nonny Luxury cars now offer a great seating option for politicians.

Very nice. Did you make the sides thick and trim/angle them on the tablesaw or did you calculate the compound corners? Thanks, all. This is pretty simple -- the joints are essentially half-laps. As you guessed, the box was assembled and then the sides beveled. I did use a table saw, but a band saw is more commonly used since that allows more depth to the box. The design alteration here was the inserts midway up the corners -- the success of the box depends on tight, square joins. Since I'm pretty new at this stuff (at least, at "precise" stuff), things didn't meet. They gapped.* So I opened the gap with a bit more precision and plugged in the purpleheart. Since I'd already used purleheart in the lid, it looks like it was designed that way. grin Dad had rough-split the oak some years before his death, and the purpleheart was something he'd picked up someplace. Got some interesting pieces of cocobolo and rosewood for accents on some future project or three. *Too much speed on my part, though I am looking for a reliable table saw! |

Ewwwww, I can think of two responses to that. 1) Is it really that hard to determine if somebody is dead? 2) I would not want to do THAT for a living! |
