Gift Boxed Almost Finished
I separated the tops from the bottoms and that made the grove around the
perimeter of the previous pictures of the boxes disappear. https://www.flickr.com/photos/lcb112...posted-public/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/lcb112...posted-public/ The box opened with the detail of how the twp parts fit together. https://www.flickr.com/photos/lcb112...posted-public/ And with the first coat of varnish on the sides. https://www.flickr.com/photos/lcb112...posted-public/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/lcb112...posted-public/ By making the sides out of the same piece of wood and separating later you naturally get the grain right on each side. A bonus is that the boxes do not have to be perfectly square as the top and bottoms glue up at the exact same angles. Less to worry about than if I had made the tops and bottoms separately. |

When you made the lap joint, you lost 2x the width of the lap, right? The grain is pretty straight but it doesn't look like there is a piece missing, even. Am I missing something? |

Thank you sir! By making the sides out of the same piece of wood and separating later you naturally get the grain right on each side.Â* A bonus is that the boxes do not have to be perfectly square as the top and bottoms glue up at the exact same angles.Â* Less to worry about than if I had made the tops and bottoms separately.

You lose width of the one of the groves, 1/4", plus the section 1/8" when the desperation cut is made.Â* Basically the resulting bottom of the top side piece is 3/8" closer to the bottom side piece. Crap, not desperation, should be the separation cut. |

Believe it or not, I'm cutting approximately 140 feet of groves for the 11 boxes. AND I am custom fitting the top grove width to receive the plywood panel and the 1/16" thick veneer and custom fitting for the the bottom plywood panel |
