I really had a good time making this on back in June of this year. I wanted to have it ready for the Fourth of July. I used two Shopsmith tools that I have never used before; the circle cutting attachment for the band saw to cut out the shield, and the biscuit joiner attachment to cut biscuit slots for the joinery.

My Shopsmith tools earned their keep this summer by helping me with some vital shed remodeling projects. Aside from having fun with my woodworking hobby, I have recorded video of these projects and posted them to YouTube.
I hope you find these entertaining! I had a lot of fun making them.

SWMBO is a Yankees fan and for Valentines day I got her a Waterford crystal baseball engraved with the Yankees logo. It’s about 2-1/2” dia and leaded crystal.

There was a thread here recently about how to build a cubical bin. The OP already had a joinery method in mind but I suggested a mitered panel box. This box is made from 12 identical pieces all cut on the TS.
Each piece needs to have a 3/32” dado in two sides for the lexan panel ins...

Ok..Box first…front and back bottom rails sit lower then the ends do…one is really low down…got out 2 routers..
The Craftsman has a round-over bit…the DeWalt #610 has a edge trimmer…because the bit has a 1/2” shank.
Between the two…
Was able to match the ends to the front and back bottom rails…next, needed to round that lid a bit..
Along the ends… and..
Along the front and back of the lid’s top edges..and any spots I m...

Got a WiFi cam that came with a metal bracket that wouldn’t stand on its own. Made this small hex stand out of some 4” wide scrap.
I set my miter gauge to 30° & stop block so the blade cuts just past the rough centerline. Flip & repeat and I’ve got a point. Set rip fence to board width and run thru with each of the bevels. Total of four cuts and perfect hex.
WiFi Cam Stand.
A quick pass with an ogee bit on the table router and the edges are profiled. You can...

So…started up the mitersaw…and cut four slips for length. Each gets a bead of glue, and a couple clamps….started on the longer sides, attempting to pull the bowed in side back out to straight…then work my way around from there…
Some joints were better..
But, always seems to be That One…
Oh well…going to be covered with a plywood floor above, and a brass foot below. Set this aside for a day..Removed the 3 main clamps from the lid blank..

So in setting up my shop the way I want to, I am putting most of the major tools that take up floor space onto carts. This time it is my tablesaw and an extension for the router to act as a router table.I am making the extension to more or less work with the tablesaw’s existing fence, both to extend my cut capacity on the saw, and to not have another tool table to have to make space for.
The main cart is basic pine, cheap furring strips from the local Lowes, cut square there needed.

The 4 longer ones. I left the spacers inside…as one side wanted to bow in a bit..still, clean up began…
Beltsander to trim down any longer fingertips…smooth plane to level the rest…worked my way all around the outside of the box….also, checked on how well the grain flowed around the corners…I hope..Corner #1…
#2 (note the fat finger?)
I THINK this is #3 corner…

Ok, rest of the corners at done…
This was Corner #3…but it was the last of the corners milled…same as before…Enough that I could put all four corners together into a dry fit…
So, how did the last corner turn out?
The one on the right. Not too hateful? While I had this all set up, had a stack of clamps stop by….needed to get preset, as to which sized clamp can be used…
Just 8 clamps? Hmm….we’ll see….noted I would need...

Friend asked me to build a cash box. Something small enough to fit under a bed but still capable of holding significant amounts of cash in a neat and orderly fashion.
Strong boxes have a long history. They are often metal banded and reinforced and are designed to resist attack. Being wood, fire can breach the structure. However, being a paper money storage strong box, fire will destroy the contents, defeating the purpose.
Completed Strong Box.
Build details below …
I tried t...
