Had a pile of leftovers from that Microwave Oven Cabinet….resawed a few pieces down…just scraps, really.
Glue-ups for the front and back raised panels, end panels came from a 1/2” by 6” cut-off. Lid is a solid piece, fro a cut-off of the 1×12. Steel, domed foot pads. Three coats of Amber Shellac. A small handle on each end.
Size: Top is 3/4” x 7” x 11-3/4”. Box is 6-1/2” x 11-1/4””. Stands about 9-1/8” tall, counting the lid.
Mainly White Oak. Panel for the bottom is 1/4” Luann plywood, also from leftovers.
Corner joints are Tongue and Groove joints, no other fasteners were used.
Panels were raised using a hand plane, or two. They sit in 1/4”x 1/4” grooves, made with the Stanley No. 45.
Nice way to use up a pile of left=over scraps.

Another stellar job on building the Oak box…..It’s always nice to use scrap material up on a small project like this…it turned out good, and you really know how to put a plane to work….!! Looks like you have plenty of them to work with….!!
