Thanks, guys.

I’ve done the dovetailed splines before, Tony. But practice makes better. I made a bunch of spare spline material too, so you’ll probably be seeing citrus splines again soon.

Tom, it was all scraps at hand. The canarywood was a $5 piece from the shorts bin at Rockler, and I’m pretty glad I grabbed it. It’s pretty and nice to work.

A lot of great effort put into the making. Nicely done dave.

Well done, I like the dove tails, great job.

Thanks!

Dave, there was also plenty of sitting and staring at it, trying to figure if the bits were going to fit and now get banged around and… I finally ended up stuffing a piece of bubble-wrap into the lid.

Looks like a very nice box Dave. Nice set of drill bits too. You added a lot of nice details to the box….pretty cool

Hmm. I don’t think it would work well on my tubed tyres, Rob. ;-)

Love to see others looking after their often neglected tool D’P’ (nearly spelled you with a small P… I assume you may prefer a big P). It’s incredible how we look after some of our tools and may at times spend more time on protecting them than using them (well I do).

I have kept my little secret for many years, however, since you’ve shown me yours I’ll show you mine…

forgive this Philistine as I don’t even know what the plane is called that the blades belong to… all I know is it had Record 044 embossed on it’s side and it ruined the crap out of my turntable… my Beatles will never sound the same!

PS. I didn’t buy it but inherited it, hence my ignorance… but as the missus would volunteer… arrogance!

Appears to be irons for a combination plane of some sort, LBD. And now I’m the one required to say, “nice box!”
