-- Joel, People ask what I make. I tell them I make sawdust, and now and then a nice box or frame,or clock, or lamp pops out.

An attractive and very usable project!
Wherever they go—someone will appreciate having them.

Nice idea…seems simple to make too (except for the sliding dovetails, those are fancy).

Did you make the cutouts using a spindle sander ?

Thanks, guys,
They were super simple, one step up from the original cutting boards.

Those dovetails were easier than they sound if you have a router table and a dovetail bit. Just a piece or two of masking tape on each edge of the panel was enough to give it the taper it needed. A little hand-sanding left them just a little loose so that any finish that got in them didn’t bind them up. They don’t fall out, but they also don’t need a mallet to remove. Nothing fancy there.

The cut-out on the front was a late addition. I made up a quickie jig to hold everything in alignment with a Forstner bit on the drill press since I was batching them out. A spindle sander would have worked just as well but I didn’t think of it since I was already drilling the hole on the bottom for the charger cable.
