Handmade Box for my Router

I truly need to build something like yours for my router. I just might copy a few ideas from you.

I like it all, Congrats on the hand tools use. All of your teachers would be proud of you.

Is that saw blade through both sides? Looked thick in the pic of making it, and looks slightly proud in the pics, but can’t really say if it is.

yes it did, they were proud as well but the number 2 really made short order of it. The joints were tight however which i was happy about, i just have to be careful and mindful of the marking line.

Brilliant job S’V’... great use of solid timber… I cheated, I laserred my box out of MDF.

• solid timber
• inlay
• steel capped boots

How did you “restrain” the router on the bottom of the box (visual light perimeter)?

-- If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD

Thanks for the comments, I used rare earth magnets to hold everything in place, not sure how this will fit in the Dutch tool chest, guess i am going to have to make it slightly bigger.

I put lipstick on a pig. The dovetails were not good enough for a gift or jewelry box but not to bad to trash either, so the router found a home. It certainly won’t fall apart. Lol
