This is a project I have worked on for way too long, (Work and Football season have really taken their toll). In my continuing quest for better hand cut dovetails and building small cabinets, i built this out of Flame Birch and Peruvian Walnut. I purchased the Birch with no project in mind, but...

This is my first small box made with hand cut dove tails, I definitely need some practice. The sides are figured Maple, the lid frame is Walnut and the top and bottom panel is Birds Eye Maple. My goal was to use only hand tools but I ended up re-sawing the stock to expedite the project in time...

I saw this in a magazine and wanted to make it for my step son, he told me he would rather make it with me so we made two. This is mine, I am trying it as a box to hold my carving tool. This is the first time I tried hand cut tails and I learned a lot. We had a great time making them. Hand...

Quick update on a box I made this weekend that was a direct knockoff of from Sean over at Simply Cove on Youtube - great woodworker and awesome content for those looking for another online woodworker to follow. That said, proportions etc. were completely different vs. his on this one. I did...

This was for my sister Katy for her birthday and is my first box with my new Veritas 14 tpi dovetail saw. I was able to cut much smaller and tighter dovetails than on my other boxes. I was also using my newly made 1:7 dovetail marker. So far, I've done all my dovetails by eye but I needed...

This box started life as practice for half blind dovetails for a drawer in a different project. It was my first time doing half blinds but all four sets turned out great so I went on to the actual drawer. The practice box sat around my shop until the day before our family Christmas get together...

I built this box just to kill time in the shop. There was no one in mind and no real plan going in. It's red oak with a walnut handle. The dovetails are hand cut and so are the grooves for the bottom and the groove on the lid that the walnut handle fits into. All the stock was dimensioned by...

Tracey had a destination wedding - the whole family went to Tuscany to see her and Galen tie the knot. So I wanted to make a jewelry box for her that reflected "Italy". So what does one do to reflect "Italy"? Then I started looking at tourist places for the trip and it occurred to me that the...

As I said in my first blog, I'm hooked on woodworking now and one of my first projects was this maple table top I made for my wife's hall table. It's from a tree I cut down myself and had milled by a friend from work. Practicing with my bisquit jointer, planet and router, I'm happy how it turned...

A beech and walnut small box built as a thank you present for my physiotherapist without whom my elbow would remain in a state. Finish is one coat of danish oil followed by three of satin varnish. I'm quite pleased with the way that the dove tails have turned out on this one. The cut away base...
