  1. Candle Box

    This is a traditional dovetail candle box that I truly enjoy making. The joinery is hand-cut dovetails, the lid and the bottom part (which is solid cherry like the rest of the box) have hand-planed bevels, the indentation in the top used to open the box is hand carved. The box is sanded by hand...

    The Wood I mentioned recently that I felt like actually making something before working on my bench. What better project for my beginner skills than a simple dovetail box? I haven't waded through the loads of plans online for boxes, so this plan of mine might not work. Let me know what you...

    Starting from Scratch Today I had my first real shop time since Mothers Day. I finished my wife's box just in time to give it to her, but I still hadn't put any finish on it. So today I started by putting on the first coat of oil/varnish/mineral spirits. Once I did that, I figured I'd start...
