Unable to restock the Lumber Rack at the moment..decided to dig through some of the Left over stuff sitting around in the shop....wasn't much all that big, but..

Maybe a small box can be in there, somewhere....at least 2 sides..and a Pine bottom...

These might do for the 2 ends, and maybe a lid? As for the last 2...

Ash and Pine.....might be a bit too thin? We'll see...

Stay tuned...

 

[bandit571]

Re-sized a few...

One for a lid, 2 for the sides, 2 for the ends...and one for a bottom

Thinking maybe a box to hold a Stanley No. 80 Scraper plane.....beats hanging around on a nail...

Corner joints?

Need to get back in the shop, and chop up the other corners...

Doesn't take all that many tools to do...

Can be either hand sawn, or Bandsawn..

Same chisel that does the spacing layouts, also chops out the waste. These will then be used to lay out the matching fingers...

Then fine tuned during a dry fit...two done. 2 more to do...
Chisel is a 1/4" wide Witherby....

Not bad at all Bandit.

And...we have a glue up..

took 8 clamps..

That spacer in the middle?

Is to keep the sides from bowing in....no glue needed here..
Meet Mr. Jackson..

He had a bit of work to do, tonight...

Lot of these sort of cuts...then the chisel could take over...

The same chisel that did the layouts..

work from the outsides in to the middle...and adjust the middle to work.

Waiting on glue to dry overnight...stay tuned..

Clamps came off tonight....box was then straightened, glue joints cleaned up...ends are square, now..

Using the panel for the lid to help the clamps...as the bottom panel is getting glued in place...

Let this sit overnight...then, clean things up...and see about adding the lid via some hinges?

Stay tuned

 

[bandit571]

Clamps have been removed...bottom has been trimmed a bit..

Glued in place, yet looks like it is floating...
Added a Pine floor for the plane to sit on..

The Stanley No. 80 has a bare, cast iron sole...prefer it to NOT sit on the Ash wood...Keeper was also glued in place..

Making sure things fit. Lid was trimmed to size..was a bit rough on one face...we have ways...

If'n I have to pay $80 for a plane..it had better do the job...

Much better. Was trying to match grain..

And decide whether this is the "Front", or, The Back of the case...

Stay tuned...need to get some hinges, a latch..and see about a finish...

 

[Knothead62]

Interesting...hand cut box joints. BTW, you need more clamps.

 

[bandit571]

Hinges worked on...

Pilot hole bit was a bit too big..
A latch was also installed..

Corners of the lid were rounded to match the corners of the box...

Double check that the plane still fits...

Close and latch the lid...brush on, and wipe down a coat of Gunstock stain...

And let it sit a day or two...

Tried to get the grain details to line up....
May add the Woodshop's Brand..and see about some Varnish....we'll see..
Stay tuned..

Nice little storage box for that plane Bandit.
