Wanted to make a couple of boxes, a watchbox, humidor-gifts
Watchbox is for my son.
Figured when I croak, I want him to inherit my watches, the few that Ive purchased over the past 35 years that have any value.
Got alot of mahogany, so why not give it a shot.
I dont do well with tight fitting little things made out of wood.
Had some planed down from table, figured out the size I need.
check out this cool clamp, not sure if its made for this or strictly cabinets, but it worked fine, just had to adjust pressure and tighten down,measured all sides to see if square.
Wanted a small base molding to go around bottom of box, since IM glueing a bottom to walls. Have to make my own molding, so I routed out a few lengths with a profile, maybe cove?(its not like I have a choice, I only have 3 router bits for shaping edges)
Then cut the wood to 2 inches height, and then sliced it as thin as I could get without losing the profile.(about 5/8ths, I was shooting for 3/8s)
Glued up a base, cut out a top, and now I have to let it sit and dry overnight before I continue.
