hi all,
haven't posted much lately but i have been a wee bit busy.
i guess i will let the pics speak for themselves for the most part. all case parts (except the back) are cherry, the same is true for door rail and stile parts. the door fields will be veneered with red gum on the inside and i found some real nice waterfall figured bubbinga veneer for the outside fields. and the space in the middle of the cabinet will be drawers with either bubbinga or cherry faces. i am still working out the details for the legs. originally there were going to be like upside down T's with mortise and tennon joints holding the two parts together. the long part of the T i think is going to have a long slot in the middle to raise and lower the case itself in the legs . ( picture an old style school room portable chalk board)
does anyone have a better idea for this ? this tool case is for joan for her new lathe tools, full size sorby's and micro sorby's too plus a oneway chuck, and a few goodies i will donate to the cause that she doesn't know about yet ok so she will soon after seeing this . but she wont see the doors or other details until i deliver it. hmmmmm maybe i should have her turn the legs for it that would be a fun first project for her new toy
ok after seeing the pictures you get the idea i hope. big tools on the left , little tools on the bottom right , and a bank of drawers in the middle for diffrent sanding disk grits and micromesh paper in diffrent grits.
everything is ready to go in the vacuum press in the morning. its my dad in laws birthday party tommorrow so probably not much shop time . the press will have lots of time to do its thing
ok so you see what i am up to, now lets see what your working on
