Nice. How many finger joints did you have to cut?

Nice!

They Look like Bee boxes, which tend to use finger joints, although beekeepers tend to call them dovetails for some reason. Did you cut those by hand? I am making boxes to hold tools too, getting ready for a move.

Handsawn, then pop the waste out with a chisel. Dovetails were getting a bit boring to do, anyway. Existing box was finger jointed, I thought I might as well give them a try.

For some reason, I didn't finish the insides.....maybe at a later date, eh?

Need to find out where the boss put the printer paper.....then maybe I'll try to print a few labels......IF I can find the Roxton Pond labels....

Well, calling it done, for now. Will be on the lookout for the two match cutters, the depth stop for the slitter, and maybe a screwdriver. Plane is to be a user in the shop. OEM box is to be displayed on a shelf..empty.

Fun little box to build, though.

Nice box Steven. That 45 has a nice new home. I think you will find it useful too. i use mine a good bit. A little finicky to set up at first, after a few set ups no problem getting it to work.
