Just a quick little project.
Not a whole lot of furniture and smaller scale work for me at the moment. I finished some details on a bench or two, and have done some finishing up with chisels and scrapers, chamfered edges for cabinets with planes, etc.
So, since I haven't been building much with hand tools lately, so thought I'd just make a quick and dirty box to get my hand back in.
The result: A raised panel style large candle box in pine, 8 x 16x 5 1/2" tall. BLO finish. Will likely store some sort of tools or tooling. Not really pretty, but functional.
What have y'all done to keep a hand in when there aren't projects to keep your skills sharp?
