May have another "scraps" Project to work on..

[Stew Denton]

Steven,

Have been busy, so have not kept up with the build, so read it just now. Very nice project, and I liked the look of the rounded over edges and also the shellac finish.

At any rate I enjoyed the build and the final result looks great. I was wondering what the end use of the box would be as I read along, and the spoke shaves go well in the box.

Thanks for posting the project. It was a fun read.

Well...needed some sort of "rack" hold them still. Didn't want to use Ash to hold Iron tools, so, some Pine scrap was used....Cut into 2 pieces...one needed a trim off the top..

Notched the corners, to better fit inside the case....laid out 4 slots....bandsaw to make a few cuts...

Decided to transfer the marks to the other holder....after the first had been done...with a chisel..

Then mark the slots, saw the slots, chop the slots...a bit of hand sanding to clean things up...time for a dry fit?

And let the spokeshaves determine where the two holders will go.....pencil lines to make the marks....set the 'shaves aside..glue the holders into place...brush on a coat of shellac...

Re-install the spokeshaves in their new home..

Close the lid, and brush on coat #3 of shellac to the outside....and allow to dry...

Stay tuned...am going to try a top coat of Clear Gloss Poly, later..

Am not out of lumber in the shop...may have to go on a Lumber Run later this week?

Until then...put things away, sharpen where needed...and take a vacation from the shop....maybe

Thanks for looking in!

Whenever I see one of your “scraps” project, I am tempted to load up the truck with lumber and dump it on your front lawn. I certainly don’t want you to run out.

Well.....I am indeed out of Lumber supplies, right now....
