    I could "refine" things with a spokeshave, later?

    Right now...
    Sun. Afternoon, clamp attack.JPG
    We be waiting on glue to dry....diagonal clamp to pull things into square...

    Once the clamps can come off, I can glue the bottom onto the tray....and figure out what to sit the tray on inside the box.
