Guest Report post Posted August 24, 2014 This is an unfinished project made at university while I completed my 4th year carpentry apprenticeship studies. There's more smoothing of joints to do as well as adding some small walnut inlay pieces at the corners of the plywood top. The wood used was a terribly soft pine, so there's some tear out at the joints. All in all though a good project and I'm looking forward to the final finished box.

FlaFly 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2014 Are you planning to put a suitcase handle on it? If you do, how will you keep all the stuff in the bottom part in place? It reminds me of an artists kit I had once, there was a palette that filled all the space so it covered the two halves when it was closed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2014 Nice fit, nice seams. I agree with FlaFly though, in that if you carry this on end, you'll get stuff shifting all over. I am looking forward to the finished product with inlays and ... stains? Varnish? Eagerly awaiting pictures. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
