Sycamore Drawer Box Build Process

This morning I clamped the box to the side of the chest and cleaned up all the joints with the little home-made block plane:

The result:

There isn't much more I can do on this box now until I get home. I guess I could get the drawer fronts sized to fit the gaps, but it seems a little pointless given that's all I'll be able to do.

I'll have a ponder (and a scan through the wood pile) to see what other project I can get on with. It probably won't be a drawer box (I doubt I'll have time to do another one from start to finish while we're here) but I'm sure I'll come up with something.

For now, I'll finish with a photo of a local escape-artist inspecting the bench:

I am a hobbyist metalworker and woodworker. I work as an electronic design engineer and spend most of my working days in front of a computer so I enjoy having the opportunity to use my hands and make things in my spare time. I particularly enjoy making tools as I can then use them on other projects. This website showcases some of the things I've made.
