Travel Tool Chest & Workbench Build Process

Return to main project page

Another practice today (I made the tails a bit long for the pin board really, but it worked okay anyway, surprisingly):

... and with an attempt to hide the gap:

In many ways, these seem easier than standard dovetails. They're a bit more tedious as you can't saw out the waste in the pin board, but that means there's no accurate sawing required. Only having one joint face visible also hides all manner of sins!

I'm still slightly daunted by the idea of cutting 16 of these joints (plus 16 normal dovetails) reasonably accurately in order to make the drawers for my tool

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.
