Another....Jewelry box (5)

[Mike1950]

Been a few days- I only work a bit in the early AM- beautiful outside weather keeps me outside, along with bugs in the sprinkler system. :dash2::dash2::dash2: When you have a flower lovin wife like mine-you either fix the system or hold a hose watering her babies all day............:wacko1::wacko1:
Have all the drawer stock prepared, I have learned to measure how much is needed. Otherwise I am always short. I measured twice- seems I always do because I never believe the first measurement. 90 feet with a little extra. 6 drawers in each case x 4x 5 cases 120 pieces. I have to be crazy to do 5 at a time, at least I am qualified for that part...............
Using hard maple this time. No reason besides it was there. Sides are 3/8's thick-a little thicker then I would normally do but I will dado the sides for the slides.

Looking good, Mike!

You know, you could resaw those drawer parts in two and have some pretty nice 1/8" stock for my little laser project...

Done with the router side of the dovetails on the drawers now the hand work side. 30 drawers. :dash2::dash2: Finished shaping and rough sanding legs and finish sanded 12. Put a rabbet in the backs for back panel-sanded 4 of the cases to 60 grit and one to 220 and glued legs on. A little premature but I wanted to see what it was going to really look like. Put a coat of finish on outside. Silver maple with cherry legs. I am going to like these. Legs have a certain elegance about them- at least that is what my better half thinks.

Very nice progress Mr. Mike. Better listen to the better half, if your like me and know nothing of elegance.

 

[GROOVY]

[Mike1950]

Sorry guys I have been distracted- Kathie has plenty of honey do's + 5'x5 1/2'x12' kiln- finished and loaded with 500 bd ft walnut. :dash2::dash2::dash2:
30 dovetailed drawers are slowing me down.............

 

[NYWoodturner]

Man - I just admire the man who can stare down 30 drawers...

 

[Mike1950]

Thanks Scott- insanity would be an appropriate description. :dash2::dash2: Usually I just get in a groove and get them done. But 1. there are 30 of them. 2 I only get a little time in the AM. 3 they are hard maple. I have 5 of the larger ones done- got bored with them and did a little assembly on cases for a change. Rabbets on sides for inside side panels and rabbets on top for top tray. Sure makes them look different.

Thanks mr. Duck- I enjoy finding what the wood wants to be. There will be at least 4 WB sellers wood in these boxes. The trick will be figuring out what wood belongs to what seller. From here on if it is WB wood it will not be labeled........... until somebody figures out what it is.

Oh but it is even better then that- One will be a mystery box- One disappears at a certain point only to magically appear somewhere else. :rotflmao3::rotflmao3::rotflmao3: That makes no sense - right??? GOOD!!!!

10 drawers dovetailed and panels in the inside of all 5. It rained today so I thought I would have the whole day in shop- teach me to think- every thing that could interrupt me---DID!!! plus a couple other things. I will be done with these drawers before I get in the groove. :dash2::dash2::dash2:

41.5 hrs They sure do not look like a weeks work. :dash2::dash2::dash2:
But then again it is only a day for each one.
