This week we began constructing our tool box.
Started with solid wood breakout.
I over complicated my layout a tad bit but I scaled back. (I’m noticing that I seem to overcomplicate my steps which leads to mistakes.) Made my front and back and cut my tops and bottoms out of birch ply.
Mitres…
I had to mite my front back and sides which I did but I confused about the rough length and fucked it up and didn’t realize till the next day. But it was an easier fix and now I’m good. I routed of my hinge block, cut my drawer rests and routed them too. I then added a 3×3 glue trap to them aswell.
My friend cut me my inlays out of walnut. (W Torin)
Then we had to use the biscuit joiner which is cool as fuck. So now I had mitred corners reinforced with biscuits.
Then came the glue up. Scary as hell but did it.
Then.. I found two pieces of mahogany which I was allowed to use for my drawer front back and sides.

Following several 'Preparationers' as they discover the world ... and themselves, I offer the following comments in good faith ... and a loving heart
Because your posts seem a bit thin on words, perhaps you might embrace the concept of 'a picture is worth a thousand words' by including photos of your work, as well as the project detail work which you refer to in your posts
Including photos might assist you in expressing yourself more fully, allow your audience to follow along more attentively and make your postings more interesting as well
In addition, you could probably spare us the gutter language you insist on including in your posts without loss of substance in your writing and save it for when you're with your buddies
I'm confident you're a fine, upstanding young man finding himself in this troubled world of ours, no need to lower others' opinion of yourself by flinging gutter smut all about
One man's opinion ... in good faith
Good luck and all the best!
