I've been playing with this off an on for awhile now. Fun little project, I played with several different splay angles just to see the how they work and how they feel. The more you splay the more difficult the work becomes.
Richard, did you talk to Bill Clemmons or Mike Davis - what did they do for the workshop? (I seem to remember they did a sliding dovetail or something a little tricky for the handle board???)Thanks Dan, you're right Roys box is nailed I knew that going in, and flat on one side, his reasoning for the flat side was for carrying long distances. Leave it to me take it to another level and challenge myself. I set out to build my personal interpretation of what I have seen and read. At present I'm happy we will see what the future holds for this box, it could be great or it could be a failure.
Jeff, thanks for the information the first link was in the book. The other links I had never seen before, interesting stuff. So when it comes to exactly what degree it is, 30, or 31, it doesn't amount to much with this project as long as you are consistent. I'll post more pictures later with more info on the build later.
Well played sirOn a completely different tangent

Yes, thanks Jeff, of course you didn't read the part where I own the book.Which book are you referring too? Roy Underhill or the 1915 one titled "Problems in Farm Woodwork"?
