Thought I would post some WIP, gotta keep my post count up:lol::lol:
I decided I would try some DT joints, I tried one a few months back and it wasnt too bad.
So now I'll try making a box, I think the way to learn is just jump in and do it:lol:
I dont have a DT jig of course but I do have a DT bit so making one side was easy just set the bit hight and the fence and run it through with a backer block (i dont know if this side is called the tails or pins).
The other side, I marked them as close as i could, then cut them with my suzuki saw, then hogged out most of the wood with my cheap bandsaw, and finished up with sharp chisels.
Tomorrow I will sand the mess out of it and see what it looks like:lol:
And think about what kind of top I can make for it:lol:
DONT LAUGH ITS MY FIRST REAL TRY
The easy side
how i cut it
The hard side
Glued up
Needs sanding
