Re: Playing with Boxes

Got out in the shop yesterday afternoon and was able to glue up the trays to let them dry overnight. I thought they looked pretty good. Once they dry overnight, I'll probably do some additional sanding on the outside of the rails to smooth them a bit more, tweek the curves, etc. Once that's all done I'll add the dowels to match the box. Finally, I'll re-stain the rails in preparation for adding a finish. It was important to stain the trays before assembly to insure the maple bottoms were crisply stained.
Back at it once I finish my coffee. Weather is nasty, but the shop is warm.
I got the first coat of stain on the box, but haven't gotten the underside of the top done yet. I'll do that this morning.
It too will get a second coat, at least.Back at it once I finish my coffee. Weather is nasty, but the shop is warm.
