02_2015 Dave's Wood Project - Callie's Bling Case

Dave spent some time this month making me a box to hang my necklaces in. He selected some mahogany wood - 5/4 x 6" rough boards.
Step one is the jointer. This creates a flat surface by repeatedly passing the wood from the infeed table to the outfeed table (can you tell he is dictating this? :))


Next is the planer. This device creates a surface parallel to the downside of the feedboard.


Here is a board going through the jointer.
Here he is checking the squareness of the stack.
Gluing up the three pieces that will become the door.
Gluing in progress...
Doing a cross-cut. (whatever that does!)
Next come the box joints on the perimeter.
And gluing the outer box.
Coming together nicely....
Drying...
Perfection - where the cover meets the frame.
Danish oil brings out the beauty of the wood.
Hooks and a knob
Mounted!
Awesome!
