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!
