Simon, thats nice work there.....

Wish it was my work Joe, but its not. I just borrowed that picture from the web to see if I had the right idea about the eagletail joint.

Yours is very impressive though.

Really cool looking joint. Thankyou for taking the time to post that. I ahve just bought a leigh jig and I intend to have a weekend of trial and error before i start on my next project. Thise joints have always interested me.

Lovely job Martin =D> =D>

Now I've owned my Incra for nearly 3 years, I guess I should try something like that

Thought that I would finish the box today, quite pleased with the outcome, so I done some pics.

Without a finish

With one coat of danish oil

Close up of joint, a bit out of focus.

I ended up rounding off the corners and the interesting thing about that is the more I took off, the thinner the cornerpost got, I could have sanded it until the Sapele post dissapears and leaves a Sapele spline.

..... quite pleased with the outcome

And so you should be - great job Martin.

C'mon Tony, you are letting the side down, if you haven't done one by Christmas i'll be round to sort you out, and i'll confiscate the Incra :lol:

:shock: Absolutely striking Martin. Would've been a travesty to have not finished it.

I did listen to you and herdsman yesterday and glad I did.

I think the camera has done it proud though

I'm sure it will Paul, just bookmark this thread to remind yourself of the mistakes that I made and it will turn out better.

I don't know whether i'm going to use it for my chiels or not

Thanks for everyones replies, it all helps my confidence with my woodworking adventures.

Send it to me, I'd be more than happy to put my chisels in it.

That turned out looking really good - Very good for a trial run

What are you going to keep in there?

 

[houtslager]

love it, I reckon if you did take a little more off it would look even better, but that's jut my own taste.

I thinkn I might try that joint on some boxes myself later

This thread should have be called 'The re-awakening of the incra masses'

Probably my turning chisels

My Daughter said 'Dad, are we all going to get a box for Christmas' :lol:
