Well Dave your first picture worked! Nice looking box too.

Because of my back problem I am going to try making some small boxes, with that in mind I don't suppose you have any WIP pictures?

Having trouble getting them to load. Been trying for ages. It keeps telling me that the file is to big.
Here is another. I will try and get more on

To astute amongst you will notice that this was my first glue up, I found some black walnut and decided to use that for the top edge and also the inlay on the lid. But the glue up was exactly the same. Didn't take a photo of that bit a second time.

Try Fotosizer (http://www.fotosizer.com/) Really simple to use, just highlight all the photos you want to resize (or browse for files), drag them into the Fotosizer pane, select the size you want (800x600 pixels is ideal for forums), choose where to save them and hit the start button.

I did read the posting guide which was fine, but the app that I was using was a little spasmodic. I have now got a new one that seems to work. So this is a test for the new app.

Dave,

Nice box, can I ask how you cut the mitre corners?

Hi Tim
As the box is only 2 inches high, I cut them on the table saw using the miter gauge set at 45 degrees,and the pieces set end on, also using a sacreficial scrap of pine to limit tear out on the back edge. They could also be done on the router table using a 45 degree router bit. The main problem is with the small size of the end pieces, you need small clamps to secure them while cutting.

Hope that helps.
