The Art of Japanese Joinery, Kiyosi Seike
"The joiner's art, almost forgotten in the West by all but fine cabinetmakers, has had a long history in Japan, where it is still vigorously alive. The reputation of the traditional carpenter rests largely on his skill as a joiner, choosing and fashioning joints unknown in the West."

It's a box! Or more accurately a box made up of minor mistakes. Been working on improving my dovetails and trying out some extra flourishes with the lid and base. It's kinda a mini version of the school box described in the Joiner and Cabinet maker. (Which incidentally,the full sized one is next on my project list.).
Overall the base moldings ended up a bit too wide so it looks a tad awkward. Also I didn't want to spend anymore time finishing it so it likely needs another coat or two of shellac.

Y'all, look how dark and heavy the resin was in this board of yellow pine I was planing at work (the resin is the darkest reddish-brown color at the top end of the board). The smell coming off of it was amazing but my plane blade was getting so sticky and every shaving was almost tacky to the touch. For real, though, I wish you could smell this. I love the smell of longleaf yellow pine.

Thames Wood Ring Of Sighs by Stephen Einhorn
2mm-wide sections of 2000-year old Thames Wood oak and precious metal. Pegged mortise and tenon joint. £3,800.
From the Thames Wood collection:
'In 63AD the Romans had to rebuild the port facilities of London on a part of the Thames. The most enduring material for this structure at that time was wood. They found a small forest of Oak trees growing on the Greenwich peninsula and dragged the huge timbers to the site. Slowly over time the Roman port had become submerged and has been preserved in silt for over 2,000 years. We now own this remarkable material and like diamonds there is a limited amount of this precious artefact. Using innovative new technology in order to utilise this resource, we have made a core Thames Wood collection.'

The box is assembled ( no glue ) after the bottom and middle divider is fit. The middle divider is captured in stopped dados. The top edges of the divider is shouldered so I could round over the top edges and not create gaps in the joinery. Next step is the lid and then onto the finish. I’m not planning to glue this box as it will serve well as an example piece for our 5-day box making courses and will be beneficial to be able to pull it apart to see what’s going on inside the joinery. This is a great example of the kind of project you could build in our course: It Starts with a Box…Details on the Unplugged Woodshop website. #theunpluggedwoodshop #anunpluggedlife #boxmaking #boxdesign #handcutjoinery #handtoolsonly #learnwoodworking #woodworkingclasses #torontowoodworking #unpluggedwoodworking #joinery #unplugged (at The Unplugged Woodshop) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp5Kxz5OgvU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
