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=

Join us this Saturday for one of our most popular classes, Joinery Bootcamp. We cover 4 different joints; half lap, bridle, mortise & tenon and the half lap dovetail. Only a few spots left. #joinerybootcamp #trysomethingnew #torontocraft #torontowoodworking #torontoclasses (at The Unplugged Woodshop)

Next step in our tea box project are the grooves. These will hold the box bottom and sliding lid in place. The tool for the job? A plow plane. This is one of the most enjoyable and reliable joinery planes available… easy to set up without too many bells and whistles. In short, it does what it’s supposed to do.
