Small Pine Chest 2
Ok ... I said the Small Pine Chest was done ... Impatience!!!
In between working on a new project, I have gone back and fitted the hinges, improved the finish and made an addition to it, hopefully making it more of a finished piece and a lot more useful.
As this project was my warm up to dovetails and making my own tool chest, I decided to add a drawer or till to it. Nothing fancy just a simple butt jointed box that sits on two Oak side rails. As it stands this would make a nice little travelling tool chest. My no#6 plane fits in the bottom like a hand in a glove! In fact its probably a good thing that my large tennon saw doesnt fit as I have now out grown my small toolbox I made (what seems like) ages ago.
Instead its going to make someone a lovely Christmas present...
Anyway, a few pics to really wrap this project up!

Small Gift boxes continued Varnishing
Hi Everyone,
Well, its been a long hot week here and were on the close of this project. Ive taken the boxes inside and Im applying a quick drying polyurethane to them.
Heres a photograph:

I gave all the boxes a light stain and Im glad I did. I think the colors are more vibrant than they were. Also the much scorned cedar of Lebanon and the hackberry boxes look much better and rather than hiding the grain patterns, it enhanced them.
Im going to let these dry and then apply a second coat and then let them dry for 24 hours or until the surface is hardened and cured. Then Ill buff them on the lathe and theyll be done at that point.
So one more posting for this.
