Tea Caddy (dry fitting box)



Belated Happy Holidays!


Dry fitting the dovetails. I cut and pair the pins by hand then band saw and pair the tails.

Tea Caddy (Chopping Dovetails)


Lots of dovetails to be chopped. Notice the waste areas are marked with pencil. Its real easy to make a mistake and chop out the wrong area if you're not careful.

Tea Caddy (dovetailing box)

Its therapeutic to get back to the shop and to cut dovetails by hand. This is going to be a small but fun project, a reproduction of an eighteenth century tea caddy. I will post a picture of the original when complete.
