Once again they are made from recycled hardwood fence palings and uses Dovetail joints.
I started by running the palings through the thicknesser and over the jointer and then cut them to length and gluing them together to get the required width of board that I required.
I used a Panel clamp to clamp the boards together. The Panel Clamp not only squeezes the board together but also stops them from bowing and cupping under the pressure.
The boards were then cut for the Dovetails using the Gifkens Dovetail Jig, cut a curve as a access point, angled the tops and bottoms of the boards so they would centre on themselves when stacked. I also recessed the bottom so they could slot into the groves that I cut with a 5mm router bit.
Once assembled and glued together 3 coats to Polyurethane brought them up pretty nice.
Now that the boxes have been used of a semester they are working well.
