Making My Toolbox – Truing and Sizing My Wood

Making My Toolbox – Truing and Sizing My Wood

21 September 20147 December 2016

I’ll be making a couple of these toolboxes, one for this blog and the other for the filming. The methods will be about the same although there may be some variance if I see the need for some practical or necessary reason of improvement. To start with, in this blog I am using up a…

Making My Toolbox – Laying Out the Dovetails

Making My Toolbox – Laying Out the Dovetails

22 September 20147 December 2016

I glued up my toolbox build yesterday afternoon before I left the Penrhyn Castle workshop for home. Multiple dovetails demand your full attention and of course you must drive yourself so as not to procrastinate and so fail to set the tails home into the glued recesses. Dismantling the original toolbox we’re copying is still an…

Making My Toolbox – Coping With Dovetails

25 September 201414 October 2021

Making the Toolbox – Skirting , Lock and Hinge Rails

6 October 20147 December 2016

Dovetailed Skirting and Lock and Hinge Rail Misnomered as Trim There is more to it than that. The skirting boards protect the box from damage or at least reduce the risk of main-box damage, that’s true, but it more importantly thickens up the base area corners to make for much increased structural stability and solidity…

Filming the Toolbox Making Videos

12 November 20147 December 2016

Working on the toolbox build Yesterday and today we filmed making the toolbox for the start to the New Year series to start 2015 with. I have a feeling that this could be as popular a series as any we have done so far and as far as conservation goes it’s important to me as it means hundreds…
