alfred's box

mitered box joint

I have been making progress on a box inspired  by one that Alfred made during last week's box making class at Marc Adams School.

I have added a bit of complication to this design by making a mitered box joint, as you can see in the photo.

The box joints were cut using my dedicated router table box joint jig. The miters are cut on the table saw.

Next comes sanding, fitting a bottom and assembly. I hope to make lids in the morning before a planning meeting for next year at the Clear Spring School. This technique of making a mitered box joint will be one more thing to demonstrate in next week's class.

Make, fix and create...
