For the lid of the Dutch tool chest, I started by plowing 5/16” by 1/2” grooves in the breadboard ends; then, I moved to the jointed panel and used the skew rabbet plane to cut 1-1/2” tongues down to a scribed line; after a quick adjustment pass with the router plane, I ended up with a nice snug fit. You may note that the ends are thicker that the main panel; I left them as thick as I could when dimensioning so I would have some play to handle any misalignment in my joinery without having to sacrifice the thickness of the lid; I will plane them to final thickness after assembling the lid. #DutchToolChest #ToolChest #HandToolsOnly #Poplar #Woodworking
