I am really spoiled! These Veritas 4-Way Speed Clamps make it really easy to glue up the mitered tray for the #JapaneseToolbox. #MiteredBox #WhitePine #Pine #HandToolsOnly #Woodworking
I have added Walnut keys to the mitered corners of the #JapaneseToolbox. I cut the kerfs with a tenon saw and widened them with a piece of sandpaper glued to a ruler and then with a small file. Some of this did not go as well as I had hoped and I ended up mixing some Pine saw dust with hide glue to fill in a few gaps; we’ll see how that turns out after I apply the finish. For the keys, I started from a small 1/8”-thick piece I had and planed it thinner on my friction board, then I scored it with a marking gauge and snapped it into narrow strips that I finally cut into trapezoids using my miter hook. I am really appreciating the help of all the workbench appliances I took the time to build. #MiteredBox #WhitePine #Pine #Walnut #HandToolsOnly #Woodworking
