re: The Tea Box

Thank you people!!

Yeah, I just really wanted something simple for now. Pekovich used dovetails, but I'm not ready to invest that time yet so I went with the box joint since I have a blade for it and a miter bar jig handy. Problem was it required the box to be a bit taller, but next time I might figure something out to get it a bit smaller (it's kinda big IMO)

I will probably try his wood texturing or something along those lines next time as well.

The maple was the most work, Pekovich used a shooting board, I used the router table. Took some time to dial in the part lengths. The "V" grooves are a great thing, but as with my box trays, flat bottom dados are super simple and I can measure, adjust, and cut for precision. 

I'm a huge Pekovich fan, his designs are impeccable for tables and cabinets.
