For those who came late. I was given access to pallet framing from In Glass at Morningside back in 2022 It was this timber I used to make the Toy Box. The usual grading Jointing thicknessing and sizing took place. Resulting in enough material to start work. The material you see here is various lengths about 500 mm x 90 mm x19 mm In preparation I rechecked the dimensions with No 4 son and in doing so he increased the size to over 650 mm. This meant I needed to re mill more material and ended up with pieces 700mm x 65 mm x19mm. These I used for the Stiles
the basic concept
the stiles were 65 mm wide x 650 the Rails and mullions 90 mm wide by various lenghts I used a rail and stile Router bit set in my Moulder shaper. set to work and produced all the components.
did a dry fit up to ensure everything was going to work as expected once that aspect was confirmed a few sketchup notes were produced
and page 2 There is a cut out in the back bottom of the box to allow it to fit over a step in the room it will be used Back view Sides
Front view The bottom was MDF There is no 2 mm relief as usually seen on Rail and stile construction to remove any sharp edges for small fingers. The internals were all finished with the beading cut off the sides at 45 Deg using Spear Point joints where the apexes were 3 parts at 45 deg. The lettering The names were made using The Milescraft Sign Pro and dyed timbermate using Queen Natural colour dye. Symmetrics and balancing You may have noticed that the panels were not evenly balanced or symmetrical this was done purposely as I was using scrap pieces of Masonite and added various Mullions and Rails to suit.
