Welcome John.
Looking forward to seeing your work and learn from it.

This is a picture of my tool box. Also handy as a resume!

Walnut with maple lined sunburst dovetails on clamshell top. Baltic birch with maple tool caddy (6 drawers) fits inside the well.

Toolbox in closed position, ready to go to work.

beautiful work.
I like the inlaid joinery.

Thank you! It’s actually not inlaid, but fully doubled. Cut the walnut tails, make maple pin board, glue together and cut the tails again in the maple. Then it’s ‘let in’ into the curved walnut tops.
The maple goes all the way through the joint.. Very time consuming to cut it all twice.

I was sure such is nice piece have double dovetails but could not remember the proper term:).
I have been fascinated by double dovetails since I saw a blog about it.
My only attempt was a total failure as I was a complete beginner then, I still consider myself a beginner.

Looking forward to see your work.

Thanks!
