Lesson Objectives
- How to setup the router
- How to rout a groove
- How to separate with a saw
- How to plane the lid flat
In this video, we’ll be carrying out quite possibly the scariest part of the entire project, separating the lid. This stage requires a lot of prep and is also a great time to focus on sanding and filling gaps around the box. Good luck!
Series Summary
This 15 part series will teach you the processes involved in making a beautiful toolbox; because it’s about time we made something for ourselves for once!
This course builds on the basic skills learnt in the Dovetail Box Series and the Cabinet Series by introducing more intermediate skills into the equation such as mitred dovetails, tongue and groove joints, and separating a lid after glue-up. You’ll also begin learning how to use routers and router tables in a safe and effective manner.
What’s more, this design is incredibly easy to adapt to different scales to suit different applications.
