Lesson Objectives
- New method of edge jointing timber
- How to produce a spring joint
- How to diagnose and fix problems
- How to create an invisible joint
In this video, I’ll show you how to edge joint the solid wood panels that make up the sides of the box. This is a third technique that differs from the two I have taught in the past, and is definitely my go-to!
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.
