I made a copy of a Japanese toolbox, from scrap pine and oak
the outside dimensions are 8"x9"x4"
i used glue and very small dowels to hold it all together.
where the lock is attached to the lid, 6 - 5/8" brad nails and glue secure this structure
the box was sanded to 180 grit and the pine was finished with Minwax Provincial stain.
the oak lock, key, and batten was sanded to 180 grit, finished with boiled linseed oil.
attached are pictures of the finished product!
an error in glue up produced a small (unwanted) gap between the batten and the stop of the lid
i'll live with the imperfection.
shot in a different light!
i'm looking forward to making more of these boxes!
as always thanks for looking!
