I finally got my computer back, but its in the process of being restored, so posts and pictures on alternate computers for a bit longer.
Quadrant Hinge Layout
Drilling out the waste for the hinges on the drill press.
Trimiming the internals for the perfect fit with my hand tools.
Fitting the dividers into small dados to make the compartments.
I decided on a sanded in Danish oil finish (thanks for the suggestion Tico).
Looks beautiful. Did you design this yourself or get it based off something? I like the scale and think it’s a good way to practice handcut dovetails and still end up with a usable project at the end.
Thanks so much. Yes, I designed it although not that much thinking went in to it. Just how many dovetails and deciding to miter the end ones and where to cut the lid off. 🙂
