Doggies!  It really is a great box. Virtually every example out thereuses the sliding lid approach, so the hinge action really sets it apart.

My current workshop is the basement of a house with tight, probably-no-longer-code stair access that already makes getting wood down there kind of annoying. Anything of substantial weight/dimensions I might build down there is going to be staying there, unless I can break it down if/when we someday move. Fine woodworking just featured a knockdown bench in a recent issue http://www.finewoodworking.com/2016/11/02/a-small-sturdy-workbench all mortise and tenon. Cool looking and goes together in a neat way.

I choose to believe the wax seal is meant to evoke the blood splatter from when you drive a chisel into that flap of skin by your thumb while making your mortise and tenon.

Hubis posted:In the interests of not restarting a holy war, I will evaluate this as well. I made my Roubo bench knockdown, as well. I didn't glue the dovetailed double tenons into the top, or the long stretchers into the legs, and I left the drawbore pegs proud of the inside surface of the legs. When I moved into this rental, I just flipped the whole thing upside down, lifted up on the base, and gave the top a few sharp raps with a big mallet. I left the base in one piece, but I could have taken it down further into the two end assemblies, the stretchers, and the shelf boards if need be. It doesn't rack at all, but the top is 4" thick, the legs are 4x6, and the stretchers are 2x6, all oak. Of course it's all dependent on having just the right fit in the dovetails. Any tighter and it wouldn't come apart, any looser and it would wobble.

It's not so much the price as the fact that it is very light and will wrack when you try to plane anything unless you brace the end of the bench against a wall. When looking at any bench I think there are two main questions to ask: 1. If I'm planing a piece of wood will I be able to move/deform the bench? If yes then you may want to look into something heavier/sturdier. 2. If I had a cabinet door that was 18"x32"x1" how would I set up my work holding on this bench so that I could easily plane each of the six sides of the door? Not all at once obviously, but how could you fasten this thing to the bench to be able to plane edges and faces on a door that size.

It is total poo poo for planing - I have to stand on a lower stretcher to stop it flipping end for end. Once my new bench is complete it's going to become a sharpening station

GEMorris posted:... will wrack when you try to plane Racking in this sense is a twisting or folding of a table. Racking is resisted by aprons or stretchers typically, whose strength comes from shoulders and firmness of their attachment. The wider apart the shoulders the more they resist racking force. Even though it's a small bench and will probably scoot around those tall stretchers will stop it from folding. Also I posted it as a joke.

wormil posted:It was joke. I do know what racking is, I grouped it along with bench mass because while one doesn't directly lead to the other, they both affect the general "sturdiness" of the bench. I also think that bench will become a rhombus under the strain of planing due to weak joinery between the legs and the top. I also thought it might be a joke, but I used it to point out some basic questions anyone should ask when analyzing the quality of a bench. Shrug?

As you may recall: I am a scummy armature working in sub-par conditions... My supplier provided some quality made to order piece parts, and now that they have acclimated at my place for a month, the dimensions changed subtly. I'm working with just hand tools and am prepared to just say gently caress it and proceed with my project referencing from the critical joint locations and saying bugger all to the external faces. Should I actually take the time to possibly destroy my pieces by re-squaring them?

I am also a filthy casual here, but one thing I have personally had to work to realize is... wormil posted:In the old days they used to call that Woodworking. Woodworking is not Machining. It doesn't necessarily matter if what you build ends up matching your plans, so long as it is self-consistent. Or to put it another way, you need Precision, not Accuracy. Trying to work accurately from a plan, no matter how careful, has led me into problems countless times. On the other hand, just kind of winging the absolutes of the design while paying close attention to actual measurements/relative positioning of the various pieces has never really failed or been noticable. Not sure if that's what you're getting at here, but thats my $0.02.

Dowels into the sides, most likely. Assemble bottom, front, back and one side, fit top into the one side, line up everything, attach other side.

I'm a total newbie to woodworking and, well, things - my grand total list of projects thus far are hanging shelves, building a wood+pipe pullup bar (that was a complete disaster, I'll have to take pictures to explain what a colossal pile of nonsense that was) and, probably my best slash least lovely project, a bed that I built so my fiance and I would no longer sleep on a mattress on the floor in our bedroom. That said, as far as thread etiquette goes, is it cool if I post pictures of my babby's first woodworking projects and ask a million questions for improvement and advice and stuff? I'm guessing the answer is 'yes' because in my experience hobbyists of all stripes love bringing newbies into the fold, but thought it best to check first instead of potentially being an rear end in a top hat. Also mds2 your winebox is absolutely gorgeous!! So is the urn you posted. Hubis posted:Is there any way to build a "proper" workbench that I could disassemble if needed (rather than gluing all the joints)?

Anything of substantial weight/dimensions I might build down there is going to be staying there, unless I can break it down if/when we someday move. Something I'm trying on my next project (a little table for behind my sofa that amounts to a 2x6 with legs on it) is using hanger bolts and threaded nut inserts so I can tear the legs off when I move out of my current place. I'm not sure how sturdy it'll be (ie if it will even be sturdy enough for a narrow table, let alone a workbench) but it seems like it should work, given that I'm putting a ~1.5" machine screw socket into the 2x6 and the hanger bolt a good two inches into the leg.
