Clay, I got the wood at the Raleigh Woodcraft (hanging head in slight shame  ). Curly maple is so hard to plane and joint, starting off with almost S3S lumber made everything easier. It came as 13/16" and I was able to clean up the planner marks with the drum sander. Luckly I found some pretty straight stock to work with. Wait until you see the quilted maple veneer I got, it's sweet and layed up flat as the day is long.
I didn't get as far as I hoped tonight, so no good pics to show. Hand chopping the corners on rabbets without buggering the edges take more time than I thought

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

So, did you sand it down to 3/4", or is it thicker? | |

Sanded down to 3/4", so it was all uniform, just a slight 1/32" per side.

Nice one Dave - is that a lift up lid on the top?

Dave, how did you join your sides to the base? Looking at the photo I can't tell.

DL, I haven't yet, but I will just screw through the botton with some #8 x 1 1/2" wood screws. They will be the only metal in the project. Dave

OK, thanks. I look forward seeing more photos as you progress through the project. I think I found the box you were talking about in Doug Stowe's book that gave you the inspiration for this one. Great job.
