Taylor's Bandsaw Box
I've been wanting to build a bandsaw box for quite a while.
My niece Taylor's birthday was coming up, so I
decided that would be a good time to try and build
one. By the time I started on it, I had less than
a week to complete it.

|
| The
blank was created by gluing up five pieces of 4/4
walnut. |
 |
| I
used spray adhesive to attach the template to the
front. I cut the back off the box, then cut the drawers
out. |
 |
| The
next step is to cut the fronts and backs off the
drawers. After that, I cut the drawer cavities out.
When that was completed, I glued the backs and fronts
on the drawers and the back on the box. |
 |
| After
about 2.5 hours of sanding, I attached the drawer
pulls. I wiped down the entire box with mineral spirits
and blew it down with compressed air to remove all
the dust. |
 |
| Since
I didn't have time for a fancy finish, I just used
some Watco danish oil. But, with air-dried walnut,
it's tough to go wrong with that. |
 |
| The
drawers were lined with some self-adhesive felt.
I wanted to apply some paste wax to add some shine
before giving it to her, but I didn't think the Watco
was cured enough to do that. |
