I’m honored to have been featured in a great blog article by the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership about passion and craft in Fort Wayne. It’s part of an ongoing series of how people in Northeast Indiana are contributing to the growth and expansion of the area in economic, cultural, and other ways.
Dovetailed Boxes for Level Storage
/I was fortunate enough to get an additional commission for custom tool boxes, this time a set of dovetailed boxes to hold some supper high end Starrett levels with precision that I can’t even fathom.
I went with figured ash for the long sides and walnut for the ends, and used some purple heart given to me by the client for the smaller boxes top and bottom panels.
All of the dovetails were hand cut and hand chiseled, and it was a real pleasure, and challenge to make these boxes. Details like the dovetails always have to have your full attention, as any mistakes are out in the open.
