Garage Sale Find
« on: April 05, 2014, 06:55:54 pm »
I don't have a table saw, but want to build my own boxes, top and bottom boards. I makes it a little difficult to make the cuts with a circular hand saw and a chalk line. I wanted to show what I found at a garage sale today. I won't help me with the deeps, but it will with supers.





I was able to negotiate down on the price a little.  Has anyone else used something like this. I will help me make those nice strong joints for the boxes. I haven't a clue how to use it yet but am looking forward to it.

Half-blind dovetails make great boxes.
