Alex an amazing creation.

I hae to say thanks to all the fellows who asked just the right questions and to you for the detailed replies.

Ian, the slots for the slipfeathers were cut on the table saw using a jig I made to hold the box in the right position, with a 1.8mm blade. The feathers are cut from a strip of offcut, sanded to thickness on the drum sander.

Hi Alex,

What are the dimensions of this box? In particular, how much space is under the lift-out tray? I'm looking at making a similar box, and think you've got the dimensions spot-on.

Cheers,

Hi Alex,

What a lovely box..

I was wondering how you got the white edges around the top of the lid? Cheers

Thanks folks.
The overall dimensions are about 250 x 200 x 75. The space under the tray is about 25mm.
The edge stringing is done after the box is assembled, by routing out a rebate along the edges, and gluing in a thin strip of silver ash.
