It Starts with a Box. Our 5-day course comes to a close and with that we have a new box for a guitar amp, a mitered keepsake box with acrylic lid, and finally a stylish walnut trough for house plants. A great week with some beautiful projects! All made completely by hand, from design to dimensioning the lumber, to joinery and onto the finish.

Cabinet door hung using a set of “hidden hinge pins”. They worked really well and I can definitely see using them again for small cabinet door and box lid applications. Next up a final go around and then we’ll begin the pre-finish and glue up. From there a few drawer boxes and some final details. Stay tuned! #theunpluggedwoodshop #anunpluggedlife #unpluggedwoodworking #cabinetmaking #jewelrycabinet #handtoolsonly #designermaker #torontomakers #whatsonyourbench #torontounplugged #torontocabinetmakers #leslieville #gerrardstreeteast #gerrones #unplugged (at The Unplugged Woodshop) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVSZbAqgW4N/?utm_medium=tumblr
