Hand Tool Woodworking.
In this project I build a wooden box with metered corners and splines using only hand tools.
This project is part of a series I'm publishing with the aim on showing that it is possible to build a range of nice projects using only the most basic of tools.
The best way to improve at woodworking is by doing it, but often the interesting projects seem to require access to expensive machine tools or specialist tools and this can seem like a barrier to getting started for those new to woodworking.
The project video was starting to get a bit long so I have split it into two. This first part deals with the construction of the box frame and lid.
Part 2 shows the completion of the project including, fitting the base, adding the corner splines, cutting the lid free and applying the finish.

This project makes use of the miter jig I built in this project video:
