Weekend at the Farm

Spent the weekend cooking and baking at the farm.

How to Make a Tea Box

Our T-House (temporary farm house until main house is complete) means hot tea for my wife. I decided to make a gift for her. Here is me making a tea box. I used the box joint jig i built earlier.

I used oak for the internal parts and the outer box is made out of walnut. Heavily inspired by the Dovetailed Tea Box Plan of Michael Pekovich: https://www.finewoodworking.com/2018/05/16/dovetailed-tea-box-plan

Making a Box Joint Jig

My dado blade arrived finally. I built a jig to make perfect box joints. I used plywood. As you can see, i built the template separately out of MDF to be able to adjust it.
