Students are currently working through the following work-flow steps for their box.
These directions (like the work instructions for the five minute dovetail) should be in student notebooks). Add details and insights to these are you learn new lessons and refinements to procedures.
1) Mark boards for 1/3: only need one board; may use different dimenstions
2) Mark depth of fingers: use a shim to create "proud" fingers. Use the marking knife bevel down: be gentle!!!
3) Mark ALL faces of tenon boards with an S
4) Cut joints at the bandsaw; use shim on the tenon board.
5) Mark all the bits that get removed with Xs on ALL faces
6) Make a knife wall. Pay attention to keep the flat base of the chisel towards the wood to be kept when chiseling (it's the other way around when paring).
7) Remove waste with a saw being super careful NOT to cut the knife wall. (Leave some waste to be removed by the chisel.)
8) Use chisels to get exactly to the knife wall (or slightly undercut inside the knife walls).
