Sir I have posted pics the last two years and have done some spoon spatula sets. Walnut is cool but I have used maple, zebra wood is awesome, but apple wood would be my wifes favorite. They were popular enough I've had to make a ton of them and have patterns at this point. A visual would give you so...

Thanks for the help all. I used the blue tape as my initial wrap and then went over it with clear packing tape to pull in the corners tighter. I think I did well with my miters, the boxes were 6 inches or so tall, so a good 45 was necessary. I used a Wixey digital protractor for set up and they came...

I suggested you consider hot hide glue and referred you to a couple of my blogs on the subject. I started using it a couple of yea...

Beveling

I aslo thought maybe beveling the tops would look nice, should I do that before glue up and do each piece or wait until its glued up (tear out a problem maybe)?

Taping up small mitered boxes

Good evening all. I'm ready to glue up a few boxes (aprox 7x5x6 high). They have miter cut corners and I intend on splining them afterwards. However what type of tape would you all suggest for glue up and do you just tape it up dry and then unfold it-glue-and wrap it back up? What about rubber bands...

Thankyou for the input.

I will take progress pics starting this weekend.

No Ed, the 1/4 ply or whatever I put on the walls is for looks only, I will keep track of where the studs are for hanging purposes. I just wanted a "woodshop" look without spending a ton.
