Collet Box

Early on in COVID I built a table saw sled to cut box joints. After making a couple of simple boxes, it was time to make one to store my 3C collet set. This was the first one with an actual lid.

Beautiful! I need to get to work and make some stuff like that for my shop too. Almost certainly won't look as good as that though.
 
Walnut, right? Next we need to get you on to hand-cut dovetails!

(Who hasn't hand-cut a dovetail in far too many years.)
 
Walnut?????? is that a stainless alloy? LOL
I did something similar for my small dies and handle only I cheaped out and used oak and cherry with a slide lid.

Ok I get jealous of most everyone's awesome metal working skills on this forum but now you have to top it off with awesome WOOD working abilities too!?
Nice job.
 
@YotaBota nice job. I’ll have to try a sliding lid. Now that I know how to make boxes, I’m like the guy with a hammer so everything looks like a nail; for me everything needs a box. LOL
I have a lifetime supply of walnut cutoffs so everything needs to be walnut.

@DPittman the trick is to show off your wood stuff on a metal forum and your metal stuff on a wood forum. That way their less likely to notice your goof ups.
 
I made something similar at Christmas for my wife's fine cutlery. Made it out of old barn boards, but my wife doesn't seem to like it and won't use it. Maybe I should transition it to hold lathe tools. LOL.
