Thanks for asking. They are common bar clamps holding the boxes body to a homemade square. Using the squares keeps everything a true 90 degrees
Building boxes?

Oh, you're clamping the boxes down to the 90 degree thingies? Like a jig? Couldn't see what was going on really, but now that I do, nice move man!
Looked like f clamp mutazoids from the deep.
I don't normally don't build boxes for my stones as they stay on the matts and get used but I couldn't in good conscience ever put this Coticle back in its ragged paper "home"
Original box,
I had a piece of 4"thick Spanish Cedar from about 12 years ago about a foot long, so..

That’s nice, beautiful wood. The two-tone end and the label inside the top lid is a very nice touch
Thank you.
Ok, How about something like this?
What's going on here,
What's that?,
Maybe inlaid?
We'll see.
I made boxes for a couple of razors and decided no more. Just space and numbers issue. I did one with a compass point inlay I’ll try to find that you reminded me of. Actually bought the box somewhere as it was perfect size/shape and like most, cheaper than I can make it for. But then I did the inlay and some leafing. You have a fine start there! Good for a select razor of course
It would be for the top of a stone box like the one above.
An interim solution. A few rubber blocks keep the stone from sliding around. The cedar cigar box breathes and stacks nicely.

Oh its goin' to happen..

Parts for a new box. I will keep the one with the inlay as both stones are the same size,

Made a huge mistake on the last box, working to fast and not having a clear mind almost cost me haha!
It was a box for one of my stones so i just kept it instead of ripping new material.
Table saw kickback

I purchased them many years ago. They are very expensive now.
They are exceptionally well made and perform like what you would expect.
Nice boxes and paddle strop!
Kickbacks are super dangerous, If possible, install even a tiny splitter/riving knife.
I normally discard all the splitters and shrouds from saws but keep the splitter and cut in down so it protrudes about 3/8 past the table. This way it doesn't get in the way, can stay for near all dadoing,and most important makes kickbacks near impossible.
I'll take a photo later when I'm in the shop.
Yeah that little Bosh job site saw has a riving knife i just didn't have it up. My other saw has a tablesaw sled and i was going to build one for the Bosh but it has a weak bearing from ripping 6x6 and 3x12 bridge plank and i hate to build a sled for a saw that might last another month. I have not been real impressed with the Bosh, nice and portable but not really made for heavy use for anything over 3/4 stock.
