Shoeshine Box

[musicman1951]

I needed a pandemic project for these long days at home. I had a poplar board left over from my walnut music cabinet (shelves) and decided to make a shoeshine box. I did more of it with hand tools than I usually do, which was a good education as to how much easier some things are with power tools.

I didn't really need a box with through tenons and dovetailed drawers for the back of my closet, but it really helped to fill some hours.

Very nice thanks for sharing. Impressive dove tails there too! Looks really tight. The finish looks great.

Very nice! I like the wingtip shoe stand. I bet you could get a gig with Kirby Allison for high end bespoke shoe tackle boxes. The standard options are pretty limited. That’s better than the Gerstner of shoe boxes.

Nicely done, clean looking joints.

Very nice job on the shoe shine box. The dovetails on the drawers are perfect perfect.

Great job. I would have very little idea on how to even attempt dovetail joints. Thanks for sharing this project with us.
