So, this post is not about getting advice. I know what my stupid mistake is.
But here are a few pictures of an almost nice project and how I screwed it up. Any consolation is welcome
The task was to take up Bob Eustaches' idea of making "invisible" wood hinges with glued-in dowels, but machining the whole hinge out of solid wood. The outcome would be a kind of pill box from Myrtlewood with several compartments. To make it pretty, the lid was to be adorned with a Cherry inlay.
So, this is the blank for the lid with inlay. Not perfect with a few chipped out inlay spots but acceptable.
Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of the bottom and top with the hinges before assembly but this is the drill jig that I made to get the holes aligned.
This is the bottom of the pill box with the drill jig and drill still in place. For the photo I removed the clamps that held the jig in place.
More pictures of my sad story to come......
