final cleaned up saw with de rusted blades that’s kinda polished and a sanded and oiled handle
Saw is now partly sanded and cleaned of rust for the most part on one side but more cleaning to go.
Old saw that I’m currently rly removing the rust off. It was fully brown with rust a little while ago so going faster than i expected.

Dry fit with today with me working on connecting both sides together. It’s feeling solid but still just the smallest bit of movement. It is clamped so not fully finished but going to do more with the middle shelf to help brace and help hold it together

Next scrap wood tool box with me putting time into learning the box comb joint. I had a chunk of damaged wood on one side so I chose to make it a fracture and the box is now asymmetrical and bit more interesting.

Dry fit of my first box comb joint box
Wooden box comb joints both closed and open.
What was my test box comb joint build broken down and cut and worked to be more even set of boards.
A simple wooden box using box comb joints to connect the sides. The wood is salvaged from a pallet so not the best in terms of even or flatness but good for learning with. The router jumped on my first try as it was new to me so hopefully next attempt I can keep better cuts.
