The Toy Box

Yesterday I started building a toy box for my son Quinn.  I initially went in to work on a project I've been working on for a while but when I've been away from the studio for a while I like to work on something that is less difficult and more fun too make.  It's like a stretch before the run, you get the kinks out'

I like to use leftover material or pieces in the scrap bin.  For this project I used Tongue and groove pine bead board.  I like to use materials that were intended for a different use.  On some of the boards I cut off the tongues and on other I cut off the grooves.  I had to cut tenons on the boards and grooves to match the existing grooves on the pine The panels are from cut offs of bead board sheets that were around the studio. The top and bottom will be of plywood that will have a solid wood edge around it. The bottom feet will have a slight curve cut out of them. I might paint the box.
