A little while ago I purchased a Porter-Cable Dovetail and Box Joint Jig. I really like the setup, but all of the accessories and small add-ons did not come with a good way to store them. Since I was worried that it would be easy to misplace or lose them overtime I decided to make a nice box to store them in,

I started with some pine remnants that I had left over from past projects, and since it was going to store parts for the jig, I knew that I had to use the jig to help create the box. I also dado cut some rabbit joints to inset the top and bottom of the box.

After a quick dry fit test of the box to make sure everything lined up okay, and to make sure that everything would fit together correctly.

After that it was time to separate everything apart, sand them down a bit especially the inside surfaces, and get them ready to glue together.

You can never have too many clamps.. okay maybe you can, but in this case I think I used just enough to get everything glued together at once.

After the glue dried I was time to sand off the rough edges, and to square things up a bit, and get it ready to cut the lid off.

Once the lid was cut off it was time to finish out the top and the bottom, and create cut the rest of the pieces needed to keep the lid in place and hold the components in place.

After adding the guides to the lid, It was time to finish sanding the box, and filling in any visible gaps. Not that it has to be too perfect since it is not going to be highly visible.

Once the box was done, it was math time to start creating the layout for the accessory storage, and of course some cutting and controlled drilling and a little bit of chiseling.

Then it was time to test everything and smooth out the rough edges to make sure that it would work exactly the way that I needed it too, and then I was pretty much done.

Except for adding the hardware, the handle to carry it, and of course add my brand to the box. That is always the final step in almost everything I make.
