I have decided that it will add to a well worn look of a traveling chest. <br /><br />The airline didn't accept my complaint because I hadn't telephoned it in.. <br />So no compensation for the regular bag for my part.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting<br /><br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-64163612695799574292016-05-15T19:08:19.010-07:002016-05-15T19:08:19.010-07:00So you managed to get all the glue mess sorted?

Normally my eyes would be drawn to some odd small fault, but there isn't really any of those on the outside of the chest.<br /><br />I have once in a while considered making a copy of it just for the fun of it. <br /><br />Brgds<br />Jonas<br />Jonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-65142996694046936002016-05-05T10:26:19.777-07:002016-05-05T10:26:19.777-07:00This has been one of my favorite projects of yours...This has been one of my favorite projects of yours. I can't imagine you could improve upon it much for what you are asking it to do. <br />When I was a field electrician I always carried my hand tools in open totes, and that is how I would likely carry my woodworking tools if I had to travel with them. In your case, however, you need a lid etc as you are often checking it in as baggage. <br />So if my opinion means anything, I think that you did a great job!<br />BillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-88204468046886420122016-05-04T02:43:05.220-07:002016-05-04T02:43:05.220-07:00Hi Ken

I forgot to...Hi Ken<br /><br />Glad you could use the report.<br />I forgot to say that my projects are usually smaller ones. So if you plan on traveling and building log cabins or chippendale highboys, you might need to adjust the size a bit.<br /><br />My first attempt was more flattish, and thinner in the material, but it didn't hold up to the knocks it received while in transit. <br /><br />If I had the ability to upgrade a bit, I think I would change the plane to a jack plane. But I would still keep the system with two different irons. It is just that for jointing boards the smoothing plane is a bit on the short side.<br /><br />Have fun traveling and woodworking.<br /><br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-68879038203442310672016-05-04T01:00:21.037-07:002016-05-04T01:00:21.037-07:00Jonas,

A second one is coming sized somewhere between yours and the one I just finished. My guess it will require changing planed projects as well.<br /><br />Thanks for the report,<br /><br />kenI'm a OK guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11843155822153452980noreply@blogger.com
