Hi Darryl. Many thanks for your warm welcome! I shall certainly post some images of my CBGs. Like everyone else I name my CBGs so bear with me. I'm just finding my way around the web page at the moment so it won't be too long to wait.

Best wishes ... Ian

Thanks for your suggestions for making a box.

For power tools, I have two sanders, a circular saw, and a drill. On my first build I used hand saws. I do have a couple of chisels.

I looked up finger joints and that seems doable, practicing on some old wood. I should probably get the minimum kind of power saw.

Thanks!

Jo
