Making a Large Pine Dovetail Box

This box was originally going to be to hold the Porter Cable dovetail jig, and then I went and bought another one, and extra templates, so yeah, it doesn’t all fit there anymore. Not sure what I’ll do with it, maybe sell it, not sure yet. Currently holding several restored hand planes. I think I’ll just post the images and tag them with information.
