Hello Freecad Forum,
Some time ago I made a small wooden box with dovetails. Thought I would share... Happy to get comments on how one could improve on the design.
The box is made of ash and oak wood, with a plexiglass top and a red linoleum "floor". The Freecad drawing shows - as can be seen - the box in exploded view.
The box is handmade with dovetails made with handsaw and chisels. I am not totally satisfied with the result especially the dovetails (still learning...- therefore I am thinking of investing in a so called Woodrat, which is a kind of router rig, that can make perfect dovetails, among other things.
In fact, I made the Freecad drawing after I made the box in real life... but I am happy that I made the Freecad drawing in case I will make the box again in real life (possibly using the Woodrat routing jig)
Kindly, KFMadsen
PS. As I recall the dimensions are aprox. 25 cm x 15 cm rectangle and with a height around 6-7 cm (don't have the physical box where I am situated therefore the approximated numbers)

Looks great !
Re: Wooden box with dovetails
Great to see a nice woodworking project made in freecad. Did you make it in part design or part workbench?
Re: Wooden box with dovetails
Nice, are you going to share the FreeCAD file too? What did you apply to the wood to protect it?
Regards / Viele Grüße
