Jobsworth recently posted a couple of his projects, and one of them was a breadbox and towel dispenser.  I loved the idea, and my wife was using a horrible, cheap breadbox, so I built one similar to Jobsworth's.

This was an opportunity to use the Festool "System", and I used a lot of tools I have purchased over the last two years for the first time. Learning curve, but success in the end thanks to YouTube videos from Rick, Paul-Marcel, Peter, and others.

Top shelf is Baltic Birch, and the rest is all from one board of quality pine. Stained with Watco Black Walnut Danish Oil.  Once completely dry and cured, I'll probably do something to give it some gloss... poly or wax. Shelves are Domino'd.

Festools used:
Kapex
OF 1010
OF 1400
PSC 420
TS55 on MFT/3 Rail
CXS
PDC w/ ZOBO Forstner Bit
RO90 and Granat
DF 500 Domino 5mm and 6mm
Festool MFT clamps
CT Mini

No non-Festool power tools used! [wink]

Cheers,
Frank

Nice Frank. I like the way you raised the bottem shelf. I'm going to start making them that way. Pretty cool

How come it's not Sweet Pea green, Frank???  [poke]

[big grin]

That particular color, when showing up anywhere around my house often draws the "LOOK"!  [mad]

Nonetheless.... my wife is starting to learn that the "green" stuff she sees in great volume is actually used to produce things she wants!  [smile]

My airplane is a different story! [sad]

Cheers,

Frank
 
Frank, That is a nice job.
I was especially struck by the list of tools you used.  I now understand how my workbench becomes soooo cluttered up with toys even when doing the smallest job.

Frank,

Yer killing me, I jus saw Zobo bits on your list.

I'm on the rattler heading home from London reading this,

and everyone stared when I slapped my fore head said said @&@## why didn't I think of that,

Live and learn.....
 
Frank, are you saying that even your airplane is Fetool Green?  :o

I want this plane to morph from a sale into a 36' Blackfin Convertible Sportfishing Boat. Any takers?? [big grin] [tongue]

Cheers,
Frank
