In this video we turn 5 panels into a blanket chest! I start off by cutting the grooves for the bottom panel, pre-finish and wax the inside of the case and finally glue the blanket chest together!

Topics covered in this video

- Cutting stopped groove with a plunge router and edge guide
- Cut the bottom panel to size
- Pre-finish the inside of the case by brushing on 3 coats of shellac
- Smooth out the final coat of shellac with wax and #0000 steel wool
- Glue up the dovetailed case

Nice work Sean! Man, that wood came to life when you applied the finish! This chest is looking great!

Yeah I was really happy with the way this Mahogany looks with a finish on it! Thanks man, I appreciate it!
