Guitar Kit Box

There are many custom jigs and cauls necessary to build the Steward-MacDonald Triple 0 Guitar Kit.  After reaching the point of needing to wait for 10 to 14 days for the Tru-Oil finish on the body and neck to dry, I decided to make a large box to hold these and get the pile off the floor in the meantime.  This box is 15 by 15 high and deep and 27 inches long.  The tray is removable and will fit on the floor of the box.  The side and bottom panels are quater inch oak faced plywood in redwood frames.  The top and bottom frames are 3/4 by 1 1/2 inch pine frames with keyed mitre joints of tiger wood.  The tray is made of maple, note its symmetry.  A concession to having to decide the correct orientation of the tray.
