I want to start making a variety of simple boxes for sale at craft fairs. These are intended for simple utilitarian uses such as a remote caddy, tea box etc. The idea is to construct with simple mitered corners, ply bottom glued into a slot.Some will have loose lids and some none. Construction should be fairly quick but finishing is always a pain, primarily the inside. I was wondering what might make the process as efficient as possible. All surfaces would be finished sanded before glue up but I did wonder if I could do the bulk of the finish before they are glued up leaving only maybe a final coat.
Has anybody tried doing something similar, maybe even finishing the boards before you make the miter cuts and slots?
Thought?
