Whatever epithet people may use to describe you Colin, 'novice' isn't it!
By no stretch of the imagination can the mahogany comb-jointed, French polished box, the brass nameplate with its hand-cut lettering, and the coil winding gears that you designed and made, which the box contains within, be described as the work of a 'novice'. And no - you're not hi-jacking the thread - you're adding to it Colin. Hopefully the pics might encourage others to have a go. Once the jig is made and set up, it's surprising how quick it is with practice to make nice box from offcuts.
As to dovetails, I think you've set youself a challenge!
