Thanks, the joints are super tight, maybe too tight. Thankfully basswood is forgiving and compressible. I'm still working on the perfect setup for the Incra ibox.
This week I made a store display shelf for a lady that makes handmade soaps. And a drawer organizer for my girlfriend's aunt. http://imgur.com/a/8mKEg
Next in the pipeline is some bookshelves for a middle school classroom, a wall mount skateboard rack and some other little stuff, probably more small boxes.
My only suggestion is to rabbet the inside of the box at the top, and do a matching rabbet (parity-wise) on the underside of the lid so that is locks in place. Looks well made in general.
Yeah, the piece I glued to the inside made a pretend rabbet, and it doesn't really match. I did the rabbet for the bottom, and once I did the edge profile for the top, they kinda matched in thickness. If I were to build the same box again, I'll use a slightly thicker piece on for the lid.

Great work with the joinery, I don't see any gaps at all.
What's next for you?
