@sulco nice! I feel like I always ruin things when it comes to the finish, but these look great.

@grumpydad Thanks! Oh, I know that feeling – I always get a mild panic about the finish. Recently though, when a project doesn't require a lot of protection, I go simple and just use wax. (Additional benefit: done in 30 mins! I'm so impatient when it comes to these last miles of the jobs)

@allanwolfe Haha, I wish! This one really was surprisingly streamlined though, and I think I wrapped it up in about 5-6 hours.

@sulco I've never used wax, can you recommend something I can try? I'm also curious how you joined the sides etc? Just glue or dowels or something else?

I can't remember the exact wax I'm using, but I'll check it next weekend when I'm back in the shop. As for the joinery, the glued miter will hold well, assuming the miter is precise enough and you hold it tight for the glueup. I recommend having a couple of band clamps on hand (I've been using 2 per each box), like this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Stanley-ST083100-Band-Clamp-Yellow-Black/dp/B001DZVNE8
