I have been putting off the next step in this long-running experimental archaeology project more because I wanted to work on it at a particular event than because of my normal level of procrastination. I planed down the 1by lumber months ago, then I cut and assembled the chest at Aethelmearc War Practice<\/strong>. I started this project working on the Mark Zero “proof of concept” chest at War Practice back in 2018 or 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, this is the fourth try at making a tool chest that looks like one you can see in the Kasuga Gongen Engi-e<\/em><\/a>. This emaki<\/em> illustrated scroll is from the 14th century and shows scenes from the history of a Kasuga<\/em> shrine, including the shrine’s construction.<\/p>\n\n\n

To better match the size and look of the Kasuga<\/em> chest, I started with 1×6 lumber instead of the 1×8 I used on the Mark 2<\/a>. It’s only about 39 inches long instead of the fifty-something inches of the Mark 2. I also used the thicker battens like I discussed, which I think worked out well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is what the four chests look like laid out in a row:<\/p>\n\n\n

I think I really have the look now. The size an proportions may not be exactly<\/em> right, but it’s pretty much there. I’ll maybe work on a few tweaks at some point in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n

It’s long enough that I can get some of my longer saws in there, just deep enough that things don’t get buried under several layers, and still wide enough that some of my organizer<\/a> tills<\/a> fit in there sideways to keep things from sliding around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
