I Made a Box

I decided a few weeks ago that I wanted to start doing some woodworking.  Now what I want to eventually get to would be called cabinet making - making small pieces of furniture.  I have a lot of carpentry tools but not too many "fine" woodworking tools.  So I bought a table saw, and I've bought a few planes off ebay and I'm making do with the other stuff I have for now.  I've been playing around a bit particularly wanting to learn to make hand made dovetail joints.  So here is my first box (with no bottom or top).  The joints are not very good but its a first time and it will get better.  It really is a lot of fun -
