Dear Fellow Woodworkers,

I have decided that the next project that I would to undertake is a wooden briefcase for taking to work. I was encouraged by the briefcase that was posted in the Fine Woodworking gallery. Does anyone have any plans? Personally, I would like to use all wood except for the hardware and interior. What are the joinery options? What species of wood would be less weight? I would really enjoy any creative ideas. I would appreciate any help.

Joe
