Today I had a decent amount of shop time for a guy with two kids and an infant – a whopping four hours! I was able to put it to good use, and I made some progress on the Lego Table. So here are a couple pics:
First, here is the dovetailed frame with the center support piece. Those tenons will be double-wedged, and trimmed flush of course.
And then, after cutting the 1/2” plywood to fit, here’s an idea of how it will look:
It’s no chisel box, but I guess it’ll do. :^)

This is looking pretty good, Eric. The dovetails are a nice idea given the challenges this will face from three children.

Considering the time’s constraint and the working area’s limitation you are having, it is a good progress and a great achievement.
Keep it up Eric.

Looking good! And the chisel box looked good as well. I need to make a chisel box as the plastic sleve has gotten tattered. Maybe when I make it I will post both holders…..lol
Your doing a fine job keep up the good work, and Happy New Year!
