Beautiful work. Although, I think I’m more jealous of all the fish on the wall!

Ahh…nice to see one completed! I like the extra width!

I started building this after that issue came out.

While routing the first dado for the drawer section, I measured twice and marked the wood. But when I went to move my Incra jig, I miscalulated. I should have caught it, but I didn’t double check that the marks on the wood matched to where the router bit would cut. The result? The drawer would have to be half an inch smaller. I got a little frustrated, but continued on.

Then, while cutting the door rails/stiles, a piece “slipped” on the router table. I go ahead and glue up the door, hoping the slip wouldn’t be too noticable. It was. I get more frustrated!

Of course, attempts to “fix” that QUICKLY spiraled downhill.

Lesson learned…never continue working on a project when frustrated…walk away and regroup!

Needless to say, I put it aside with the intentions of redoing the door, but never got back to it.

But seeing how great yours turned out, I will probably revisit it once this cold weather lets back up. The downside to having your shop in an unheated/uncooled garage.

Looks good. I have been considering building that project. Might widen it also like you did.

Thanks everyone for all the nice comments. My niece saw it and wants one but taller. Jim my wife really does like it, she has already gotten her jewelry switched over to it before I can get the felt for the bottom of the drawers. Tim I only have three fish on the wall, a largemouth, a rainbow, and a brown. I also have three deer mounts and an albino squirrel pink eyes and all. Oh and a turkey fan with the beard. My wife has told me if anything else goes up, I am going out.
Thanks everyone.
