Beautiful and functional. Well done. That hand tool school looks good. Must have a look myself.

I make everything I can that I need but every once in a while I just want to say “make me one just like that”. This qualifies. Really nice job.

Looks great Tim. I thought you said you were having trouble with dovetails?? Where!? I eventually pulled the blade keeper board out of my til, it got annoying every time I pulled out a saw and put it back having to line up the blade and kerf.

Shannon:

No problems with the dovetails per se, but I wish I’d made the tails on that front rail above the drawer smaller … the wedging action from those things was tremendous … don’t ask me how I know ;)

Cheers,
Tim
