I wanted to try my hand at compound-angle dove-tails; the base is poplar and the top is a portion of a pine stair tread from Home Despot. The plan is from American Woodworker, issue #153.

Neat project, looks like a good job on those dove tails. Is that miter slots in the top?

Nice work, this is on my to-do list also! Chad’s video on this is great.

I have thought about that, but what do you do with the tools when you decide to use it as a stool. I have a tool box that is supposed to double as a step stool, but it quickly became too heavy to carry around. I hope you have more success with this idea than I have ;-))

BTW, very nice job on it,

Yours is very clean and neat – nice work.

I fought compound mitered dovetails for 6 months. I had some help from a certain dancing woodworker. Very nice job.
