Thanks Don! I’m a real noob at woodworking. I tried my best to keep it simple with my limited experience and tools available to me. Thanks for your encouragement.

You did a real nice job !
It does not look like a first project it all .
Now don’t spend all your time sitting a the desk cruising LJ and get in the shop building things
that we can compliment on !
If you need help just e mail !
Thanks
Kiefer

Thanks Mr. Kiefer. I will be emailing you soon about some jigs I saw on your page. You have some amazing work! WorkerinWood…We share a military background. I decided to start woodworking for two major reasons: 1. Can’t afford much furniture during these hard times and 2. Needed a hobby during my shore duty. My next project will be something in Mahogany since I picked up a few board feet from a friend’s dad. They say it’s South American but what do I know other than it looks great! Haa..ha. Mr. Miles, you’re absolutely correct! I am so tempted to make another for my lil stepdaughter. It’ll keep her “collections” in one place. Thanks all. I really appreciate feeling part of the sawdust making family! -Paul

I agree with the others; does not look like a first project to me. Very nice work.

@Rose -Aw thanks Mrs. Rose…It actually was and I keep finding areas of improvement daily. I want to eventually get my hands on a router or some cheap chisels and create a dado along the sides of the draw. This will enable me to place a bearing slide inside and allow them to slide freely. Until then, they are just held in place by a u-shaped cradle underneath. Thanks for the kind words. Now, I must scour your page for some good ideas and advice… :)

So this is where you sit and play on the internet. Looks good Paul, I hope to see that new to you saw whipping out more of these projects.
Great job.
