19th Century Writing Slope

REALLY A NICE PIECE. I`M IMPRESSED WITH HOW YOU FOUND THE
NECESSARY HARDWARE. THE DIMENSIONS SEEN TO BE RIGHT ON.
I`M SURE IT WAS A CHALLENGING PROJECT. I BET YOUR WIFE REALLY APPRECIATED IT.
THANKS FOR SHARING IT.

I have been wanting to build a writing box for my son when he graduates. Could you please give the basic dimensions and where you found the hardware? What is the angle of the slope. Thank you. You are a true craftsman. thank You for sharing Ray

This is cool. Nice work.

excellent work Trey, i really like the grain on the outside of the box and the leather writing surface. good competition.

nicely done, and great job sneaking in those hidden drawers. Brilliant!

Very nicely done, I have pictures of a very similar antique writing desk that is sitting in my ‘to do’ pile waiting it’s turn. Hope mine comes out half as nice as yours.

A lot of care and love (not to mention time) has gone into this and it shows.

-- I can so I wood but why are my learning curves always circles

I’d missed this one originally Puzzled, but so pleased I caught up with it. What a delight. All good wishes for the competition. Those secret drawers are a joy! Just need a few dozen golden sovereigns to complete the job.

well done that man!

I suspect that with the right pubilicity you could create a niche market for your writing slope / box! Keep up the good work.

Your wife will no doubt treasure this,you put a lot of heart in this project.
I like the secret compartments too,well done indeed.
