2 Year Project Finally Complete

Stunning as always Todd….....nice job

Stellar job, Todd, stellar. I’ve never seen any wood like that. Very unusal.

-- Remember--- one good turn-- gets most of the blanket!!!!

Beauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutiful Todd, LOVE the wood combination and the design as well.
Is that spalted curly maple? I posted a box with a top made of the same type of design.

Love the design of this project and am also very happy to see that I am not the only one who lets the
family projects slide….................... “the cobblers kids never have shoes”!

Curly and wormy, don’t think I’ve seen that combo before; wonder what the percentage of maples have that? 0.001% maybe? Great apothecary-ish piece!

-- Ooo, er.

Congratulations, Todd, on the great looking piece, but more importantly on finally finishing it!! ;)
You’re posts are always a pleasure to read! Thank you for sharing your journey…

Todd, this turned out gorgeous and I am sure Rita understands why it took awhile to finish. Like you said personal projects just do not pay the bills.

The wife of a friend, who is a pro, had to hire another carpenter to put on a bathroom door in their master bedroom. They had been living in the house for 3 years and using a shower curtain as a temporary fix. When I laughingly asked him about this he said that (1) he does this everyday at his job and (2) he loses money if he has to take time off to work on his home.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Genious Todd, you finally figured out the secret, keep the wife happy and life is good.

you have a great eye for design and your execution is top notch as always. I’ve learned a lot from you over the past couple years. Thanks.

wonderful as always

Very nice, as usual.

Advantage—small shop. Like, in my shop(?) you can ONLY have one project going at a time. No room to spare. So, you get one done before starting something else. That helps when it comes time to “exercise discipline” as you suggest. Okay, not as much fun… but…

-- Al H. - small shop, small projects...

Well worth the wait! Looks amazing. Well done.

-- PAI

okay…of all the people who don’t need to kick themselves it would be you…and on the other side of that coin (or the same really) a busy woodworker is not a bad problem…

great project…

-- Matt, Napa, CA...fun is beautiful...just trying to have some fun...

drool, drool drool, those draw fronts are just gorgeous!

Nice! I’ve been trying to finish up some old projects lately myself. I really like the box.

I feel you man. I look up in suprise to find I have several projects started and taking up space. To make it worse I am not disciplined enough to keep my shop ship-shape so have to stop between projects and reorder the entire thing.
