No, it was actually pretty simple and didn't take that long. It looks complex because of the curves but if you draw out a full sized template then it's pretty easy.

Its hard to say because I picked away at it between a couple other projects. Just guessing, maybe 15 hours at the most.

I have been doing it as a hobby for about 20 years or so.

I used to sell stuff but had to many bad experiences with buyers so now I just give stuff away to friends and family. I don't have a spot for this so I'll probably give it away as well.

Thank you.

Sorry, no I don’t.

Are you primarily a hand tool woodworker? For the first fifteen years or so I avoided hand tools like the plague. Over the last five years I have been moving more towards hand tools and I find I enjoy woodworking a lot more.

Thank you.

I'll have to give it a try. David J Marks used to have a woodworking TV show that I would watch when I was starting out and he used it for everything.

If you are focusing on hand tools then I would say the following items are not always thought about, but indispensable once you use them.

• Shooting board
• Plane stop for your bench
• Cheap white candles (for your plane soles)
• Binding tape (better than masking tape for taping joints)
• Accu-Burr burnishing rod

Thank you.

That looks really good. Do you have any pictures of the drawers?

Thank you. Inlaid dovetails are my favourite joint.

Thank you. This was a test for a couple projects I had upcoming. I was going to be adding the maloof joints to a desk and the weaving to a set of stools. After weaving this I decided not to do the stools. It was way more work than I anticipated. I did finish the desk, unfortunately I didn't take any pictures.

Looks really good. How do you like the tung oil?

Thank you.

I don't think the API cost will kill reddit but I think that this is the first of many changes coming to try and boost revenue. I have a feeling that old.reddit is next and then probably a lot more ads. It'll be the culmination of all the changes, each one frustrating different groups of users.

That's more impressive than you think! Plywood can be really difficult to dovetail by hand.
