Beautiful piece I love the spalted sycamore! Post pics of the dresser if you have them. The split side is a great way to avoid having to glue panels up which we all probably hate.
Wow what a mountain of work! I have a 3 car garage as well but I don't like my cars not in the garage so I remain in my tiny basement shop. Good work! Now let's see some projects out of that nice new shop!
Thanks! I used a router table with left and right stops to route the channel. I carefully lowered the box down on the cutter and went left/right and carefully lifted up. Then cleaned up the corners with a chisel.
Thank you Tim! I don't think I will get $300. I think anywhere from $100 - $150 is the best I will do. I'm also going to put a couple of my 50 note music boxes and they will be priced over $1000. I'll walk around the show and see if there is any competition. If it warrants it, I'll adjust the price.
Nice work! I love flame-maple! I like how you wrapped the leather before putting it in the box. Is that glued in as well or just friction fit? I try to make all of my interiors friction fit. And I'm in the same boat trying to get motivated to do something. I have a couple projects that need finishing. It is this Corona! It's got everyone just "blah".
Wow love it! Are the drawer handles ebony? Are the drawer carcasses Cherry? Last question - drawer slides - Blum? Or something else? I have a desk to make this year (for myself) so looking for ideas.
As someone that does partake in the occasional cigar, I suggest you incorporate the below into the humidor instead of the traditional humidor humidifier. Also suggest the humidity/temp be viewable from the outside.
Looks good! Couple things though. For dowels (or miter splines) you can cut them off slightly proud (above) the finished surface and sand them to level. With oil finishes, typically you only add oil until the oil dries. So add a coat, wait 20 minutes and add some more, repeat if needed. But once it dries, since it dries below the surface, you don't add anymore as it will then pool on the surface. For finishing after an oil (I use Danish oil), wait a week and give it a coat (or 5) of polyurethane. Poly is a buildup finish and you can add as many coats as you want and at any time, even after it has totally dried. Walnut in particular really stands out with a satin or glass poly.
Thanks @Sean! Those hinges are pretty good. Not Brusso quality at all but I would 100% use them on any box I made. I like that the screws are actually brass plated steel instead of soft brass. I don't know how many brass heads I have spun off over the years. The Jig-it is totally worth the money. This is the 2nd set I have installed both hinges and Jig.

Walnut and sycamore nightstand

First box I've built
Wow this is quite impressive for any box let alone a first. Inlay dovetails are fantastic. Quadrant hinges too. Great job!
White Oak wine tree and pantry conversion
I like how you bevel your pieces where they meet. This and your skipbo box. Simple yet elegant.
Dresser
I appreciate the work you put into this, but I am not at all a fan of it. I do see you used undermount drawer mounts (Blum?) which I like.
The great shop move of 2022

Whittling Knife Box
Very nice quick project! Did you consider CNC'ing his name in the lid and maybe a date?
Custom Bar for a Local Restaurant
Wow did you make the bar top yourself? The moldings too? Bar needs shelves behind it for some booze and they're ready to open! Nice work!
Veneered Box
Wow Sean very nice! I haven't seen anything from you in awhile. Now sleeve that bad-boy and put an interior in it. It would make a nice humidor.
Morley Timeless Box
Very nice box but without a sleeve/lip, how does the lid stay on/straight?
Nautical Themed Marquety Table
Thanks! I found that Veritas string tool and will order but it is out of stock until August. I would love to start stringing my drawers.
Nautical Themed Marquety Table
Yeah wow fantastic job! How did you do your leg string molding? Was that all hand-cut? I can imagine how many hours you have in this!
Midcentury Desk and Table
Wow love it! Are the drawer handles ebony? Are the drawer carcasses Cherry? Last question - drawer slides - Blum? Or something else? I have a desk to make this year (for myself) so looking for ideas.

Campaign Style Coffee Chest
Great work I love campaign chests! Yours is better than the the one you modelled it after.
You can use your Cedar on a cigar campaign chest for your next project.
Magician's Cup
Thanks Sean. I plan on making a set of goblets next.

Now next make your own wand!
