[QUOTE=Mike Allen1010;3155772]Thanks a lot Joe and everyone, I really appreciate you all taking the time to share your insights and perspectives – very helpful! As much as I truly enjoy working with...

I'll play. Mine would be the first attempt I made at building chairs. Kinda of a cross between Arts and Crafts, and Macintosh.

well done Mike - I like the thicker top, and the finish is great.

simply beautiful, and beautifully simple. Nicely done Mark

2nd the idea of a toe kick saw - designed to do 1 thing and do it well. Can't remember what brand it was but did the job.

As for the Ryobi tools, I have been using them for a long time - maybe 20...

2nd what all have said - particularly the carving. Nice job Tom.

Indeed, DF has never looked so good, Jim. Well done

Thx for sharing the process - I would have never thought of the ladder rung thing. Beautiful piece.

Your usual, high quality work Mike. Very nice.

We burn it as well.

Well done Christopher - very nice and precise work. Looks great.

That's the idea. Worked out pretty well

Brilliant piece of work, and a beautiful table. Very cool.

Here's an idea I did for a dresser I made. Cut a blank of walnut, routed the finger groves, glued a thin piece of cherry onto the walnut, and sanded the cherry away. No router table, just angle the...

ditto on the comments about the front apron, the rendering looking very real (how did you do that?), and a bit more overhang on the top. Also, the bottom shelf might look better if it were only the...
