    It's amazing what you can accomplish with little slivers of wood ...this is only my second time doing hand-cuts and while they were better than the first attempt on the Armoire, they required a lot of "tender loving care" to make them acceptable. The good news is that for this project, "not perfect" is actually an asset given the rustic stone of the fireplace and the barn beams up above.

    Very nice Jim! I like the hand cut 'tails'. You didn't happen to try and sneak a hand plane into the mix didja? Of course you saved yourself by mentioning the power tools...

    Seriously, very nicely done...the fit is great.
