I'm getting really interested in building things, especially shaker style furniture. It doesn't help that my wife was in my shop today and said "so, when did you get all these planer things?" Uh oh... I told her "I only have about 10. You should see some of the other guys!
The more I learn about designing and building furniture, the more I am drawn to traditional construction methods and styles and I am interested in seeing stuff you guys have made using mostly hand tools. I don't have a problem being a purist-I don't have the patience to take rough lumber to workable size using the table saw, jointer and planer, but from that point forward, I'd just like to see stuff that appears to be produced in a traditional heirloom way. When I post questions about furniture examples elsewhere, I end up getting posts of things obviously made with dovetail jigs, modern drawer slides exposed, etc. and short of seeing pictures of peoples tool cabinets I don't think I've seen any posts of actual projects made by hand very often. When I saw Martin's shaker inspired try it really motivated me to make one of my own and now that I have, I want to keep going...
