First Project - All Hand Tool
Well this is my first real project hand tool or otherwise. Overall I am pretty happy with it even with all the flaws. I learned a lot that will translate well to my next project. The stretchers are mortise and tenon into the legs and the top is held on with screws through small blocks with elongated holes for movement.
Most importantly though, this serves a previous un-met need to hold my water pic in our bathroom with no counters.
I do have in process pics as well if anyone is interested although I doubt many could learn much from my process.

Nice work - GREAT for a first project with hand tools
I'm amazed at the smoothness of the top - not easy to do, and for a first hand tool project, really admirable.
I'm curious - you say, "I learned a lot..."
That's been my experience, for sure. What kinds of things did you learn?
Are you interested in design comments?
