Well, I managed to squeeze in enough shop time before the weather turned, so I finished my little Neanderthal project after all. I actually finished up most of the shop work a couple of weeks ago, and moved indoors for assembly & finishing.
It will get to live in the house until Spring, when it goes back out to the shop to serve as storage for all that little "stuff" that's been cluttering my work surfaces.

BTW - Tyler, sorry about your Vikings
(not really :D )
Very nice...good proportions....nice details. Great job!
Nice handywork Erin. When I try to cut dovetails, I really screw them up. :o
I need lots of practice, but I want to spend the time turnin'. :rolleyes:
So much to learn ............. too little time. :(
Bruce ;)
Very Nice Erin.
We're going to have to get you some heated work space so you can continue turning out these fine creations through out the year.:cool:
Vikings:confused: Was there a game today??
Am I blind? I don't see any dovetails in this piece.Quote:

Erin,
I too like the Japanese method of mounting drawers of this type. They work quite smoothly.
Keep up the good work.
If you are solely a neander, a bench and drop cloth should yield little interior dirt and dust. Just a thought.

Nicely done Erin!! I'm glad you were able to beat the weather. For your next project, I expect to see half-blind dovetails on those drawers!!!:D:rolleyes:
I'm still behind on most of my stuff...but what else is new...so hang in there...the plans will be coming!:eek:
Cold midwest winters are a long time to go without some WW tools in hand.Quote:

Very nice work, Erin. Like Pam, I missed the dovetails at first but then saw them on the carcass. I hope your friends appeciate the skill that went into using that signature joint.
I couldn't help but also notice the stained glass windows behind your cabinet. Those are beautiful too!
Thanks, Alan, bad on me, the drawers grabbed my attention.Quote:

Now which handle does that No. 50 have?
Erin, I love little chests like that. I have made several over the years with power tools never with hand tools. I admire your work. Keep up the good work.
That's the plan :D This project was a warmer-upper for the good stuff!Quote:
