    This chair is 70 percent hand work. It is a chair I made of curly maple for my daughter to rock my grandchildren.

    Just to sort of keep this thread alive, here's my latest hand tool only box making exercise. Scrap box piece of Borg oak.

    Miters are getting better. But, cutting off the top after glue up went south fast. Didn't notice the saw going way off line on the opposite side Ended up planing the top piece down and adding a strip of zebra wood I had laying around. Get one thing right...and another step creates a colossal lesson.

    Very nice box. TMI about the addition of the zebra wood - you planned it that way, correct?

    just glued up my new tool chest. Maple with bottom in pine. Will have two narrow sliding trays on the runners, leaving about a third of openening down to the bottom layer. Hope to plane the dovetails flush today, and then off to dimensioning wood for the trays.

    Perhaps a journey through a thread on here? " A Dresser build". 90% hand tool work. On a long journey to build a chest of drawers. Just a few hours of work at a time, then a day of rest.

    update on the tool chest. Finally got all the pieces together. My plan was to have the trays sliding, leaving an opening down to the bottom layer. But I decided I rather have the room for stuff and made the trays to cover the full width. It's easy enough to lift one tray up on the other. Outside finished with BLO, inside and trays left unfinished.

    Still undecided how to organize the trays. Only sure thing is one will hold my paring chisels.

    Off to new projects!

    It is obvious you need more chisels:

    And this isn't even all of them.

    Maybe I should join chisels anonymous.
