    I have one criticism: It's not at my house.

    Beautiful work!

    Nice job. I'm reading the book now and am just finishing the section where Thomas builds this chest of drawers. There is an episode of Saint Roy where the Scharwz is talking about the book and going through all the "exercises" it contains. Never had any desire to do anything strictly with hand tools, but the projects from this book are tempting just to add some practical skills to my personal tool set.

    I haven't seen a better chest since Racquel Welch...
    Your endgrain is like your bellybutton. Yes, I know you have it. No, I don't want to see it.

    Agreed! Did you keep the same overall dimensions as the chest of drawers in the book? Your version looks taller than I was envisioning from the illustrations in J&C. Regardless, the workmanship is beautiful!
