I spent my day today making two dovetailed boxes. In my last post I mentioned the saw bench I want to build but decided it would make more sense to build it when I get out East next week where I’ll need it the most….
Well here I sit, Monday morning and I’m feeling really good about phase two of the habinet project. I started the construction yesterday after giving two classes on Saturday- a good weekend indeed.
The second part of the project is a large Armoire that’ll stand next…
