Thanks. Although my paying job is software developer, I enjoy an occasional project like this. Many years ago, before driving age, I worked during the summers at a woodcraft shop with my grandfather. He was a cabinet builder by trade and I learned a lot during those times. Over the more recent years I have built a tv cabinet with sliding doors and oak crown molding I milled myself, fireplace mantle, various bookcases, and then this. I like to take on each new build with a challenge for myself - “what can I do here that I have not done before?” What I liked most about this build was the challenge of incorporating my new xcarve in with the project. As I said earlier - mistakes were made, splinters obtained, and lessons learned but, overall, I am quite happy with the outcome. What’s next? A flip-up roll around table for the xcarve. I told my wife that I would not start that project until her cabinet was done. That build is slated for the Christmas holiday break so, between now and then, I’ve got some designing to do.
