Don't you folks know pride when you see it in the mirror? Great work Dave. Be sure to sign it. Someday they will fight over it.

February's TWA program is a member show and tell type theme. I really think this would be a good one for you to bring, and share your experience and lessons learned when building it.

Rick I can't wait that long. I think I am gonna bring it tomorrow night to show a few people, and I will bring it back and tell everyone of my mistakes at the Feb. meeting. See ya tomorrow.

Very nice job -- great choice of woods, superb execution and that's just the self portrait! Oh yes, the jewelry cabinet is sweet, too! LOYL has got to be enthralled, but be carefule the TWA folks don't get drool stains on that nice finish! Rob

Sweet, very sweet. I like the grain, your gaps around your drawers are very even, and your joints are tight. I would have had to remake half of the thing to get it to look that good.

Travis I did have to re-make about half of it to get it right:BangHead: I screwed up the drawer fronts and had to re-do the back to give the drawers a little more clearance. Yea, more scrap wood for me:eusa_danc
Thanks for the comments, I like the way it turned out despite the frustrations.

Dave brought his latest project to the TWA meeting tonight so a few of us got a chance to look at this lovely jewelry in person. The pictures he posted do this box no justice what so ever. Dave's box is unbelievably fantastic!:icon_thum

Dave, thanks for bringing it tonight so we could see it.

Dave, the pictures are awesome so it must be amazing in person. Consider the new scraps a bonus - even though that's not what you thought of them at the time.

Gorgeous box Dave! I aspire to become such a woodworker one day!! What did you use for the necklace hooks? I have been looking for something like that, but have been unable to find them. Of course, I do not have the beautiful box like that to put them in, but maybe one day!

Tom, the necklace hooks are just pieces 1/8" brass rod stock from Lowes. I had it left over from another project. Brusso make some very nice and VERY expensive hangers, that I wished I could have used.
