Spring Chicken, Like egging, I'm somewhat of a newbie on wwing - only about six years serious and that extremely limited time. I look back on the rocking horse I made my daughter and wood train (very nice) I made my son around 10 years ago. On the one hand really sloppy, on the other I'm amazed I did it with the limited tools and knowledge I had at the time.At the moment I'm equipping the house with cabinets. I'm finishing the basement and putting in a pretty nice bar. I also homebrew and have a two tap head so a nice bar is important. Cabinets are cherry, raised arched panel, all inset doors. Few people appreciate the craftsmanship of an inset door until they see one. The gaps are so tight (yet even all around) the doors won't slam shut because of the escaping air.Nonetheless, building essentially big boxes is getting old!! My wife wants the kitchen redone - so I'll be at this a while. I do a little turning, but my real interest is high-end furniture. But first I need to fill the house. To date my nicest piece is actually my workbench!! Much to my wife's chagrin. A 3" thick solid maple top, dovetailed aprons (7"), trestle base that is wedged tenons or pegged tenons. Her jaw fell open the first time she saw it. Told her I needed practice. Next best piece is my sons loft bed. Bought a pile of soft maple and as luck would have it some incredible tiger maple figure in there. Cut into 1/8" veneers. He doesn't appreciate it but I do. His ladder has the rungs in sliding dovetails. I admit I go overboard but that's why it's a hobby.God knows how many bookshelves to date. Still, my fantasy is some Krenov-like hanging cabinets in exotics. Someday...WWing for me - I really appreciate a fine tool. I'm slowly acquiring, for example, Lie-Nielson planes (one per year). It's like the egg - I can deal with fewer, but what I want is going to be top-notch. Life is too short for junk.
