So I recently posted a new Forrest WWII for trade on the classifieds forum below. Worked out a deal and got a sweet thumbhole D8 and a 24" D8 x-cut.
With that I decided that hanging all my saws from two hooks on the wall wasn't good enough any more, so I started in on a saw till.

Dimensions are 24" wide, 40" tall. Basic, open style with slanted sides. The bottom 6" will be two drawers and a cubby, or three drawers, or something like that. All Southern Yellow Pine from HD, I have decided that it will be 100% hand cut everything (I usually cave in and use the TS for rip cuts and cleaning up the ends). Last night I got the basic shape done and all the Dovetails cut. So far so good.

Dovetails fit right off the saw too, which is unheard of for me! Right now I'm all about slightly long dovetails. I love the look... Not sure if I'll plane them flush or not just yet.
More pics later as I progress.
