That came out really well. Beautiful work! I am still chipping away on my Corona virus project that I started in March. Work from home has meant I am much more reachable than I ever wanted to be, and the clear distinction of work time and personal time has evaporated, so now I get my time in an hour here, an hour there, instead of concentrated shop time. Which is to say I feel your pain, and hope my end results are as nice as yours!
Math is tough. Let's go shopping!

Very clean, good looking piece of furniture. I used those slides on my workbench drawers, love them except for the loss of box depth to accommodate the slide. Wish I had used them on the 2 dressers I built for our bedroom (as opposed to wood with glide tape).

It took me a bit to figure the structure out. This is the first project that I've used epoxy to fill knots and purposely keep them in the project. I like how they turned out, much better than putty. I also really like the material savings with today's prices.
I actually got this one done in a decent amount of time. I started in late July, and did other projects in between. I probably could have finished in a couple of months if I only worked on this.
I really like the look, inside and out!

See ya later,

This turned out really nice! I love quarter sawn red oak and the ambrosia maple drawers really make this pop. Great work!

They came from Lee Valley. They had a slightly different look than you commonly see. They are cast zinc, but decent quality.

Looks really nice. Like the figure detail on the side panels.
I started using epoxy on board imperfections earlier this year. It really does allow you to use material that you might not have used before. I do agree use should be kept within reason on the show side of the piece.

Very nice. Looks great and the construction also looks great.
