Looks great. I have made a couple of chess boards recently - used veneer. Used basically the same approach that you used for cutting and assembly to get nice squares.

IMO the best joint would be a good fitting sliding dovetail.

Dave and I had a great visit and a wonderful lunch. So good to see you again. My wife thanks you again for the spurtles. She loves them.

That is satisfying.

I you have somw thin scrap material, you could put it under your 1/4" plywood, cut them at the same time - no tearout. Good luck.

Best wishes on a speedy recovery.

That's some good looking cherry. Good luck.

I have led replacements for flourescent b ulbs in my shop (daylight) Those lights darken cherry in hurry.

Fascinating. I wonder if the mystery tool is a hinge mortise jig of some kind.

NIcely done. Hpe they serve you well.

Wonderful choice of the curly maple. NIcely done.

THis is going to be a great build......I like it.

I have played with the idea of writing a little but really don' t know how to start. Maybe engineeering brain won't let me wirte anything down until I know where ti is going.

+1.

@ treeslayer mentioned hobbies in another post so "Why not? What other intersts do you have now or have had I the past?? No need to limit the topic to just "hobbies" In chronological order I have been very involved over the years in: Recrerational softball (lost my swing and could not hit a thing), long distance bicycling (knees started to hurt), competitive table tennis (rotator cuff went bad), dog agility (dogs got too old), wood working (a work in progress but it doesn't bother my knees or shoulder), Maintaining lionel trains that I gave to my grandson - there's always something to fix. How about you?
