Chestnut Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 This looks awesome excellent work so far. I love seeing builds like this. You are showing how you accomplish the details and they take something that looks daunting and make it look like something I could attempt. Breaking details down like that is a valuable skill. I also love seeing internal dovetails such a great joint espically the way you used it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hammer5573 Posted January 30 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted January 30 Finished (except for the knob)! I took some creative license when completing the top since it didn’t require a chessboard. The tripod base was approved by my friend’s wife. I thought that it would be a challenge since I’d never done one before 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
