started this build with paul some 15 weeks ago, and now its nearly finished i kinda regret not trying to source enough mahogany for the back and sides i jumped at the laminated pine boards in the hardware store because they were correct size, however my thinking at the time was this was going to be my first attempt at this and it was going to end up beside my bench there of course would be mistakes and errors that one would learn from .paul really makes it look straight forward and is excellent in explanation of technique. i really enjoying these hand tool methods i feel i am improving with each project.
