If you don't know what a "Bucket List" thread is, it's were you post woodworking aspirations you would like to complete before you "Kick the Bucket".

I know some of you have  participated is this kind of a thread on other forums but we have a new group of people here at The American Woodworker and I thought it would be interesting to hear/see what yours are.


My aspirations is a block front chest similar to the one in the link.

Wow, Rich, you set the mark high.

I don't what I want to make yet which is probably why I haven't made it. But I want to do some veneering. I guess the chess boards are as close as I have come to that but I want to do some piece of furniture with some really nice veneer in it.

That is on my list, just don't know when I will get it started. I guess I have to decide what kind of piece first. LOL.

John, since you're into chess boards I have a suggestion for you're bucket list.

You could work veneer in to this also.

A Pennsylvania Highboy, just like the one Reid Smith built. Ever since I have seen that sucker, I have been in awe of Reid's woodworking, and that highboy took the cake. So my bucket list, a big Pennsylvania Highboy. Oh yeah, did I say it will be build purely from hand tools. From the ripping of the board with a hand saw to the handcut DT's and the all the profile plane work. But my skills need to catch up with my aspirations first

See Reid's HIgh Boy

A really big 2 story Log cabin with all the walls flat for carving

Rich, I like that. I might have to look into that.

Thanks for the suggestion.
