A good friend ,who was also a carpenter, was fond of saying it's not how few of mistakes you make IT'S HOW WELL YOU LEARN TO HIDE THEM🤣

I've had a furnace blower sitting in the basement for 9 years now waiting for me to do something with it, maybe this is a possibility.

Fred - mine is a merging of many YouTube videos I watched including Jay Bates, Ron Calverley, Frank Howarth and others. Would definitely suggest checking theirs out for insights and ideas.

And rightfully so. Very well done Jim. It looks fantastic.

First good lesson I learned about woodwork was to stop pointing out my mistakes. Nobody notices them if you don’t say anything.

Don’t know how this got posted to this topic. Please disregard.

That's not necessarily so. They may notice it and politely remain quiet.

Thank you. Yes, cherry.

The original in the plan was made with curly maple, but I didn't have any of that. Perhaps my next delivery for central NY.
