Awesome work Chris. Someday I hope to be that good. I only do heavy duty patio chairs at the moment. I always feel uneasy sitting in plastic or narrow patio chairs being a big guy so I decided to make my own. I have made a few benches too, but nothing super detailed like the work you do.

Love seeing some turned pieces, I could do that for hours on end, just need a decent lathe.

If you said it, I didn't catch it but the maple is for the legs on the front, and is there going to be square legs on the back?

No, it's kind of weird to describe but essentially a tall wall hanging cabinet located directly over my furnace's heat exchange. This will hang between two decorative door thresholds and the legs, though solid are for decoration only. They will appear to lift the cabinet allowing a clearing for the exchange.  I'm not sure if that makes sense but when I hang it it'll kind of make sense (in my head anyways)!

Funniest girl I've ever met. The story is, she likes Orange is the New Black. I'm not really a drinker but I had two beautiful glass tumblers that I freeze and have a cold beer in. She broke both of them. Then she got me an engraved one with our wedding date on it. She broke that one. Then, we were at Newbury Comics and she found this one plus one that says Bazinga. This one is a quote from ONB. I cracked up when she got it for me. She promised me she learned not to break my tumblers. ;)

I think women are just subconsciously programmed to break beer glasses, some of my favorite glasses have been shattered, except my Spatan Stein remains nice and safe!

I think on a deeper level they are programmed to break our will! Honestly though I couldn't ask for a better wife and mother of my kids. The woman is a saint for having to deal with me!

Well, she's all glued up. Tomorrow, the hardware should be in, and I can finish the carcass and doors in Danish oil. The shelves have been banded, the doors sanded and I got some gutter screen to instal in the lower cabinet so it can act as a root cellar.

How do you like the glubot?

I got the small one and though I like it, I really should have gotten the bigger one. I empty the bottle almost as soon as I fill it. Really cool little tool, works great when I'm filling the mortises from the Domino.

Thats probably a return air register, being on the wall, so that wouldn't work so well. But it could be a supply, having moveable vanes.... just thinking out loud
