Wasn't intending to giving you a hard time about it.

No worries, I didn't take it that way. I've always been a bit disappointed in those DIY articles that claim you can do something for X dollars and then spend X+Y dollars to actually make it, so I guess I was responding to that.

PS I grew up in Pekin - so where DO you shop? :))

I do some up at Lowes & Menards around your old stomping grounds, but mostly at local lumber/hardware stores. I don't do a lot of woodworking and it's to far to drive for a few smalls.
Cheaper to go to the bigger towns, but I like to support the local stores try and keep them in business so I don't have to make the big trip for small stuff. I even got most of the stuff for building my house from local places for the added support.
At least you got out of Illinois, when were you there ???
 
WOW! What a beauty! I'm a bit late to chime in but I just registered yesterday.
Nice design and execution there man.

Beats me - I do hope it doesn't end up in some garage sale or estate auction some day, but I guess I won't care then anyway.

Somebody told me once that "Worry is interest paid in advance on a loan that you may never have to pay back." so I guess its kind of dumb to fuss about that!

Anyway, thanks everyone for the kinds words of encouragement!
 
Really Classy Looking Chest. Amazing finishing, A true pro at work!! :))

Did your wife ask you to build her a jewelry box for her yet?

I like the hardware. Was it from a library card catalog?

Beautiful work.
