I've been wood working as a hobby for about 19 years. My full time job is an electronic technician at a aerospace factory. I have the smallest workshop in the world so when I do projects I usually need to back my truck out of the garage and use that space. I've made intarsia, furniture, cabinets, built my current garage and a previous house. I've always admired the readers gallery and awesome projects and articles in Fine Woodworking magazine.

The book is amazing, I think the most magnificent peice is the corner shell cupboard. Frank Gotshall was deifinetely talented, too bad there weren't more like him. His techniques for having a raised carving from a solid board are referred to as impossible by other professionals.

I built this out of oak because I had some oak left over from when I built my workbench. I do have a bunch of pictures from when I was building it but not on the internet.

Those cookies look pretty good. I was in Rockler the other day and they feel pretty soft and squishy but I wonder how well they'll grab after repeated use? Has anyone tried them yet?

Oak isn't easy to carve. This piece took a lot of hours.
