Very nice. A great variation on a classic design

Thanks Gina. I didn't see all the ebooks available. That's very cool. The videos available for the ipad look pretty limited right now as far as a member basis. I may wait that one out. Thanks for the quick response!

Can't buy the book as a PDF to read on my iPad? Can't view the video on fww nor access the flash content with the iPad either.....fww, you guys need to make your website and bookstore more friendly for mobile devices. I want to spend more money with you, but you make it so hard.

I've been to Maloof's house. Would love to get this killer book.

How can I become a pro? I love woodworking as a hobby and would love to go full time, but it's tough to quit a good paying day job. Are there baby steps I can take to see if I can hack it as a pro and change careers with the peace of mind that I won't starve to death? Or is it best to take the big plunge and hope I have the right stuff?

Asked for a bunch of Lee Valley gear:
Detail chisel set
Router plane
Saddle squares (straight and DT's)
Pullshave

I've been good! Honest!

Thanks for the comments! Glad you like it. Crazywood: flattening the door fronts was kind of a pain. That wood was a bit funky, and after resawing the doors I used a drum sander to flatten them. I was able to finish plane only the "solid" parts of the doors, and used a scraper on the funkier sections. The drawer fronts were much more solid and I was able to plane those using a smoother with a 55 deg bed angle taking very thin shavings, and scraping on sections that didn't cooperate. In order to add stability to the doors, the chisel racks are actually a strengthening device, with some additional "decorative" ribs for added structure. That spalted maple really sucks up the poly as well.
