    Garrett this is a great project which I will use as a guide to build my display case. I cringed during the no stress glue up and was holding my breath. You are one talented woodworker.

    Incredible work, Garrett. I took a weekend class from you a few years ago in Fort Lauderdale. I recognized your beading tool from that class. I've learned so much from you over the years. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
