.. since I visited and posted here.
I am finishing up a chest of drawers, cheekily referred to as the Lingerie Chest (as if my wife is going to fill it!). It has been an interesting build, a long build (some 13 months now), and one more to go. But it is at a stage where others would consider it done. The chest is a modern version of a traditional bombe - curved sides and bowed drawers. 95% done with hand tools.
The link to the full build is on my website. Just scan down to the Lingerie Chest if you have serious insomnia or are just a mad fool.

This is the current state of the build ...
The dovetail shot ...
and the top ...
The other piece I built before this, that you may enjoy if you have masochistic tendencies is the copy I made of Hans Wegner's The Chair. The factory built this with copy lathes. I used handtools.
Look on the same Index for the build.
Enjoy.
