Don’t feel too bad. I took the class in February and didn’t get mine done until the end of July.

How about a workshop in completing the chest? While the shell, skirts and top can be done in a week (a week of long days), the inside requires a lot of attention and guidance. I bet you fill the class!
Yes, I’m one of the guilty who is creeping along to the finish line after a very quick start under Chris’ guidance.

Chris–Oh no! I was planning to use poplar! Why did it almost kill you?

I finally finished my chest and have been working out of it for a few months. I have noticed that my bench stays cleaner and work progresses faster. I can’t see myself going back to having tools stashed in drawers and cabinets throughout my shop. Good luck with the class…it looks like it is going quite well.

Andrew,

Holy cow yes. We are using pine. The poplar almost killed us all.

Ahhh memories…. Did you use the same source for the wood or some one else? Looks like you’re using Pine this time.
