I know if you realize it or not, but my adopted son in SC has a LT40SH and is a master bench builder :D :D :D.

Looks like I need to adopt another one in Iowa ;D.

Thanks for all the kind comments.

Walk away

But that is so hard, just one or two more strokes of the brush and it will look better, I am sure...... Oh no too much, the finish was tacky and now I have brush strokes! Should have walked away....
:(

I hate it when that happens.

Danny, that chest is outstanding. Beautiful wood together with superb craftsmanship is always a winner. Thanks for sharing the build with us.

??? How many kids are you going to adopt? Pretty soon people will stop making fun of me for my five kids when they start totaling yours up! ;D

Beautiful work, Danny! That is something to be proud of and will be cherished by your daughter for many years.

So...Did you make it?

Yes. I finished everything at 3:50 p.m. on Christmas Eve. We had a family get together here at my house starting at 4:00, so I had time to come in and change clothes

. The chest really glows with 4 coats of varnish.
