I finished the base cabinet and installed it on Sunday. Now I just need to build the open bookcase for the top. :thumbs_up
Here are the obligatory pics:
Things I have learned so far:
1) I need to slow down. Trying to get things done quickly causes me to compromise what I am doing. One of the things I like the most about woodworking is that I can work at my own pace, and not be under time pressure. Yet I still tend to put this pressure on myself :BangHead:
2) I need to improve my workbench top. I didn't realize how a little error in the flatness could cause so many problems.
3) I need a better setup for finishing. Too many issues with dust and dog hair floating around the shop.
4) My combination square isn't square. :BangHead: Reminded me to double check everything, never assume.
5) I need to slow down. Although I am mostly happy with what I have built, I know I can improve on it if I take my time.
Thanks for looking,
Dave
