Little Min. Chest I made for my wife for Christmas
« on: January 23, 2009, 04:02:06 PM »

This little chest is made of Walnut and hand dovetailed. The dawers are dovetailed also. The size is 19" long-10" high-9" wide. I copied it from one made in 1776. She liked it alot. Carl L.

Looks like some big bucks sitting there in hand tools!  That is beautiful work on that chest Carl, and I really enjoyed the flow of the grain.
Banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered - - Thomas Jefferson 1802
