Hope Chest
My youngest daughter wanted a Hope Chest for Christmas so I decided it was time for me to tackle the "Dovetail Joint". Something that I had been dreading for a long time. But when it was completed I realized I did a lot of worrying for nothing.
The dovetail joints were fun to make. You just have to take your time and work slowly making sure your measurements are correct. I was using my great-grandfathers wooden mallet with the wood chisels. I felt like I was going back in time, working the same way they did back then. It was very satisfying to see the finished work turn out the way it did.
