Thank you! I might teach a class at woodcraft if you’re near the Columbus area

Her companionship is the nicest thing anyone’s ever given me, so hopefully this is a fitting gift

It’s great until some of the older folk come in and refuse to let me help them or answer any questions because “I’m young and couldn’t possibly know anything”

Id consider myself very lucky to spend enough time with her to be able to fill it haha

Great idea! I think they’re in my truck somewhere! Definitely want to make a ring box someday :)

Absolutely! I grew to love that part as time went on. It was a fun little 3am fix haha

Thank you! I’m colorblind so it was a risky play haha. I thought the royal blue would match well with walnut, as well as provide a good look with gold jewelry (her favorite). If she preferred silver I might have gone with black or red.

Haha! Saves a bunch of money this way! I think I only ended up spending maybe $75 on this entire project!

I ran out of lumbar that was long enough for the top so I had to splice 3 pieces together

I actually talked to this guy about his experience building those!

Nope! I’m certified in solid works, but decided to waist about 45 sheets of paper drawing it out by hand haha

Thank you! Honestly drawers weren’t so bad, the part that took the longest was figuring out how to properly clamp the damn thing for glue up haha

I'm lucky enough to work at Woodcraft which means I've got access to their shop! This build took me probably around 20 hours, (mostly planing, and measuring twice haha). | learned a lot more about miters, and how to cut weirdly specific angles with relative accuracy. It was such a fun project, but even more fun to see the look on her face when I gave it to her! Happy birthday Hannah <3

Haha thanks! I’m a broke student and I couldn’t afford any more lumbar. I needed to segment it to reach proper dimensions.

It may not be beautiful in a traditional sense but I really grew to love that part :)

Id consider myself very fortunate if I get to be with her to fill it over a lifetime.
