re: A Pleasant Conundrum

Sorry to disappoint Devad, all of these are one offs or sometimes two. My "sketch pad" is an old piece of melamine that's been migrating around the workbenches since I built the workbenches. Every other day or so the eraser is broken out and the old is swept away to make room for the new. I do try to keep their dimensions at 8"X8" but I never know when I start where it will end up. Always rouned up to the nearest 1/2". My material is usually 1/2"X1/2" walnut, cherry & maple, with a few modified for 3/4" or 1". After the last 8 months my appreciation of geometry and my skills at mitered joinery have really increased. Here's a sample of drawn vs. built, this is as much of a plan as ever exists.
