That is gorgeous. Exactly the kind of stuff I want to make. I love the colors. Very bold. Excellent work!

Thanks. The desk is next.

I admire the hand tool work.
You created a nice piece. I like the embedded drawer handle.

Nice work Joe ……. although as someone who was around when that furniture was popular, I will never be a fan of “mid century”.
Doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate the craftsmanship though. :-)

….and I really like your leg vice/vise!

When I built my office I considered painting the drawer fronts in bright colors. My wife was completely against that and I didn’t do it. I ended up staining and painting the insides of the drawers different colors – each section a different color.

I really like this; sleek, modern, colourful and unique. Well done!

I like it. At the same time subtle and then in your face.

nice nice.

Thanks everyone.

Paul, to be honest I am not a fan of traditional MCM. I do like the contemporary spin a lot of European designers are putting on it now. I wish I did something different for the feet. I love that vise! Thanks a lot for the design (and logo). I use it for everything. the wedge is finally starting to split on me. I thought it would long before now because the grain orientation is not ideal. I just used what I had at the time. But I’ve got some quartersawn hickory ready to take it’s place

Madts – that’s what I was going for. I intentionally kept the joinery really simple so it wouldn’t draw any attention. The drawer pulls are unique, but really I just made my life easier fitting the drawer fronts. There are about half a dozen screws in that dado under the walnut :)

Excellent work Joe and a beautiful design.

Amazing build great case.
