my first project

[Armand]

This is my first project for my son James. It is very basic using only handtools available in my small shop. First time to build such project without using nails and hammer. First time to do mortise and tenon and dowels. Dovetail was used to lock the aprons to the posts (a screw was added at the end to secure the lock, very stable and I hope it will last).

A lot of things learned on this first project but also realized how much power tools are needed to produce fast and quality projects.

Armand. What i did was i went directly to the link thats supposed to be the image. Its not. its the viewing page of picassa. So what i did was i right clicked the image and "copy image url" then used that in the post

by the way. GREAT looking bed! it'd be years before i get to that caliber your son should be proud.
