My first attempt at furniture making, after building my home and finally having a dining room. I also built a full 13 course basement to finally get all my tools in one place. Decided to use half my basement for a wood shop, so hopefully there will be many more projects in the future.

I am making a dining suite in the 1920′s A&C style. What’s wrong with retro-making, if that’s what the guy likes? It’s his house. He’s got to live with it.

Neat idea putting the tiles in the table-top. Makes a good set-down for hot serving dishes. I must remeber that. I am designing a table!

Very nice workmanship, but the design looks like something out of the 1980′s. Why would you do a 45 on the corners? And then those diagonal slats on the top with the tile insets! Yikes! But like I said, excellent workmanship, questionable design. Good work.
