It’s not as well executed or fancy as most of the posts here, but dad likes it, so that’s what counts.

    Beautiful. The little metal corners are a nice touch. I bet he loves it!

      Thanks! They were very handy in hiding the crimes I committed while mortising the hinges.

      Mortising quadrant hinges without a router is a 2/10 experience. Do not recommend.

        LOL. I think we all need some crime-hiding metal on our various builds. Another plug for the classic exchange:

        “Just put the bad side against the wall.”

        “I don’t have that many walls in my house.”

          Classic indeed! I’m adding that to my repertoire of witty phrases as all I’ve accomplished so far in wood-craft is sanding a branch to become soon a walking stick. 😬
