Valet

thats real nice how would you cut the draw hole if you didnt have a fret saw ( presume you did with one )

I used a drill to make a hole large enough for the coping saw to go through it. Once it was cut I squared it using files, rasps, and small planes.

What an awesome project! That is one of the nicest valets I have seen. Did you design this one yourself?

Thanks for all the compliments. Yes, I designed it to accommodate all my “stuff”. I laid my “stuff” on paper, then traced around it to get the approximate sizes. I decided I wanted to lift my pen and pencil up so I drilled the holes in the braces, cut them in half and then put leather in the curves. Of course the floating top and bottom (like panels), splines, etc. I have picked up through watching or reading.
