3. Beautiful work and what a workshop!
Doing something as well as you are, the easiest way is with the best tools. Your pictures show a great many tools for the job.

Good luck on the rest of the project. MY husband would have been jealous. He had to do all his woodworking by hand and it took him a long time to finish a small project to his satisfaction.
The investment in good tools is worth it if you can swing it.

A neighbor has a great workshop and we used to call it 'Norm Abram North'. ('Yankee Workshop' owner with an amazing workshop. He has tools we did not know existed.

5. Beautiful...and I have workshop envy.
I have always wanted to learn cabinetmaking. We had talked about having a friend make ours when we built the house but he got a big job and didn't have time. Great style!

7. That isn't workshop envy...
it might be tool envy, but that picture takes in 100% (literally) of the "workshop". Everything is on wheels and has to be rolled out onto the driveway to be used. :D
