I'm making great progress on the sideboard project! I've got the side rails in, the panels resawn (did you see my live videos of me resawing 8-inch wide walnut by hand?), and now I'm finishing the top rail on the front that will be dovetailed in.

It's actually quite simple because of how large it is! You just have to take you time and be accurate.

You'll see there is a gap in the video, but I ultimately went back to the drawing board and sorted it out. It's now quite a great fit, with no real gap!

If you'd like to stay up to date on the real-time progress for the sideboard, check my instagram account, below. There, you'll see that I'm actually moving along at quite the pace, considering I'm not using any electricity except for lighting and heat (ha!) and since I've got a family and a full-time job!
Thanks so much for watching!

I hope you've enjoyed the progress so far!
