Beginner, making my way and learning. It’s not as huge as the photo makes it look. 1st is pine. 2nd one is hardwood and stained darker.

This looks great! I like the contrasting doweling on the pine version

    Ohhhhhh man… Jr. High School shop class memories unlocked!

    Pretty sure mine had a small shelf somewhere, but otherwise identical.

    Thanks for sharing.

    I can’t think of a better way to get into a hobby :-)

    I love the little finishing triangles too! I miss living near a Rockler.

    Thinking about your project led me back to the memory of the one before… very similar style, but it had a roll of “adding machine” paper that fed through two little strips of thin brass so you could write a note and leave it, or pull it through and tear it off.
