It went much quicker than I expected; 18 days. I have a desk job, lol. And I am much less equipped than you may be thinking. I used an ancient table saw, a spindle sander, a router, saber saw, cordless drill, random orbit sander, an angle grinder and the normal complement of hand tools. If I were to do it again, I would buy a jigsaw and a drill press.
I'm no master craftsman. I'm just a guy who likes to work with my hands and take on challenges. I figure things out as I go, make plenty of mistakes, then figure out how to fix them.
