Nicely done.

Are those finger joints on the carcase?

The exposed carcase joinery makes me think of Becksvoort's chests of
drawers. His are Shaker-derived though.


Yeah, they're finger joints. I use them all the time. If you invest
the time to create a jig, then you might as well use it. That's the
first time I've ever rounded them. I wasn't sure how that would go so
I tried it on a test joint. It looked great but at the same time it
wasn't an entire cabinet. Some are worried about illegal immigration,
but I could have used a mexican or two to help me run that carcass
over the router table....
