The joints came out great. Beautiful piece!

Very nice!!
What kind of dovetail jig did you use?

I used the porter cable 12" model. Not sure of the model #.
Seems in the past I had to burn a bunch of wood to get depth right. This is
the first time I put some scrap in and it seemed ready to rock. Maybe
experience has something to do with it -- don't know --not even sure I care
since they are functionally what I wanted.

thanks.

From what I can tell you did a great job at it, congratulations. I
know that I fought over a year before I making them. Now, I try and
use it every chance that I get, because practice makes perfect :-)
Where did you get the locking latches at and how much were they?

latches came from Rockler -- somthing like $24 for the pair. a bit procey
but since I already had the lumber and handles it made for a pretty cheap
project.
