This tool chest was built mainly using my sliding tapered dovetails. Thus, making it possible to assemble, sand, then disassemble, finish and reassemble. It is easier to stain and varnish when the large panels and doors are laying down. The only fasteners used on this chest are seven brads holding on the top molding.

This armoire was made as part of a seven piece bedroom set, using the sliding tapered dovetail machine and the mortise-tenon machine. Four screws holding the top carving on are the only fasteners used in its construction.

This corner chair is made of cherry with hand carved ball and claw feet. The three back legs are assembled with mortise and tenon joints. The front leg is fitted with sliding tapered dovetail joints. The top arm rests are attached to the legs with vertical dovetails and wedged into place. No fasteners are required with this type of construction.
