It's not as well executed or fancy as most of the posts here, but dad likes it, so that's what counts.

Beautiful. The little metal corners are a nice touch. I bet he loves it!

[-] joherl@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I agree. The corners looks great.

Thanks! They were very handy in hiding the crimes I committed while mortising the hinges.

Mortising quadrant hinges without a router is a 2/10 experience. Do not recommend.

LOL. I think we all need some crime-hiding metal on our various builds. Another plug for the classic exchange:

"Just put the bad side against the wall."

"I don't have that many walls in my house."
