Nice to have y'all come along on this one. I've hit a wall (figuratively) with building drawers for the gable built in, but this distraction has me excited to hit the shop again.
I've not been taking pics like I've been known to, because I didn't intent to post it. But it's coming along pretty well so it gets a share here.

So far, had to buy two 2x4s for stock but otherwise it's all stuff I had on hand. I like that.
