A Christmas present I built

This will be my last post of 2008. Figuring it's new years eve and all, I don't think I'm going to get much more accomplished before now and midnight. Anyway, here's a table I built for my nephew for Christmas. I went home for Christmas and was immediately put to work on this. Considering I'm not a carpenter, I thought the 3 days it took to build was pretty good. Most of that was painting/staining and wait to dry and do it again and again. Here's the breakdown.

The Table top. Notice the dovetail joints, those took me four hours worth of practice to get just right. And once I got it right, I knocked out the whole table in 20 minutes.

The final assembly
