As a woodworker who also uses ( to a lesser extent) hand tools, I think the average viewer is unaware of how difficult it is to do what you are doing so well.

My grandfather used such tools and learnt a lot from him. And yes, it takes a bit of time and patience, but if you're into this, it such an experience. I really need to start making some stuff, to honor his memory.

Nice job. I just completed my first Nakashima inspired coffee table a few weeks ago. I didn’t have any live edge so I glued up some 100 year old cherry planks, a friend gave me, for the top. And the base I made out of walnut. I ended up a tiny bit lose in the dado joints and ended up using to small shims to tighten it up. It turned out satisfactory. I look at it as a learning experience for the next one I build. I really like the Nakashima style.
