inI wanted to attempt to make a small project entirely without the use of power tools. Learning how to use hand planes, saws, and scrapers was definitely a challenge but I am happy with the results. The dovetailed cross should be virtually bombproof: the joint is cross-grained and only a dab of acetate glue was used to hold the joint in place. Any seasonal stress and movement will not have any damaging effects on the piece. On the other cross I used an old barn-building joint; the peg and tenon. This joint will also be virtually indestructible, as well as beautiful.
