Reviews:

First completed guild project, however I’ve used bits and pieces from others in various builds. Matt’s instructions are clear, precise, and easy to follow. Highly recommend this project, you’ll learn lots and build something that is both practical and beautiful.

Second project, can’t wait! — much needed as all my planes are sitting under the roubo. Will one of the swing-out doors be large enough for a saw till? I’ll be happy to just get the planes up and out of the way…
