Beautiful Highboy! What is the wood and what finish did you use?

Well, haven't been in the shop much at all this summer except to match some trim for a friend. I spent a day last week sharpening all my tools. Tomorrow I will go through the Shopsmith with a fine tooth comb and wax all tool tops. The last thing I did was the attatched cabinets for some people in Indiana. I mumbled frequently about the small shop. Probably a little too big a project for my little area.

Within the next week or two I'll start on Christmas gifts. Need to build a foyer table, chess pieces, curio cabinet and maybe I'll start that bedroom suit that I promised the wife 20 some odd years ago

Quite stunning.

I don't think there are any words to describe what a beautiful piece that is.

Did you use a jig to make all those cars the same?

Chuck, regarding that fleet of mini cars, are they of your design or did you use a set of plans? If plans, where did you get them, as I'd be interested in making my own fleet.

Thanks.
