Here's an update on the sewing box. Sorry it's taking so long but I'm only a weekend woodworker
The first pic shows a jig I made to carry the turned pedestal so I could rout three dovetails to take the legs. I used a 3/4" candlestand bit in the table to rout the grooves but had to hand cut the mating dovetails in the legs.
The second pic is a dry fit of the parts and shows a hand carved skirt I decided to add between the pedestal top and the hexagonal well that carries the sewing box on top. I hope our forum carvers don't look too closely at the skirt as it's my first carving effort.
