I did the sanding in two phases; the first phase involved sanding the inlayed top and drawer, and the second, about 5 weeks later, the whole carcase. during both sanding phases I developed a very intense distaste for alcohol, particularly red wine and "brown" liquor, which extends to topical alcohol-based skin cleaners and even mouthwash. After the first phase my taste returned to relatively normal after 3 or 4 weeks of shop idleness, but I still have the aversion 2 weeks after the second exposure. My sense of smell and taste for other foods seems to be unchanged. Any one else experience this?

It seems that it will want to expand in all directions. Like to see more detail on the "Shoes".... The design is neat - but ahh.... I think you left a layout line one of the dovetails. Not to critsize, but is something I do entirely too often. Make a "mental" check list - then blow it by skipping some of it toward the finish line. Even if four items on the list are in plain site I've already skipped to item 7 or more and mentaly wont register items 2-3, like cleaning off a pencil line. By the time I notice it, it is already under two coats of finish before I take the blinders off. Since I have attempted to make "WRITTEN" check lists - but I need a mental one to even do that.....
