    Alright fellow constructioners! Just did the day piece, was pretty easy, a lot of joints but no complex ones. Who else is finished? Did you get finished on time? Did you get it all together? How did you find it? Any and all opinions are welcome!

    i did it yesterday and had no problem.
    The 9mm drill in the legs was a problem for me as the wood split everytime even when i did a 3mm and 6mm hole prior to the 9mm. But nothing could be done.

    That's a shane, mine all fit together like a glove and not a crack or split in sight. Only 4 people managed to assemble it though....Im just class:D

    thats strange.
    Every single person in my class who drilled the holes for the dowels ended up with a split in the piece.
    you just got lucky i guess haha.
