I bought one about a year ago and am getting ready to do alot of projects with it- plans are for entertainment center, custom closets and built in shelves.
I'd love to see some finished projects too.

I made my drawers with dado's and rabbits....not fun. I wish I would have used pocket screws. They are so much easier and if you make a mistake you can just unscrew it. With glue....not so much!:lol_hitti

I used mortises and tenons a lot before. They are strong but you have to spend a lot of time. Now I am using Kreg jigs to replace some of the mortises and tenons, such like inside drawers.
I feel Kreg jigs are not as strong as mortises/tenons, but it's convenient.
