Good on you pal for doing it. I smile a little as I scroll down the pics. When I saw the finished piece with the poly, I LOL, in a great way. Now, may I suggest something on that Kreg Jig? don't use it for structural joints like you have there where you jointed the rails to the legs. Is not if, but when it will go. Don't believe their infomercial. Try and use mechanical fastener like steel brackets or a mortise and tendon joint there. I started building furniture in my late teens and has been addicted since. Pretty much self taught except for a couple of high school classed. Building furniture and cabinets supported myself through long years of college. Did it for a living after that but no longer build furniture for too many people. Cabinets and construction are what we do now with the exception of a few very special clients where we will build all the furnitures for their homes and music studios.
If you have questions or need an answer, please ask. BTW, I taught woodworking to a bunch of local high school kids for a few years.
