Building the ship chaboo for Evan B Harris has been like wrestling an alligator.  I know they say everything has been done but im pretty confident on this one.  No one has every built a CURVED toy pirate ship onto/into a piece of furniture!  If someone has seen it, send me a picture and ill stand corrected.

Making these lap joints is painfully complicated because of the irregular shape.  Every part must line up correctly with each other and the chaboo.   Im routing out the channels for the joints with my Festool router/guide rail setup.  The setup is great for awkward situations… which I seem to attract both in woodworking and socially.
