I think the doors should be inset and in line with the drawer fronts. Put a hinge strip on the ends of the table so the doors can be opened a little more than 90°.

Excellent build along Josh, you can take my shop pics anytime! Those are just excellent, well done! Those octagons are great too!

not to argue but are you sure about Taiwan? China produces more of what you are describing

Another aspect I liked in the carving video was the importance given to the drawing. Though the film is silent it's obvious that drawing the designs is paramount. I forgot to mention that earlier. A friend just completed his woodcarving instruction at the school, and he is justifiably proud of his many (good) drawings.
I've been a huge believer in the importance of learning to draw to develop the skills required to carve. To me this is an aspect of carving that is significant. I Don't really see this talked about much when carving is discussed.

Ya done good, dad, beautiful job and will be cherished for years.

That is a great read and he does make some wonderful planes.

There is a guy here who makes planes and posts them once in a while. Here is a link

He makes a lot of different planes and this is only one of them.
