What did you make today?

I'm surprised that it's worth so little. It's a nice looking, hand made, 200 year old table. A similar quality new table without the fancy inlay designs would cost close to $1000. So I figured that would be the starting point. Oh well.

But I really am happy that I get to just keep the worthless table now, because it really is nice and will look good in our living room.

Now, a question for you woodworkers, when I re-glue these joints should I just use regular wood glue like I would use in new construction, or should I invest in a glue pot and get some hide glue for a more traditional approach?
