Thursday challenge, tell me more about this  

Impressive
Very impressive Simon! Looks exceptionally well crafted.

Hand
made -- as opposed to what ? Isn't all wood furniture pretty much made by hand(s) ?
Nice piece ! Hope somebody can identify it.

meaning of hand made
The joins on the drawers are dove tail and these can be made by a machine jig in minutes compared to the ones that a joiner makes by hand which are made to fit with ONLY one other piece.
Machine made ones will fit any 2 pieces together.
So hence me saying hand made
Simon

I guess if you want to get technical . . .
Any machine used for making wood furniture is at some point touched by human hands. But I think we all know what Simon meant when he said "hand made." 🙂
I've got a few of my own designs around the house that were drawn up in AutoCAD and cut on a CNC machine, then assembled by me. I wouldn't call them hand made, though.

Handy
How about, machine made but hand assembled.
There have been products I've come across with this labeling.

Surely not
What no one knows anything about this.
Have you seen the auction prices falling?

I suppose
I would question the usefulness of "hand made" because (like many another short phrase, like "form follows function") it is too simple to contain much useful information. The one-off object is almost certainly made by hand, but so can be the batch-made series of objects using hand tools, or even a production run of undetermined quantity, if it is "labor-intensive." I can't question Simon's use of the term in connection with this piece, which is clearly well-crafted even if its uniqueness is not known -- but the term raises my hackles because of its tendency to be used as a sales device of (sometimes) doubtful accuracy and, in any event, limited meaning.
Now don't get me started on "burled walnut" !
