Beautiful, another classic!

A right nice piece of work, Steve. 

A really nice piece of work and a very functional unit.  However, I missed the runners for the drawer.  I will review it a little later.  

Great work, and thank you for sharing all the steps that went into it. It's great to travel that journey as well as see the finished piece.

Not sure IF I'll stain the inside of the drawers, takes forever to get the smell out..

 

That's a right smart little box there Steven, what will you use it for?

 

Re: staining the inside of the drawers... have you ever used any dyes?  I've taken to using water based dyes with a few coats of thinned shellac on top and have been very pleased with the results.  The alcohol smell goes away quick.

Nice!! I really like those breadboard ends!

 Nice work Steve it looks great.

Might be a tool chest?   Have a spot upstairs as a "Catch-all" for all sorts of small tools and bits....

Drawer runners?   drawers slide on plywood floors.  Nothing fancy. 

 

The lid is 12-1/2" x 8" and is 1/4" thick.    Rest of the wood started out at 5/16" thick...by the time they were all planed smooth...they were at 1/4".  

 

Right now?  I need to go and buy a brush or two....to add a coat of varnish to this box.

I think we all have a "catch all" spot. When I'm looking for something I have to figure out which spot.

In my case, it's called a "house". 

Corner of the Sideboard..got cleaned up..

And it is already filling up.   yes, that is a Beer Mug, full of drill bits.....Dad used to store most of his most used bits in there......I sorted out the better ones, and stashed the not so better ones away....Mug is in the sink, getting cleaned up....just need a beer to fill it with.   The "Good bits"?    Middle drawer...

 

The reason I asked about the drawer runners, I missed it. I went back and found the plywood separator.  I designed a box almost like this for a widow next door who also lost her oldest son.  She wanted a box to put his merit badges and shirts in from many years ago.  I am going to make it from cedar and it will be sealed so as not to color the contents.  Thank you for showing me this box and your process.  I will copy this.  Thanks again for another great job and sharing how to do it.
