Popular Post Danl Posted September 16, 2023 Popular Post Report Posted September 16, 2023 I started the build of the mission style chest-of-drawers with QSWO for the primary and poplar for the secondary wood. The drawers will rest on under-mount soft closed drawer slides. My wife wanted 3 drawers behind the door. The door will have the same motif as the nightstand and the bed. I am not certain if the motif will be applied on the lower drawers. I hope to finish the corbels and route the mortises, into the four legs, for the twin tenons next week. The drawer heights are (4) 6", (1) 7", and (1) 8". Danl I use my shop-made-mortising jig to route the mortises into the legs for the needed mortises for the sides. I use my shop-made tenoning jig to saw the tenon cheeks. Fits together the 1st dry fit as planned. The side panels were made from ½” book matched, solid wood. Ripped sawn from 5/4 bd. The panels have a recess to allow for a 1/16" gap. Thanks for looking. Danl p_toad, Fred W. Hargis Jr, JimM and 7 others 7 3 Quote

Popular Post Fred W. Hargis Jr Posted September 17, 2023 Popular Post Report Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) I've built 2 that are quite similar to yours, and the family members who got really liked the design. But the embellishments you added to the door and lower drawers really set it off. I love it. Edited September 17, 2023 by Fred W. Hargis Jr Larry Buskirk, Cal, Grandpadave52 and 2 others 5 Quote
