October 22, 201312 yr comment_8058 Here’s the dry fit of the first of 4 jewelry chests. 22 3/4†H, 15†W and 7†deep. The rails and stiles are stacked behind it. they haven’t moved since I dadoed them. I don’t dare build a door until the chest is totally assembled and glued.Above the shelf will be “Wings†or “hangers†extending from the shelf to the underside of the top, to wrap some fabric on for pins and stud earrings. 4 wings per side. Under the shelf will be 3 graduated drawers with recessed pulls. Here’s the tops. bottoms, shelves and sides for the other three. I dry fit each one and fine tune the fits. These builds will keep me out of the bars for a few more weeks.

October 23, 201312 yr Author comment_8061 Well Cliff, They aren't as big as my wife's walnut chest. My sisters have been on my case for a couple years to build each of them one to hold rings, bracelets, stud earrings and hoops, and necklaces. All of which they have in abundance. So, why not build four and make another two ladies happy. (I hope)Cliff said:That's a nice generous size for a jewelry chest. Report
