Was getting too much sitting around from Yard Sales....Since I did have a nice supply of Ash 1 x 6s Thought I could build a chest to hide all the stuff in, including any more that MIGHT wander in...goal was to have it done before the Labor Day Weekend gets here.
Lots of Dovetails were used...both to join the case, and build 5 drawers. back of the case is 1/4" pine plywood. I think there MIGHT be a Build-along thread somewhere? Dark brown stain, due to it using an old Walnut Coffee Table as a base. Coat of Amber Shellac followed that, then a coat of clear gloss poly.
Bright hardware...as the clunky "Olde Brass" stuff got vetoed. A locking bar was cobbled up, along with lockable latches for the lid....Padlocks (3) all use the same key..
A length of black chain to keep the lid from tilting too far back...Lid uses a Piano type of hinge.
Just under a month of puttering around in the shop..
