I've heard this term a few times, but just thought I was too close to Appalachia. Seems it's more varied than soda, pop, or Coke. https://homewords99.wordpress.com/2012/01/11/chester-drawers/?fbclid=IwAR0GQNVdruFsIt5Dw2lyAOxqmLpA_xl2jQEXuohiwb5evpE0jWMkUtd6L3Y

And I always thought this was just a rural Kentucky thang[sic]. https://homewords99.wordpress.com/2012/01/11/chester-drawers/?fbclid=IwAR3h387_Au0hM1qdFy60UulgXTGNh4tSTdb8PpuotSv9B3BFxhNDriI5lZs

Going to try to get that 3 drawer dresser built...BEFORE July 18....Went and priced some lumber today. Not counting the plywood..right at $40 for the pine boards. Three 1 x 10 x 72, three 1 x 8 x 8' and eight 1 x 2 x 8' Pine boards....sides and top to be glued up panels, take doesn't take as long as a frame and panel build would. Webframes into sliding dovetails in the sides. Face frame on the front. may add a bit to the top panel... Now have a pair of Cut-resistant gloves...son brought home a pair from the glass factory he works at. Waiting on Uncle Sugar's Army to pay me my monthly allowance...then maybe a week to build? No pictures, just yet...that will start when the lumber gets here...stay tuned..

My latest project has been a weird one. My wife's cousin asked me if I would build a pair of dressers to hold laundry baskets. In lieu of conventional drawered dressers, she wanted two open faced dressers that she could use laundry baskets as drawers. I finished the first one today and it was the smaller one of the pair. It is 92" long, 32" tall and 21" deep. I used 3/4" cabinet grade poplar plywood and may the face from solid poplar. These will be sealed and painted but not by me. Yea!!! The next dresser is 92" x 47" X 21". Seems a bit top heavy to me but hey, that's what the customer wanted. The completed one is extremely heavy and I can't wait to see how much the big one weighs.
