Seems the family Christmas Exchange is upon us.....and I want to build a Blanket/Hope Chest for the one on my list.....
Research: just finished watching a Norm Abram version being made....Season 1, Episode 4, Blanket Chest.......and thinking HOW would I build it in MY shop....
have a stash of 3/4" x 6" Ash planks in the house, now..
[attachment=30754]
About 25 bft of Quarter sawn Ash..
[attachment=30755]
might be enough...if not, I know where a bit more is.....Paid $20 for this stack...shortest ones are 3' long....
So...might start with some pieces for the corners, then see about the rest of the side frames....need to glue up a few panels, too....
Stay tuned..
