Chest Update - Derek Cohen - 03-09-2016
Seven drawers down. One to go ..
At this point, I estimate I am about at the half way stage. Lots to do. Keep you informed.

I love the grain patterns on those drawer fronts. Really spectacular. Lovely work.

Looks great, especially the dovetails.

Derek;
Now that you've got the additional drawer weight in the case (looks great by the way), how's the stability side to side and front to back. I've been penciling some tool chest w/ drawer designs, and was wondering if the panel and frame design you've made can handle the weight?

Hi Hyper
The frame-and-panel construction is only a part of the whole. The construction so far is very rigid, and this is notable since the carcase is attached at the sides only. The rear is still open.
The sides are connected to each other with a top and bottom panel, both frames. Plus there are 8 drawer blades. All of these are either dovetailed or held together with sliding dovetails. Most of the construction uses sliding dovetails.
The point is that the construction is more than the frame-and-panel sides. It is the linking together of parts.
