I use Photobucket and am not having your issues. Checked my most recent post with images. Free, too. I upload the image to their site; and link whichever file shows the image on WoodNet. My ISP is Common National Greed.

I forgot. The one Glen made has a long radius from side to side like this one I built in the photo. If I remember correctly I think I used a #8/13 or a #8/16 but I’m not positive. If you were closer I would let you barrow some tools so you could figure out what works best for you.

I'm not sure (yet) just what going on. I've doing what you describe for many years and now this. I'm only using 8% of my allotted space on my free account. ???????????

Very nice Dave. I can only hope mine comes out 1/4 th as well as yours. The drawers will be a real challenge for me.

I think the one you are trying to post looks like this one I built many many moons ago. It was actually one of my first pieces of furniture. The drawers look intemidating but they really are quite simple as long as you take your time. I have patterns for several variations of of block front chests I can send you if you want them.

Yes That's the one. I would love to have your patterns. What a great generous offer. I assume they are on paper and easy to mail? 

Here a couple picture of what I've done so far.

Panels for the case. I consider this a prototype/practice piece so I'm using up some of my not so nice cherry.

This is just an old piece of fur I've been playing with.

Actually all my patterns and plans I have scanned into PDF's so you can either have them printed at staples full scale or scale the individual parts yourself with some photo software. You will also need to pick up some smaller carving tools for shaping the moldings and drawer dividers. It looks like you are using a router so you will need to crisp up all the inside corners.

The same thing thing will need the be done on the drawer dividers too.

For what ever reason I did not receive your PM. I checked my setting in my profile and I do have the box checked to receive PMs. Anyway I sent you a PM with my email address.

Thanks Rich
