Can we see a shot with the drawers closed? I'm still trying to figure out what holds it all together! It appears that the top is cantilevered, but then what keeps the top drawer in place?
Here are some pics from the process.

Moggymatt: I'm always surprised when someone other than the wife appreciates the work. All I ever see are the mistakes.

These are so fun to make, just follow the instructions and remember to turn the block at the right time to make the cuts work. I do them with the standard 1/4" bandsaw blade for both cutting off the backs and fronts and cutting out the drawers.

Looks awesome, Tom! :cool:

For those who may want to try their hand at it before investing in the book, this guy has some fun and free bandsaw box patterns to look at:

And a video of his technique:



ShopSmith Hands On archives also have a very basic bandsaw box pattern article, which might be a good starter box to try:

They look really fun, Tom! I may have to try one out soon!
