my first real piece of furnature

Post by bobw1953 »

I built this ten drawer chest from Oregon alder at the request of my children. I also built the bed frame and two night stands.

It took me about 200 hours over a few years due to my JOB LOL

Nice job. Is there any chance we can see the other pieces as well.

Did you build to a set of purchased plans or did you create your own.

Are there two drawers behind the door? I only count 8 plus the door.

Nice work. Your children have to be really proud of what you have done. It is hard to find tall chest any more. If you have them it would be great to see the bed and end tables.
