This shouldn't be too hard for me to copy. Jan snapped it up at a garage sale today for less than the cost of the wood. It appears to be gum. It could be Eastern red cedar as well but so far I haven't detected a cedar aroma.

I plan to, with my faithful 13 year old know-it-all son, build one similar.

Wish me luck.

Hi Gary

It looks like cedar and a plywood back

The knot in the side looks like a cedar knot

Bob, I'm thinking of plywood for the back. Don't know why the guy who built this one didn't.

The sweet thing is having the kid for the week and an easy project for him to work on. We'll probably dress it out a little more, but in the end I hope he enjoys the experience and takes something home he can tell his mom he built.

Good luck Gary, looking forward to the pics!

Gary be sure to sign and date yours and sons work. you never know how long it will be in the family, but it is something you done together.

garyo1954 · 01-01-2008, 11:04 AM

Great thought Dr. Zook. Thanks for the reminder. I'll do it.

cool! gotta get pics with you guys in it so we can get a good idea on how big it is!!

The overall height of the little chest is 609 mm high by 215 mm wide by 152 mm deep.

I did get a dry fit on the shelves and found a nice chunk of 4 X 4 for the bottom while the real boss decided it needed some dressing with possibly a heart, hidden hinges, a curve on the top rail, and all the things bosses are good at deciding. Now that the boss has disapproved of all that I did today I should have pictures tomorrow.

I love my boss. She scratches my ear perfectly.

That's equal to about 24" high by 8 1/2" wide by 6" deep for us imperials.
