It was a chilly 45 degrees here this morning, but I braved the chill, cleaned up the rabbets with my old #78 and dry fit the chest.
Here is a look at the front

Still need to trim a couple of rail tenons, but after that, its off to building the lid.
Have a great day and thanks for visiting.

Bruce, this is looking really good. The raised panels give the chest a nice look. But it sure doesn’t look like you are assembling it in the shop!!!
You must have a very understanding (not to mention tolerant) better half. I know without a doubt I would get yelled at if I tried to assemble a piece this big in the house. But, of course, this is for your grand daughter so that is different. :)
Keep the posts coming. This is going to be a gorgeous piece.

Kip and Scott, thanks for the kind words. The pictures were taken in my ‘assembly room”. Most folks call it aa living room. Lucky for me, the only furniture in it are a piano and two barrister cases. Wifey is “waiting” on the pool table. And my better half doesnt complain. Of course it helps that she is 153 miles away for the next 6 weeks. LOL. Actually, I sent her the link in an email and she responded that she loved it and did not complain about its location.
Have a great day.
