Ben's Chest of Drawers

Looks good! I like the wall at the top back. Kids are always pushing things behind the dresser.

It looks great. I love dark hardware.

I always worry about tall dressers in a boy’s room. Perhaps it is early memories of being pulled out from under one when I used the drawers as a set of stairs… that said if my parents were to remove any furniture that I would eventually misuse and hurt myself with, i would have slept on the floor of an empty room.

Great job. Drawers like that will definitely test your skills!

Nice. Did you use plans? Something I could get online?

Yes, the plans were from Wood Magazine October 2002. I did modify them some though.

Your boy will be proud of that forever.

Thanks for sharing

That turned out very nice. Next time it will go much faster!

Man, that came out super nice. I’m going to try one of those when I get a little more experience under my belt.

Hi there Bamma,
THanks for the comments on my chest. Thought I’ check out yours. Looks real good neat job. Is the timber ash and the insides of the drawers poplar? I have some poplar and it has that same greenish tinge mixed with cream.

The drawers are poplar. Didn’t mind the color in this application. Just finished with wipe on poly.

Very nice chest there, Bama. Flush drawers are always a challenge, and looks like you did a fine job with them.
