American girl chest

Great looking chest.

-- masrol, kuala lumpur, MY.

she will love it.. Her dolls would love it too if in fact they were alive… They are inanimate? Right?

Either way, your daughter is lucky to have you.

Looks great wood nut. I’m sure your daughter (and her dolls) will love it. What’s the actual size? Something in the photo to show the scale would have been nice.

i think the inlays look great.

-- Joe, Ga

Well done. I have had a request for something like this for a friend of the family and it looks like a fun opportunity to take on a complex piece of furniture on a smaller scale. I’m sure you will be the best dad in the world when she gets this tomorrow on her birthday.

For dolls clothes? Yes! Nicely done…and the inlay was well done for a first try…I should talk…I haven’t done any inlay so you’re way ahead of me. This looks great.

Thanks guys for the good remarks. The dimension for the chest are 36” tall x 18” wide x 9” deep. The way I came up with the depth was to measure the hangers the clothes come on. For the height I measured the lenght of the longest dress, I knew I wanted to rods to hang clothes on, Then added the two drawers.

The Inlays Look Great What a Great Gift

-- Jim, Kentucky

that’s awesome.
I remember my dad transforming a child’s suitcase into a storage unit with drawers etc. Yah, it was REALLY special!!
this is wonderful

Great job! Love the walnut!

Did you have a plan for this or just ‘wing’ it? The reason I ask is that my granddaughter would like to have me build her one and it is on the agenda for sometime soon. I have already made her a bunk bed with trundle for her dolls! Could you possible pm me with the dimensions at least?

Thanks,
Jim
