I made this for my grand daughter. It was made using select yellow pine and techniques used were raised panels and dadoed corners to connect the sides together. This was all glued up, with no fasteners being used. The challenge for me was that I didn’t have a table saw at the time and I had to use a straight edge guide to cut the ends square. I did have the use of my 10 year old router table which served its purpose and I was able to get some good cuts for the panels, rails and stiles. All in all the chest came out pretty good.

Thanks to everyone for your comments. I built the chest about three years ago and have not built anything since them. I got all wrapped up in my regular job that I forgot to enjoy life. For me, there is nothing more relaxing than working in the shop. There were times that I would just go out and piddle around sometimes until two and three in the morning. I loved it. I will begin working on a new project soon.

Very nice looking chest.
Was this your own design? I’m thinking of building something similar for my sister-in-law.
Mind sharing the dimensions?

I have had some folks ask about the dimensions for the chest. Here they are. 15D X 24H X 36W. The chest is not very deep as we didn’t want to overwhelm the room and there were so much other kid stuff in the room that the size was just right. Ed.
