Nice joiners chest! Just needs some tools in it now

-- a little bit of stupid goes a long way

Hey Eric
Nice chest , what size is it?

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

Eric,
That is one nice piece of work! Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! And…it looks substantial too!
I love the color of the wood…is it stained or just finished with oil?
I wish my scrap bin could turn into something that nice.
Thanks for posting it.

I like it … immediately caught my eye

Looks like it should hold a Kapex very nicely! (Running, ducky, and laughing all at once!)

Thanks everyone.
It’s getting pretty hard to post anything these days without embarrassment because of the astonishingly beautiful work you all put out. But I sure do get a kick out of monkeying around in the shop.
Jim, the chest is about 35w x 20d x 16.5h.
Ellen, the finish is Minwax Golden Mahogony #209 with paste wax over that.
(I’ve been using wax more these days to appease the boss who complains about the smell from poly and I’m really starting to like it more. It softens the look and makes it very smooth to the touch.)

Thank you all again.

i like the look of your chest. But man come on!. Its a joiners chest. It would have been a good opportunity to put some hand cut through dovetails on those corners. sorry but maybe I have been reading the roy underhill article in pop woodworking too much lately in the bathroom. I like the dovetails you used on the pine chest in the project section.

Nice chest, good use of scraps.

Great looking chest. Very sturdy looking. Great color. That stain turned out very nice. The wax is a good idea. It does cut the oder and shines up very nicely. Fantastic use of scraps!

Great chest Keep it up.

Scrappy

P.S. Never be afreaid to post a project. Remeber, you are your own worst critic, and we all love to see each others work.

-- Scrap Wood's the best...the projects are smaller, and so is the mess!

Scrap? wow…excellent…a fine chest…for just about anything…

I always love anything made out of scrap. You have made a beautiful looking chest. I need Miniwax for some of my projects. Is it inflammable and can it be carried in the plane? If possible I want my friend to bring it for me hence the inquiry.

Sharad my friend,
I just went and checked the stain I used on the chest, and beside the fact that my old eyes are failing me, I must admit that I gave the wrong brand.
The stain I used is Varathane Golden Mahogany #233, not the other I mentioned.
It is made by the Rust-oleum company and I have attached a link to order it.
It is a flammable liquid so I don’t know if your friend would be allowed to bring it back with him or not.
