This is a nightstand that was completed August 1, 2007. It is one of a matching pair that was built. The customer supplied all the measurments for this project. They even brought in the tile for the top section.
Features
Pine Construction
3 drawers with epoxy coated side mount rails
Tile Top
Casters for easy moving
This piece was really straightforward. The customer supplied the dimensions and a drawing of how he wanted me to build the top. I did spend a little more time on the top than I wanted to, but it worked out fine. The Top was made with a MDF substrate; I resawed some 2 1/2” pine down to 1/4” thick and mitered them around the tile. I then added a 1” piece of pine to cover the end of both the trim and the MDF.

Chris, Nice job on the nightstand!
I just love how you show us your construction process and explain how you made your project. It is really helpful to those of us who are not as advanced.

Nice work Chris. You did a great job on the stand. I agree with Tom and Mot, how about some more details on how you made the top especially. Someone I know is interested in a tile top for some end tables, so I would like to know more about how you did that.
