Hi Adam
Welcome to LJs
You’ve done a wonderful job on this dresser and bed side table.

I love it. These are quite literally the reason I picked up woodworking.

Do you have a link to the originals?

Thanks for the feedback gentlemen. I appreciate it.

madwilliamflint, I just spent some time trying to locate plans for the original but I was unsuccessful. I do have a link that has a picture of the original from Mr. Becksvoort’s website. You just have to scroll down a bit to see it.

I saw the basic plans (basically a 3 dimensional drawing of the parts semi-assembled) in a copy of Fine Woodworking. I believe it was FWW #206. I say this because Mr. Becksvoort’s website includes all of his articles published in FWW and #206 sounds familiar.

Love it…. pine is my favourite. I made the same mistake as you many years ago with a knot on a stile that ended up “bending” it.
Congratulations for completing such a great piece!

Beautiful job Adam. I like pine, especially for a piece like this.

Welcome to LJs. It will be great to see more of your work in the future.

Nice job, Adam. The dovetails look great! Thanks for sharing.

Great pieces, they look great. I can’t shake the feeling that that door on the nightstand will warp soon if not secured with breadboard ends, or battens attatched from behind or something. Is there a reason you left it without a frame or the like?

Thanks for the feedback.

JaLatham, I didnt’ really think of putting breadboard ends or battens but that may have been a good idea. I copied the bedside table from two that I have and they don’t have any battens or breadboard ends…”knock on wood” they haven’t warped and I’ve owned them since 2006. That being said, you make a good point and I may end up having to do that if they move on this project.

Nothing wrong with Pine my friend, true early american style.

Plus, if your son beats it up, it doesn’t hurt AS much, ha
