for when she is sixteen

Very very nice box. I really like the ALL wood aspect of this work. You did a fine job on this and I love the front clasp and the way you designed the “stay” to keep the lid open.

Great job.

A great job again. Your insight always amazes this rookie. Love the all wood aspect but most important

I admire the finished project and the planning and knowledge it represents

That’s a beautiful chest. I’m assuming the drawers rotate up as the lid is raised. Great design. I can see why you won first in show. Thanks so much for sharing

That is a very clever chest. With a lot of doweling! Love the catch and lid stop (very innovative).

I really like it sir. I can’t tell how big it is and how do the drawers work? I love the hinge however I idon’t know the process. More pictures are in order if you don’t mind. Love it.

My daughter just turned 16. I made her a hope chest when she was a little girl, and my wife filled it with linen and put her wedding dress in. The kid thinks it’s nice, but she didn’t want us to take this the wrong way or anything, (her words) but she would really prefer a car…... No sense of what’s important in life anymore, these kids.

-- Adventure? Heh! Excitement? Heh! A Woodworker craves not these things!

Great looking chest. Your attention to detail is fantastic! It really makes the world of difference!

Knap gedaan! ;)
