OOOHHH my goodness, that is a nice chest.
I think the lid is fantastic.
When you said you added sides all the way around-Did you mean that you veneered the sides all the way around ???

thanks for posting

Daveintexas, No i did not veneer the sides. They are 1/4 inch pieces of walnut, added to the sides of the top. So I had enough room on the bottom and the top to hide the plywood and veneer. So I made the top 1/4 smaller all the way around then with the 1/4 inch sides added the top fit all thge way to the outsides of the box. Thanks to every one who left feedback. Thanks for all the kind words. Dave

I know why they call it a hope chest. We all hope to make one that nice some day

excellent work. I notice you have a vaccume press. I work at a hospital and was able to get a very nice vaccume pump that was taken out of service. I need to get bags. Where did you get yours?

-- Michael A. Brailsford

You can order the bags or buy the vinyl material from joewoodworker.com They have all the stuff you need to make it. The fittings, glue and pump stuff. Good prices as well.
