The upper chest has five large drawers plus two smaller drawers at the very top. It is an excellent project for the intermediate an advanced woodworker. You are actually purchasing two plans -- one for the upper portion of the chest and one for the lower portion. Build them together as shown or construct and use them separately. The lower section of the chest is modeled after those made around 1750. The cabinetmakers who emigrated from England often gave a Chippendale appearance to their work as exemplified by the bracket feet. Make this chest of pine, cherry, walnut, or maple. The overall dimensions of the chest: 53” tall x 34” wide x 19” deep. Clearly a watermark in your woodworking "career".

All joinery is shown in actual size, curved workpieces are all in full size and you can measure and trace straight from the drawing. A bill of materials doubles as an exact cutting list, there is a detailed exploded diagram, and all hardware requirements are provided. The exploded diagram is so detailed that project specific assembly instructions are not provided. A special booklet entitled Guide to Building Wood Furniture is included with each Furniture Designs, Inc. plan and includes many tips explaining the "component theory" of woodworking.
