New box

[Mike Golka]

Here are a couple of pics of the Cherry toy/ blanket box I recently Finished. It's about 36" x 20" x 18" Finished BLO and Watco shelac.
Thanks for looking.

Mike, that looks really, really nice!!!

Did you use a set of plans for that chest? If so, where did you get them?

Thanks!

Keith, I got the idea from a previous post here. I did a sketchup plan and went from there.

[Jim Becker]

Ooh! Very nice!!

[Michael Wildt]

Very nice.

Didn't notice some air holes in case your kid jumps in and closes the lid though.

Great looking toy chest Mike!!:)

How did you join the top end pieces - biscuits perhaps? hidden tenon?
and how are the corner posts attached to each side? ( upright to upright?)

Thanks again for sharing the pics!:D

Mike,

GREAT looking chest! I love the finish on that. How did you raise those panels?

I built two of basically that model with a set of plans I got from Furniture Designs Inc. (http://www.furnituredesigns.com/). The part I was MOST displeased with was how my finish came out (used a wipe-on poly). You can see them here: http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=51036

Again, beautiful work!

Thank you all for your kind words.
Tim, the top is done with hidden tenons.
Irvin, I got the idea from your post:D, great looking boxes! I used a vertical raised panel bit on the router table. The corners are just the mitered panel edges. I'm quite pleased with the way they came out.:DI used BLO and 4 coats of Watco shelac for the finish.
