I stumbled across this fantastic free online software by Harder Woods for printing cutting templates to joint two cylinders together. You can choose different size cylinders and add an offset for a...

Thanks for the continued responses. I do have the Chest of Drawers book and it does have a similar dresser, but there are a couple differences that I've been having trouble with conceptually. The...

Initially I had been planning on using loose tenon joinery to join the horizon and vertical members of the face frame. The otherday it hit me that the horizontal rails are more than 60" long... I'm...

Hello James, greetings from just down the road :-)...

I was curious how your recent experience with DSI went? I called them today requesting pricing on Baltic Birch (below). I must not be...

Plans revised, does this look about right for the webframes?

Edit - I see that you recommned screws and glue when attaching the webframe to the face frame.

Thanks Lee! I appologize for my novice questions, but the dresser design that I'm working on has 2" corner posts which extend beyond the face frame and side panels (see 1st picture). How would I...

Great advice, I'm drawing it up now. As far as attaching it to the face frame, would I need to rabbit it, or would a glue joint suffice?

I like the idea of adding a divider but have a couple questions. since the top couple rows have three drawers, would I cap off the divider just below them? Attaching the inside drawer slide wouldn't...

I'm not sure, it appeared to be solid or at least well veneered :-). I may plan another visit

Excellent advice on adding structure to the top and bottom!

Recently my wife and I took a look around a local furniture store (proclaimed to be amish). We came across a bedroom suite that looked very nice and appeared to be a more suitable for our home than a...

Thanks again for all of the feedback. I understand the differences between the two a little better now. Also I think I'll probable stick with making a drawer with a false front for now.

Excellent! Thanks for the feedback, it was exactly what I needed. I've spent a couple hours going over all of the blum documentation. Most of it makes perfect sense, but I am having trouble...

Ahhh... That explanation helps a great deal. In all of the 9 drawer chest designs that I've reviewed, none had utilized such a method. Maybe this is because all of the designs had the 3 drawer...

My OCD won't allow me to quit updating this thread, or at least I hope it's OCD...:) At least I'm not responding to myself!!... Maybe that wouldn't be too bad a thing if my one of my other...

Is there anyone out there???

I've added more detail added to the sketch, please let me know if this appears to be the correct approach. I'm also not sure how best to integrate blum tandems on the...

Hello all. Well, I'm officially the owner of a large pile of lumber :D! I bought 300 bdft of air dried red oak the other day from a nice fella off of craigslist. I'm gonna turn it into something one...

Spent some more time reading through my books... I feel foolish that I just found that the proper construction technique for my previous question was to create a lap joint for the verticle peice...
...

The top rail is wider than the drawer dividers. I'm trying to understand if the top rail is a 3/4" board on edge or if it is a 1.5" board. I've attached a couple images if you could let me know which...

I tried mocking the middle section up in sketchup, but it's getting too complicated :p... Maybe I can articulate my request for more detail.

In the picture the upper and lower sections have...

Thanks! I will definately look at White Oak.



Gotchya on going with .75" face frame members. When you say vary the widths, do you mean that you think the ~1.5" top rail is a .75" board turned...

I had a few more questions/advice requests and sorry for queing up and stacking so many questions! :o


1. Would this dresser look oak if made out of red oak and stained a darker shade? This is...

Thanks for the tips Steve. I had thought about using a small beading bit and making small trim type pcs to install around the drawer opening. I started reading about methods of directly beading the...

Back again! i had the books for a couple weeks and am really enjoying them especially chests of drawers. I'm learning a lot going through them, but I still have a couple concerns that aren't...

Thanks everyone, I pulled the trigger on the book.

So you think that book would be more appropriate than the "Chest of Drawers" book? After already dropping $30 on one cabinet making book, I'm a little gun shy about ending up with another so I'd...
