A small, three drawer chest of drawers, that my 8 yr old Grandson can use.....will try to build as careful as I can, so I don't spring any "leaks"
usually, a Frame & Panel case is made.....rather than a glued up slab. Unable to resaw the 2 x4s down into 4/4 x 3" that I like to use...bandsaw issues. Maybe do a glue-up like I used for the Stepback Cupboards.....and use a sliding dovetail to connect the sides to the webframes....maybe a separate face frame? Same with the top, just a glued up panel, attached to corner blocks.
Drawer size: may just make all three the same. Three full width drawers, using 1 x8s. Maybe 24" or so wide.
Now have a supply of Cut-resistant gloves. My son works at a factory that makes windows for cars and trucks....brought home a pair from there. Trying to limit using the chisels on this Project.
May go looking around...and see IF there is some 5/4 Pine available. Might be able to use that to make a frame & panel.....if not ( or they want too much $$$) I go with the glue-up sides.
Will not be anything real fancy, but needs to hold up to a 8yr old boy. We don't call him GrandBRAT for nothing....
Stay tuned....have one month to get something done...
