Cherry and Walnut night stand, design
The nine-drawer dresser project was a huge success. Julie and I are enjoying it, and I’ll admit to taking particular pleasure in hauling the Ikea thing to the dump and tossing it over the side. Now the ugliest thing left in our bedroom is the night stand next to my side of the bed. It’s the last remaining piece from my original bedroom set, bought at auction over 30 years ago. It’s small, and it’s sad-looking because the fake ebony veneer has flaked off in multiple places. And there’s no matching night stand...

With the completion of the drawers, I was almost done. Case Back The case back is very simple: a piece of 1/4-inch cherry plywood cut to fit. My case was 47-3/4 inches wide inside the rabbets at the back, but I knew I was a tiny bit off square so I laid out the sheet against my case and marked the cut line with a pencil. I laid out my saw track on the line and cut it there, then trimmed the extra 1/4 inch off one edge. A little tuning with my block plane made it fit nicely. The biggest challenge with the back was its very pronounced warp....

The only components left to make for this dresser were the drawers and the back panel. I tackled the drawers next. Drawers This piece is going in Julie’s and my bedroom, so I wanted to do something more aesthetically pleasing than my usual lock rabbet drawer boxes. I chose to use half-blind dovetails. That meant making my drawer boxes a size that would work well with the half-blind dovetail pattern, leaving an exact half pin at the top and bottom of each piece. My drawer cavity heights are 10 inches at the bottom, 8 inches for the...

With my main dresser case assembled, I was ready to make and fit the walnut base and top. Base The base for this piece is pretty simple: four legs, 1-3/4 x 1-3/4 x 7, and four stretchers connecting them. I bought a 2 x 2 x 30-inch walnut turning blank so that I wouldn’t have to buy a big piece of 8/4 stock just to get these four small legs. This base will be bearing the weight of the finished piece and its contents, so strength is important. I’m using mortise and tenon joinery. I used a 1/4-inch upcut spiral bit in the router...

My dresser build started with a trip to Woodcraft in Rockville. They had some beautiful cherry and walnut pieces in 4/4, which I snapped up. I had intended to use soft maple for the frames and drawer boxes, but they didn’t have anything near the board feet I needed for that and what they did have had a lot of discoloration. So I picked up one piece of maple to make frames and turned to poplar for the drawer box stock. Normally I dislike the green color of poplar, but Woodcraft had a decent amount of nice, creamy-colored poplar in...

As I mentioned in my recent planer-related post, Julie and I need a new dresser. Truthfully, we need a bedroom set — what we have now is a hodgepodge of mismatched, craptastic pieces from Ikea, Target, and Mattress Discounters — but I’m starting with the dresser because that need is particularly dire. A couple of years ago I saw this in Woodsmith #148 and fell in love with it: I like the two-toned look (as you can tell from, well, most of the other projects on this blog!), which in this case is achieved by staining the top,...

This is another fast and easy scrap wood project that I designed and built in a couple of hours. It started when I bought a new Google Pixel C tablet. The Pixel C is a beautiful tablet, but since I didn’t buy the optional accessory keyboard to go with it I had nothing to hold it upright on the table — something I do a lot when I’m reading something and following along on the computer. (I read a lot of books about programming and geeky stuff like that.) I figured I’d see what was out there and ran across this...

Mine is a very geeky family, as I’ve admitted before. We play a lot of D&D. As a result, we have a bunch of different gaming accessories (in fact, gaming is a primary use of the snack tables I built a while ago). This scrap wood project is another byproduct of that. My son Ben used to have a nifty device we called a dice tower. It was a rectangular box made of poplar, I think, and styled to look sort of like a castle tower. One dropped dice into a hole in the top and they would come out the bottom, having bounced off a few...

The toy chest was taking shape nicely. I glued together the bits that I had done and went to work on the rest. Drawers Usually I tend to make simple box drawers with rabbet joints and a false front, but kids are very hard on drawers — I figured I needed to step up my game. When you think “hierloom-quality furniture” you of course think of dovetailed drawers. Dovetails are traditional and very pretty to look at, and when people see that distinctive profile they tend to go, “Oooooh, craftsmanship!” (Never mind...

Arms The arms sit atop the legs, flush on the inside and rear while overhanging by 3/4 inch on the front and outer edges. The rounded-off rectangle in the plan seemed a little boring to me, though, so I added in a slight taper to create some much-needed visual interest. Since I was now dealing with a very irregular shape, I made a template out of spare poplar and drew my final arm shape on that. Before cutting the template to shape, I measured out for the five 11/32″ dowel holes I would need in the underside of each arm, centered...
