#1 Jan's dresser and mirror
|
This is how it all got started - we needed a bedroom set. After looking at the cost of dressers and such I said to myself - "heck I can buy the wood and the tools and still be money ahead!" Of course that assumed that I actually knew how to turn wood into furniture......
I have been a machinist and machine builder for 36 years - how hard can it be to work with wood anyway? Well, it is both easier and harder than I thought but it IS doable!
The first piece - Jan's Dresser and Mirror. This was made from plans in - you guessed it - Woodsmith Magazine. I changed the wood type from Cherry to Quartersawn Red Oak. Jan and I are both pretty happy with how it came out although I wish I had made the piece 2" taller and made the bottom drawers correspondingly deeper.
