    On the table saw. Used a maglock fence to hold it upright against the fence, and just guided it through and planed it.

    Good job on the back. Sensei told me no one looks at the back but I reckon it makes all the difference when you carry it in to the customers house and you don't care what side they see.

    G'day Alex,

    Love the chest of drawers, as always it's up to your very high standard.

    lovely job indeed.
    how big is the chest AlexS ?
    also, the Ubeaut finish-does it handle heat and moisture like varnish ?

    Top job!
    .
    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

    Regards, Woodwould.

    Really nice, love the simple lines, that's a "save picture as" for inspiration later on.
    Try to look unimportant, they may be low on ammo.

    Thanks Steve. Because it will be used initially as a change table, the back will be visible, and anyway, you never know who's going to look at it.

    Size is 700w x 950h x 430d. I used the Ubeaut hard shellac because it's a bit more durable than straight shellac. A chest I did for my older daughter a few years ago has withstood coffee cups etc pretty well.

    Nice work Alex!

    I do like the back... You can put chests of drawers in the middle or the room, right???

    Cheers,
    Dave
