    Default Mini Chest of Drawers

    Gday, Another little box, measures 5" tall x 4 1/2" wide x 1 3/4" deep. It's made out of walnut stained pine, with a tasmanian spalted myrtle top. The drawers are lined with black flocking. Gotta gets some more wood glue. Hope you like it, Harry
    Ps. See if you can spot the mistake I made. It's shown in the exploded view, and I didn't notice it till I was about to glue it all up!

    Nice. Bit different to usual bandsaw boxes.

If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life."

    I can’t see any mistake you’ve made. Is there really a mistake in it?

    Hi bosox, the mistake isn't in the finished box, but in the cut out pieces on the table

    Thanks Cha, The mistake I was refering to was that I cut two of the drawers the wrong way up, as it shows in the first photo. A bit of wood glue and Bobs your uncle. Cheers Harry

    Thumbs up

    Nice one torchwood
    anyone can make a mistake but only a true artisan can recover it and a master artisan
    can even turn it into a feature.
