I thought I'd post some pics of a WIP on a little apprentice chest.
It's an 19th Century English/Australian style chest made from Australian Red Cedar.
About 7" high, 6" wide.
Mostly hand tools, but the bandsaw has been getting a workout.
Hand cut mortice/tenons and dovetails. I'll be turning little knobs and bun feet.
Who knows, I may be able to use it as a reference for an apprenticeship if I decide on a career change later in life :U
Front frame and molded base.

Putting the back and front together.

Drawer runners and guides added. Sides attached.

Fitting the drawer fronts and adding the groove for the drawer bottoms.
The slot was too small for any of my plough cutters, so they were made with a tenon saw kerf and widened with a side rebate plane.

Here's where I'm up to now.
Cutting tiny half blind dovetails.

I'll post some more pics when I get some more time in the shop (unless you tell me to stop :B)
