Need Plans For Chest Of Drawers

[James White]

I am in need of some plans for a chest of draws. I prefer Arts and Crafts style. I would like it to be of the size and style of the Stickley 614 http://stickleymuseum.org/blog/?p=149 .
Only without the cabinets on top. Perhaps another full size draw instead of the cabinets. A recommendation for plans or a book will be greatly appreciated. Or any suggestion for a chest of draws that you feel is simple, elegant and functional. Does not have to be "Arts and Crafts".

There is a book called Chests of Drawers: Outstanding Projects from America's Best Craftsmen (Paperback). Maybe try that and see if there is one you like.

I have the book Mike mentioned. It came from Woodcraft if I recall correctly.

James,
Woodcraft had a tallboy linen chest a few years back in their magazine.

Here is a picture. I do have a copy of the plans.

If you follow this link, the bedroom set includes a dresser. I made the entire set for my daughter and SIL. They seem happy with it.

Hi Mike/Richard,

I believe I saw that book at the bookstore. If I recall there were only plans for fairly small chests. Please correct me if I am wrong. Something 45"x60" would really be nice. It seems I never have enough storage for my cloths. I have a hard time throwing stuff away since they can always be used for shop cloths.

Greg,

That sure is a beauty. I wish it didn't have all the cabinets. My wife kept yelling at me for leaving the doors open on the armoire I used to have.

Mark,

The Stickley No. 913 Dresser seems to be what everyone is selling. It is a bit small for me especially, the top drawers.

Roger,

That is a new one for me. Is it this one here?

Do you know the dimensions?

James,

Yes - that is the correct one. The top measures 44 x 21 and it is 50 - 1/2" high. It weighs a ton.
