Finally done with this Shaker blanket chest.
Plans are from Fine Woodworking. I made the chest taller so it would fit under a window, at a height where the cats can easily see outside.
Made from alder from Wall Lumber. I ordered 3 20bft UPS bundles. Really good wood and fast delivery. Ordered on monday, and got wood on saturday in CA.
Dovetails on case were cut with a Keller dovetail jig. Drawer and base dovetails were cut with an akeda. My next project will be hand cut, I swear.
Finish is General Finishes, Arm-R-Seal and Seal-R-Cell. 4 coats in total.
Hinges are from Horton Brasses. These were the 4th set of hinges I ordered, and the ones I liked the most. Also the most expensive. I think I got the knobs from Horton also.
The stays are from Lee Valley. I also bought 4 sets of those from various venders. These are also very nice and easy to install.
