Hi Folks,
At the request of a couple of members I looked for and found the sketches of the plane till I made 10 years ago. The dimensions can be easily varied to suit your own needs. Note that the frame material was a full 1" thick poplar so you might have to vary the dimensions of the rabbets and dadoes to suit your own particular thickness of stock. I will make a separate post in this thread with pictures of the till under construction and finished. The dividers are resawn pieces of scrap mahogany cutoffs surfaced down to 1/4" thickness and housed in stopped dadoes.
Warning, there were electrons killed in the making of this storage unit. There was no way I was going resaw by hand all the dividers and I had no masochistic desire to do 60 stopped dadoes with a hand saw, chisel, and router plane. The paint is Lexington Green milk paint and it is finished with paste wax. The knobs for the lifting section are turned from ebony and finished with shellac.
I hope the plans are of use to you.
