I am wanting to make a chest of drawers or cabinet for the living room. And have been finalising my design.
Here are a couple of pictures of what I am thinking about.
living chest 9 leg inset (800x441).jpglivingroom chest on legs 2 (800x441).jpg
The first one is what I would really like but am wondering if I may need to have extra support under for strength.
The legs are basically attached to a box. they are ofset from the box and attach via small brackets(outrunners?)
What do you think? Doable?
The chest is about 700mm overall and 820 high.
Legs about 30mm square with an external curve from bottom to top.
Thinking of ash for the box and walnut for the legs. Your thoughts
I live in Japan but imported wood from the US is cheaper than local hardwood.
Another thing...I have a neandre workshop and have to do everything with hand tools only so what kind of joinery would be good?
