    Simple cherry dresser

    This was a simple cherry dresser I just finished for my second (soon to be delivered) child.

    Looks great! Love the figure on the sides!

    I still have a chest of drawers my father made for me as a child. Your new kid will cherish it when he/she gets older.

    thanks for the compliments.

    Jim, I get the plastic pipe straps for securing plumbing and screw one end to the back of the dresser and the other end to a stud in the wall.

    Plenty strong, that stuff.

    You're WAY ahead of me on this one.

    Jim,
    It was actually some leftover pieces from when I used a roll of it to hold my DC ducting to the ceiling in my garage/shop, so i figured it would work for both purposes.

    Came back for a second look at this. I really like your drawer fronts. Your choice of wood and matching across the fronts is just great to me. Alex, what's yr dovetail method?

    prashun, the dovetails were via an omnijig. I can do through dovetails by hand that are serviceable, but half blind rabbeted by hand are not something I've had the time to practice, nor with the wife wanting this done soon, something I could spend using the project to learn.
