I just finished an old style joiners chest. Thought I would share some pictures. ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2019/10/full-45537-19635-img_1269.jpg) All done by hand ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2019/10/full-45537-19636-img_1270.jpg) Dovetailed corners, with opposing skirt and apron. ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2019/10/full-45537-19637-img_1271.jpg) Saw tills in the lid ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2019/10/full-45537-19638-img_1272.jpg) Two sliding tills. ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2019/10/full-45537-19639-img_1273.jpg) And a molding plane till. ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2019/10/full-45537-19640-img_1274.jpg) The slides for the tills are red oak ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2019/10/full-45537-19641-img_1275.jpg) The till bottoms are white oak. The interior is finished with a coat of shellac and waxed. The exterior with three coats of boiled linseed oil and waxed. The main body is white pine. I went from rough lumber to finished product completely by hand. No power tools. I have about 60 hours in it. It took that long because of inexperience. Prior to this I had cut a grand total of four dovetails. The lid is mortice and tenon frame with a raised panel. I ruined six pieces before I got the frame correct. Definatly a learning experience!

Incredible workmanship, very, very nice!
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

That is some high end dead tree carcass wrangling right there.
