   The second one looks a tad more difficult.

   Good links, wonder what woods they were made of?
   And if the wood fairy will drops off a few lifts of hardwood I'll whip up the second one in a weekend?

   Uh,, Yah.

   I think the first one might be a little more to my abilities.  Tell you what - if you would deliver the second one to my door, for a couple bucks, I could use it for a pattern.  Might even sneak it into the house.

   Will,
   Nice ones !

   The second one I am going to leave to your expertise to build. I am just getting the hang of making stuff flat or straight. Some times both at once ! The first one reminded me of a similar living room cabinet in diguise. This is from an old book I have called Complete Book of Home Workshops by David X. Manners from Popular Science Harper & Row

   PS: the book has plans if any of you would like me to mail you a copy : )

   Chinese style Tool Box.. I love it!

   Not for a tool box but I have made a Chinese style (tapered) chest like that. Or maybe the picture makes it look tapered. Mine had a straight back with the face and sides tapered. Modeled on a picture I found on the Web. Not as easy to make as it looks especially with well fitting miters. Fun project though.

   I cheated and had a PRO do the Red Lacquer finish. By a PRO I mean a friend that paints autos. His finishes look like mirrors!

   I could do it without the carvings.. And all the cracks in the wood in one year,,,,

   will,

   round about 1976 my room mate's mother dropped off a version of #2 in our living room.  she did not have room for it among her huge antique collection.  i never warmed up to that style although i appreciate the workmanship.  would much rather live with a room full of the #1 themed stuff.
