I want plans!
Hi Denver1,
I can draw up a set of plans for the chest. Click on GKL, next to member it will bring up my website. You can send me an email and we can talk about a set of plans.
The panels were about 3/8 inch thick if memory serves me and glued up from narrower boards. The dovetails and pins on the corners are not really necessary. The slats in the coopered lid have beveled edges that slide under the next slat. The coopered lid was a challenge to build as it was designed on the table saw bed, making it up as I went along, with a lot of head scratching! I have built two chests from Paduke and it is not fun to work with. I would pick another wood and stain it next time!!! The tray was a piece of cake compared to the chest.
Very nice. Substantial yet graceful; that's a pretty good trick.
I'm curious as to how the underside of the lid looks "alternating." I've usually seen coopered lids that are relatively "smooth" on the interior. How did you get your look? Did you attach other pieces to reinforce the lid?
