After lots of help from you guys and gals over the last year or so, I
finally broke down and built a piece of furniture that wasn't just a
chunk of wood on legs (I call them tables, but know better).

Anyway, the walnut dresser cum chest is done. A few pics are at:

Happy to say it's all joinery, except the screws holding the hinges,
handles and the hard board back. Do wish I'd been able to find a
single 12' X 4" hunk of 8/4 for the drawer fronts so they'd match in
shade and grain, but I couldn't.

It was a bit of work, but fun, and a learning experience. My wife gave
me a sign that hangs in the gara-shop:

"We don't make mistakes, we do variations"

Seems appropriate.

Thanks to all for advice. Regards.

Tom
