Heirloom
Collector's Cabinet
by Dean Holzman
Set aside a weekend and
some clear maple lumber for building this old-fashioned piece. The mullioned door
and batten back add authenticity.
Blanket
Chest
by Rick White
This charming cherry chest bypasses mortise-and-tenon
joints in favor of rabbets and laps, making it easy to build without compromising
strength or capacity.
Your
Own Steamer Trunk
by Rick White
You'll probably never use this
sturdy, handsome trunk for an ocean voyage, but it's the perfect accent piece
at the foot of the bed for storing winter blankets.
Eastern
Shore Chest
by Bill Hylton
Here's the perfect project for expanding
your routing skills. It combines cope-and-stick joints with sliding dovetails
and raised panels.
Jelly
Cupboard Reproduction
by Tim Johnson
To learn furniture design,
reproduce an antique. The original of this piece was built entirely with hand
tools, so for a real trip back in time,-try doing the same.
Angler's
Cabinet
by Rick White
If you love to fish, you're sure to have
a closet full of fishing gear to contend with. This handsome pine angler's cabinet
provides plenty of storage for rods, tackle boxes, and waders.
Early
American Dresser
by Stuart Barron
Walk a mile in the shoes of
a colonial cabinetmaker, and you'll learn a lot about how an heirloom is made.
This piece even has a not-so-secret drawer.
Scandinavian-Style
Sideboard
by Rick White
A short base and a broad, low cabinet
define a sideboard. This one has flush-fit drawers and doors and a beveled top
for that Scandinavian flavor.
Bowfront
Bureau
by Rick White
Bending wood can be challenging, but these
graceful curves can be managed with simple jigs and bendable plywood.
Backyard
Barbecue Cart
by David Larson
You can wheel this sturdy, Corian-topped
cart around on the deck or patio, and it's roomy enough to store all your outdoor
cooking utensils plus a couple of bags of charcoal.
Arts
and Crafts Hutch
by Bruce Kieffer
Building an exquisite piece
like this is a labor of love. This hutch is not a reproduction, but a totally
new design based on traditional mission-era furniture.
Cherry
China Cabinet
by Rick White
This china cabinet features classic
clean lines, gentle arches, and hidden hardware. It's amply sized to store all
your table finery, with glass upper doors for displaying your treasures.
Greene
and Greene-Inspired Dresser
by Mike McGlynn
This chest of drawers
has an extraordinary number of parts, and putting them together requires logic
and care but the results will be well worth the trouble.
Weekend
Toy Box
by Mike McGlynn
Safe and sturdy, stylish and practical,
this weekend project is easy to build, and it will remain useful as a keepsake
chest or a bench long after the kids have left home.
Flat-Screen
TV Cabinet
by Mike McGlynn
Here's a modern cabinet with a tricky
motorized lift for your flat-screen TV set. It's a slick way to make that dead-black
box go away when you aren't watching it.
Ruhlmann
Cabinet
by Mike McGlynn
This entertainment center is likely
to be the trickiest project you'll ever tackle, but it's also likely to be one
of the most rewarding.
