Description

This miniature chest of drawers is a crowd-pleaser because small pieces of furniture are always eye-catching. They’re instantly the center of attention, whether sized as a child’s toy, a salesman’s sample, or a jewelry box. This 5-drawer chest is no different.

Miniature Chest of Drawers

In this 5-day class, you’ll make a 1/3 scale miniature chest of drawers. You’ll start with a classic Queen Anne design for a full-size chest and scale it down to make the perfect conversation piece. Here is your chance to show off (or develop) all your woodworking skills.

Not enamored with a simple Queen Anne chest, let’s work together and add quarter columns and ogee feet to bring out your inner Chippendale. Or maybe dress it up a bit with a little line and berry inlay. Maybe your style is more mid-century modern, we can do that too. Small class sizes allow you to customize this (and almost any other) project to your wants and needs.

 

 

Some of the skills you will learn in this class:

  • How to scale a project up or down in size
  • Traditional case joinery
  • Selecting wood for color and figure to maximize impact

Materials are not included in the class fee. Lumber for this project may be purchased through us or on your own and shipped to our shop at least four weeks prior to the class.

Each student should supply his, or her, own:

  • Safety glasses and hearing protection
  • Combination or machinist square
  • Bevel gauge
  • Bench chisels
  • Carvers mallet
  • Dovetail saw
  • Marking gauge
  • Smooth plane or jack plane
  • Block plane
  • Tape measure or folding rule

If you do not have the tools on the list, don’t panic, there are plenty of tools for your use in class.
