This was done by hand and CNC so it gets put into “Everything Else” but its going to house my ever growing collection of materials for the Glowforge and I thought it might be of interest.
The overall build is 30 by 30 by 15 deep. Each drawer has about 26 by 13 by 2.5 inches of space. There are 10 pairs of 100 lb rated drawer slides and some snazzy antique label frame pull hardware. Seen here with human for scale:
That is so way better than what I did… I got Lowe’s to cut me some shelves out of the cheapest plywood they had, and made shelves in the closet of my office where the laser is. And Lowe’s being Lowe’s, not all of them are cut correctly so some of them are teetering precariously on shelf pins. But your solution is so much prettier and more sturdy!
Nice attention to detail there. Those drawer fronts that are butterfly cuts are killer. Woodgrain is nature’s art, great storage solution. That is excellent work man.
As a fellow woodworker, I have to say kudos. The choice of wood is fantastic. Love the figure. What I really appreciate is the way you cut the wood so the grain remains intact. Looks like you used two boards or one long one cut in half and then lined up. Love it. What did you cut the finger joints with? A jig or by hand?
Thanks @djfb The drawer fronts are from a single 1 inch thick Cherry board resawed to 3 slices at about 3/8 each on the bandsaw. I tried to mirror the grain as best I could, but one end was super dark. The finger joints where done on CNC using a jig I built that holds the panels to the front of the machine (like the store bought dovetail jigs usually do)
Oh gosh, I want that! It’s so beautiful you could decorate a room around it. Can you imagine a whole craft room completely furnished like that? A girl can dream…
great project
