>Sorry guys, Here are some more photo's of the chest. The Shop Notes issue is #49. The hardware are pulls from my local hardware store, they come three in a package for $1.99. The drawer are 1/2 maple plywood with hard wood for the runners.There are no dovetails or any thing fancy with the drawers they are rabeted and pined. The bottoms of the drawers still need to be lined with felt. I am planning on selling the chest with some miscelanious tools. Doing a little spring cleaning in the shop.
