The 9-Drawer Tabletop Storage Chest
Nine
drawers of storage plus a roomy top bin give you plenty of space for tools,
collectibles, sewing supplies or whatever !
You
can never have too much organized storage space for your “stuff”…whatever
that may be.
And, whether you’re planning to store tools, craft supplies, collectibles
or other personal “treasures”, this Chest could be just what
you’ve been looking for…for three great reasons.
First, it’s easy to build. No fancy cuts or complicated joinery
here. Made entirely of straight cuts plus a few dadoes and rabbets, everything
butts together, providing an excellent exercise in the importance of making
accurate cuts.
Secondly, this project goes together FAST. Simple joinery and ready-made
plastic drawers (we’ll tell you where to get them) cut your production
times way down so even a beginning woodworker should be able to build
this project in a single weekend.
And finally, the top compartment is lockable so, you’ll be able to protect your valuable “stuff” from prying eyes and little hands.
We built ours from poplar, but you could just as easily make it from any hardwood…or even veneered plywoods, if you like. If you choose the latter, your dimensions will, of course, have to be adjusted to accommodate solid hardwood edge banding or veneer-type edging tapes.
The drawers are available from Baumbach Engineering out of Mountain View,
CA. on-line at www.DandyDrawers.com...or by phone (650-968-0898). Choose
from bright red, light blue, light green, yellow or white. Our plans call
for their 8” sized drawers (10” & 12” models are
also offered), which are available in 6-packs (all same color) for $9.50…or
12-packs for $16.50. Drawer dividers are also available.
