My first real woodworking project other than small boxes and household repair stuff. Its a toy chest for my sisters newborn baby. Its built entirely by hand, not power tools used. Im not against power tools, I just wanted to learn something. the sides are rabbit joints and some finish nails (mostly because I dont have big enough large clamps). The bottom is also held with a rabbit joint and the panels are ship lapped. The hardware is all home depot stuff. Ive left it unfinished as my sister hasnt decided how she wants it yet. Learned a bunch on this project and im planning on building another for a friend soon.
