Dovetailed Blanket Chest

Very nice!
I have something very similar on my to do list as well.

what do you mean,those dovetails look pretty damn good to me,especially if those are your first.congrats. 😎

What a beautiful gift!! Looks great.

That is a very nice chest, great dovetails you managed t cut by hand. It will be a long cherrished gift for the couple. Well done.

Thanks all for the kind comments. I built the chest some time back but was using it to see if I could post in the projects section and what it took to do that. I messed it up, ended up with a double post that I had to ask Cricket to remove.

Excellent workmanship !

Excellent chest!!!!!!!!!!An heirloom for sure!!........Jim

Nothing wrong with those tails! Nice job. I built one a few years ago that was smaller than this. It had 32 dove tails. I spent about as much time sharpening chisels as I did building. That chest weighed a ton! I bet yours is even heavier.

Classic build! Really old school work. Congrats.

Those dovetails look really good to me. That’s a lot to cut too. You went big and it paid off. Well done.
