Chest of Drawer Plans - Woodworking Talk

Tom5151 · 09-11-2009, 12:42 PM

Hello,

I would like to make a couple of matching chest of drawer units for either side of our bed in a little cabin we have in the woods. The decor of the bedroom is very rustic. It's all tongue and groove knotty pine on the walls and ceiling. I'd like the drawers to be simple, plain and also made out of pine. I have searched the internet for plans but everything is too "fancy" and ornate. I just need something simple that I can adapt. Maybe 3 or 4 drawers at most. Simple straight clean lines. The idea is rustic and functional as opposed to elaborate and fancy....

Can anyone point me in the right direction for plans for this type of project?

Thanks in advance.
Tom

I recommend you download Google Sketchup and design something that meets your needs. It's not as difficult as it looks at first.
