Lowboy
Norman's lowboy. This item of furniture had multiple uses from dressing table to dinning room side table, which is what it will be used for in the San Fran house.
Those legs are very slender and so in the model are integral with the 'chests' corners. A jig made for milling out the curves. That new lamp is a boon. why didn't I get one ages ago.
The scaled copies of the aprons used to guide the fretsaw.
before assembling in the fixture.
Ready for the top.
The first frame assembled. Front and draws still to do.
Drawers made and being varnished.

Having pre-cut the side and back tangs, trim them to fit the slots in the legs.
Glue the side pieces and legs,
