Sorry to go OT Rob, but how are you holding that bowl on the lathe?
I do not think therefore I do not am.

Just the outside turned at the moment Andy, held on with one of these bad boys and a few screws for good measure. Inside turned tomorrow using the Evoloution SK114 chuck and some dovetail 'C' jaws - Rob

Of course, :eusa-doh:

I wrongly assumed it was already hollowed.

Finished and installed, with the help of my neighbour, this massive Korean style chest of drawers.

The frame is in 40mm sq Euro Oak, domino'd and glued with Cascamite (owing to it's long open time in the hot weather last year). The panels are 2mm thick bandsawn Brown Oak veneers, glued over a 6mm mr mdf substrate with a 2mm pine backing veneer, again sawn on the bandsaw. A small round over bit was used to create a soft edge on all sections.

The back consists of three veneered panels, again made with 2mm oak veneers over a 4mm ply substrate and 2mm pine backing veneers, glued and pined in place.

All the drawer boxes are made from 7mm quarter sawn oak, using Cedar of Lebanon bottoms with drawer slips. Drawer fronts are made using a stack laminated pine core, which when re-sawn gives a quarter sawn pine board. These are then lipped and veneered with 2mm thick Brown Oak veneers and a 2mm pine backing veneer. Pulls are made using Indian Ebony, morticed into the drawer fronts. Each drawer runs on an oak runner underneath the muntin(s) and the fronts are fixed in place with 16mm Torx screws. For a full account of how this type of drawer is made (and it's advantages) see Rob Ingham's excellent tome 'Cutting Edge Cabinetmaking'.

The stand is made from Euro Oak and is located onto the underside of the chest of drawers with four 8mm dowels. Ten 60mm screws join the stand to the chest in counterbored holes. Finish is a couple of coats of satin OsmoPolyX with beeswax over the top. Handles are polished using shellac and Renaissance wax - Rob

Stunning! :text-bravo:

Excellent work as ever.

I'm a little curious about the rails touching the floor and not just legs.
It sort of looks like the bottom drawer is missing. :D

Does this have domestic authority appoval? a cleaning nightmare I'd have thought.

I think I'd have extended the corner posts to form legs and yet a lot of your work is on stands so there must be a reason?

Have a look on page 1 of this thread Bob and you'll see where the 'inspiration' came from...the bottom rail touching the floor is a feature of this sort of Korean style furniture.
To clarify, it has full 'domestic approval' as there isn't very much that SWIMBO can't get to with her Dyson :D - Rob

Thanks Rog....you don't really want to know what went pear shaped with this one :( but, as they say in the military, I 'adapted and overcame' - Rob

Thanks; have a look on page 1 of this thread to see where the idea came from. I think my version is probably bigger than the original - Rob

Rob, very nice and neat, excellent job. :eusa-clap: :obscene-drinkingcheers:

Not in favour of it sitting directly on the floor, cleaning, bumping etc. Just personal taste.
