I don’t know about the rest of the world, but here in the USA almost every home has a drawer designated as the “junk” drawer. Scissors, tape, batteries, bits of string and the like are found in this drawer. I now have three such drawers. I used the lumber that I had on hand and designed around that. The case and secondary drawer wood is pine and the drawer fronts are from sassafras left over from the wall clock build. I graduated the drawers in size from top to bottom. Rough dimensions are as follows; 14″W x 10″H x 6.25″D. I couldn’t find hardware that I liked so I made my own. The knobs are multi strand tack knots tied with #96 tarred nylon and are graduated from top to bottom to match the drawers. The finish is salmon milk paint, shellac and wax. This is my first attempt at a multi drawer case. They all are a piston fit and when you close one quickly the others spring open. I’m really happy with this one.
P.S. Forgot to mention that I scalloped the bottom edges and added feet so that it will be easy to pick up and carry to a work location. Shamelessly stole this idea from David Barron.
