Looking good . Thanks for posting progress photos , it is always good to follow a project
Wigan, Lancs. England :
Glued up the drawers and paring them down. Wish I had a real paring chisel, would’ve make a world of difference. Paring 200+ dovetails creates some new calluses. ouch
Any suggestions for a good paring chisel? Suggestions? 3/4″ or 1″ 1 1/2″? What size do you like or use?
@crance definitely going to teach my son early. I’ve attached a picture of him helping me make his bed, ofcourse he couldn’t really saw, but he like to hold the tools and some I would let him hold.
I must say your tails look pretty neat.
I would use a block plane on end grain or use a no. 4 with a tight mouth.
I must admit don’t own a pairing chisel and I have about 60 chisels.
Love picture of you son 😉Dagenham, Essex, England
All the drawers are done, glued up, and pared. YEAH! Now the top and bottom are next.
Very nice job. It’s coming out great.
Very nice, looking good. Nice work buddy. 😉
Looks great! I think the through dovetails look fantastic on drawer fronts – much prefer the look over half-blinds.

I have finished the chest of drawers and I’m very happy with the result. Used pine knobs and stained to a darker shade to add some contrast.
Nice job, they look great bud. 🙂
Yes I agree with the contrast of the knobs matches the end grain of the tails rather well.
Superb job all round ;0Dagenham, Essex, England
