CAD design of the toy chest. The legs, rails and lid will be
made from cherry. The panels will be made from solid maple.
CAD design. Sides and back were removed for clarity.
10/19/08. Milled the legs to rough length and width from 8/4
cherry.
10/25/08. Milled the curve in the legs on all eight legs.
10/26/08. Finished the rails and mortised for the loose tenons.
The blue tape denotes which face I want on the outside. If I didn't
have the tape I would risk having the ugly side out due to the hectic
nature of glue up.
11/09/08. I finished the assembly of the toy boxes minus the
lids. The panels were pre-finished with sprayed (hvlp) polyurethane.
I still need to scrape/sand a little glue squeeze out.
11/24/08. Finished with three coats of polyurethane (hvlp).
