High-Style Tall Chest

Building a maple chest like this might seem a little intimidating, but with our step-by-step plan and a little patience, you can get the job done. We used mortise and tenon joinery for the frame, and dovetail joints on the drawers.

Plan includes lots of shop tips & techniques—like how to create traditional bead trim, how to cut your cove moldings on the table saw, and an easy way to rout dadoes using a simple router guide.

Overall dimensions: 41-1/2" W x 21-7/8" D x 69" H
