Step 1:
For this project i used 2 Douglas fir boards one 1 inch thick and 1 1/2 inch thick both 6 inches wide.
I cut the 1 inch board into 5 x 12 inch sections these will be the top bottom and 3 drawer sections. I also 2 x 12 of the 1/2 inch boards these will go between the draw sections.
I put all the boards though the thickness planer before putting them in the order i wanted them to be placed in box.
Step 2:
Next i take 3 1 inch drawer boards and draw out the plan for the drawers using a compass for the curved drawers.
The designing of the drawers takes a while if you want to use the space well, but you are free to design any style of draw you wish. I had some square and some oval the oval ones can be pushed or pulled out of the box.
Step 3:
I then cut all the drawers out leaving the frame for these.
I then glued frame for the drawers in place. After the glue had dried i sanded and used sand sealer before gluing the box together leaving the drawers out .
Step 4:
I used wood glue and clamps to glue main box together.
The box is now complete time to get the drawers cut.
Step 5:
Cut the draw front off first.
Then cut base and then the main draw leaving about 1/4 inch outer edge on the drawer. This is shown in more detail in the attached photos and the linked video.
Step 6:
Now to finish box and drawers using sand sealer 2 coats and sanding with 400 grit after each coat. I then used a spray lacquer to finish.
To finish the inside of the drawer i used saude tex with a matching glue.
Step 7:
Thats the box all finished.
