mini Tansu Chest.
Saw a Tansu chest in Woodworkers Journal and used that as a base to downsize and make this desk top version. Grandson hinted at something like this for Christmas. So here it is. 16 1/2 inches tall and wide, 6 inches deep using 1/2" Mahogany secondary wood is Poplar.. The drawers are 4 1/2" wide and tall, 5 1/2" deep. The pulls are from Lee Valley. Finish is an Antique Oil Finish.
!/2" box joints (264 cuts) made on the router table using an Incra Ultra Jig. Freud 1/2" router bit.
Fun project.

Really nice size and look Ron!
That is a bunch of finger joints 😱!
I can see a pair of these on a desk as book ends, very classy.

That’s got to be one of the best gifts your grandson will ever get. So much thoughtful work and detail there. He’ll never let it go and will think of you every time he sees or uses it.

Really great! Your work is always top shelf (or chest in this case)

Really nice chest, the box joints are nice and tight. I'm sure your grandson will be very pleased with this gift.
crowie uses smurfs... you use animals... workshop must get crowded... no wonder people complain about space.
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
