Small Chest on a Stand

[TrimTheKing]

I like it! I liked it before, but the taper on the legs really makes a difference and now I like it more.

Following on from previous comments and as this project is a bit experimental I have made a few changes. Lay out lines removed from the carcase, new stand with tapered legs and the rail on the stand reduced in depth by 5mm.

Pete - subtle impovement to the stand...better proportioned :wink:...hope you haven't drilled that hole though :roll: :lol: - Rob

No holes Rob, I thought I would play around with the stand and make it a bit more delicate. I am surprised at the effect of reducing the depth of the rails I did this progressively; the original rails looked ok on the half scale drawing, just goes to show its the real thing that matters.

Yes, Pete, that new stand is much better. Very nice indeed.

Cheers :wink:

Like that Pete, proportions look more pleasing now.

Thanks for posting.

Cheers, Paul

I think this is a lovely little piece. I'm unsure on my opinions about scribe lines - I think personally, I wouldn't have them showing on the outside of the carcass, but would perhaps leave them on the drawers, that way, nosey know-it-alls, can open the drawer and marvel in the hand-craftedness, while keep the carcass smooth and well finished.

The only thing I don't like about the piece is the stand. I love krenov stuff generally, and many of his pieces were displayed on a stand, but a small chest of drawers like this to my eye's just doesn't look right with a stand, not sure why because it's a fabulous looking piece otherwise.

I thought it was fine before but, tapering the legs has made a definite improvement!
