Popular Post icpwolverine Posted November 5, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 My wife has a lot of summer dresses and other nice clothes that she's had to fold or roll up to put in the dresser. That being said I decided to make her a closet wardrobe thinga ma jig. Its a work in progress. Still got 2 drawers to make as well as the doors. But she can start hanging dresses in the mean time. Its made out of a sheet of maple plywood and red oak. The drawers will be out of pine and not stained or painted with red oak faces. Ill upload what I have now and add it it as I go. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 i have one very similar to that, that my dad made for my mom for a place they had out in the country. After their passing, we sold the place and it’s the only thing I kept. We still use it to this day. I see you’re a new member and if I haven’t welcomed you already, glad to have you amongst us!

icpwolverine Posted November 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 On my way home from a long week of trucking to continue building on this closet. Gotta make the drawers. Will probably go with finger joints. I would do the dovetails but don't have the dovetail guide jig. And I'm not experienced enuf with hand tools to cut them out. So I figure next best thing is finger joints. The doors will be made out of the maple plywood and trimmed along the edges with 1/4" thick red oak to match the sides of the closet. Im also going to add in the middle where the doors close together, thin strips of red oak glued and bent to shape a heart. At least I hope. Never attempted wood bending but seen a few vids on it. Hopefully I can pull it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
