Tapered Leg Bachelors Breast
Last calendar month I shared amongst you lot guys my Tall Tapered Leg dresser, that I had built for our bedroom. I wanted to build a couplet of large nightstands that coordinated, but weren't likewise "matchy matchy". If you lot follow me of Instagram, you lot in all likelihood convey seen the sneak peaks.
Using the same trend of tapered bun feet from Osborne Wood Products , I sketched upward a modern trend bachelor's chest.
Materials List:
- (1) 4' x 8', 3/4" Sanded Plywood sheet
- (1) 2' x 4', 1/8" hardboard sheet
- (1) 1 x 10 x 72"
- (3) 1 x 8 x 96"
- (1) 2 x 2 x 96"
- (1) 1 x 2 x 72"
- (4) 8" Two Sided Tapered Bun Feet
- *pre-glued border banding
(in the same species of forest equally your plywood)
- *1 1/4" Pocket Hole Screws
- *2" Wood screws
- *Wood Glue
- *(2) pairs of 14" drawer slides
- *speed square
- Table saw or round out saw and my tutorial here.
The largest 2 pieces of plywood involve border banding along both brusque as well as i long edge, as well as the smaller panels simply involve i of the eighteen 7/8" sides banded.
Drill 3/4" steal holes on both ends of each smaller panel. I drilled mine virtually 3 inches apart. Using 1 1/4" coarse steal holes screws as well as forest glue, connect the side panels to the locomote past times as well as bottom, creating a box. Make certain to orient your panels hence all un-banded edges expression upward the same direction.
Check for square. Attach 1/8" hardboard backer to the side of the box without vertical border banding, using 1 1/4" forest screws. If your box is slightly out of square, you lot tin purpose the backer board to line it inward the management you lot need.
From the front end border of the box opening, stair out 7/8" as well as ascribe a line. Measure veritcally from the bottom side of the locomote past times panel ix 1/16" as well as grade some other line.
Using steal holes as well as forest glue, attach 1 x 2 underneath intersecting marks.
Now it's fourth dimension to cutting the apron that volition run into upward amongst the feet. The tapered border of the bun feet is at a v grade angle. Set your saw to a v grade angle, as well as cutting your 2 x 2. Flip the board over, stair out from the long indicate of your freshly cutting end. Mark your other long point, as well as cut. the slice volition await similar a trapezoid if cutting correctly.
Attach the long aprons betwixt the tapered sides of 2 feet, level amongst the locomote past times as well as exterior edge, using 1 1/2" steal holes as well as 2 1/2" steal hole screws. Flip the breast box upside down. Place the bun feet as well as aprons on bottom of box. Make certain the xc grade corner of each human foot is pointing towards the exterior corners of the box.
Place shorter aprons betwixt bun feet as well as concur pieces together tightly. Use bar clamps if you lot convey them. Pre-drill holes through bottom side of aprons, virtually every 3-4 inches. Secure all iv pieces of apron to the bottom panel using gum as well as 2" forest screws.
The primary construction of the breast is done. Time to build the drawer boxes.
*VERY IMPORTANT: hold off to cutting the long sides as well as bottom panel of your drawer boxes until you lot convey finished edifice the breast box. This is super of import to brand certain your drawers slide properly. I highly recommend using this tutorial for installing your slides as well as finding your box ). width.
Once you lot convey institute the exact width your drawer boxes involve to be, subtract 1 1/2" as well as cutting 2 pieces of 1 x 8 to this length, for each drawer (each drawer box may survive slightly unlike widths). Drill 4 steal holes on each destination of the longer boards. using screws as well as forest glue, attach a shorter board to each end, creating a box. Remember to expression upward your steal holes to the exterior of the box.
Attach bottom panel level to the bottom side of the boards using forest gum as well as steal hole screws. *You may uncovering it easier to build 3 side of the drawer box first, as well as hence add together the bottom panel, as well as and hence the terminal side piece.
Attach drawer slides to the bottom of the drawer box.
Slide the drawers inward place. If the boxes are built properly, they should glide inward as well as out amongst piddling effort.
Measure the opening of the breast box as well as cutting your 1 x 10 into 2 drawer faces. Make certain to instruct out 1/8" clearance roughly each edge.
I uncovering the easiest means to add together drawer fronts is to purpose exterior mounting record on the front end of the drawer box as well as 1/8" shims along the bottom as well as sides of the drawer face. Press the drawer front end onto the record firmly, carefully opened upward the drawer as well as from the within of the box. displace four, 1 1/4" screws through pre-drilled holes.
You're bachelor's breast is instantly done! Finish soundless you'd like, add together your hardware as well as you're done. Here's how it turned out.
I finished the breast box using my technique for getting an fifty-fifty complete on pine, as well as painted the drawer fronts a clean, vivid white. Everything received 4 coats of satin lacquer to protect my difficult work.
How fabulous are those brass bar pulls?! The color is called "my tall dresser.
Another characteristic connecting these novel nightstands to my dresser are the same sleek tapered bun feet from Osborne Wood Products.
I'm currently falling inward dear amongst the mid century modern tendency that is going on, but non laid upward to commit entirely. I intend these piddling breast of drawers are a expert mix of traditional as well as modern. What create you lot think?
