Dresser top & base
T
This optional top and base give the-
dresser a slightly more traditional
look. I added a few more “curves”
and didn’t use the dark cherry dye
on the knobs, base, and top.
BASE. I started with the base.
When you take a look at Fig. 1
you’ll see how it goes together. It’s
really nothing more than an apron,
mitred at the front corners, that
captures a plywood centre panel.
With the four apron pieces cut to
size, you’ll first need to rebate the
top inside edges of the front and
sides (Fig. 1b). This rebate holds
the centre panel. And next a simple
round-over will soften the outside
edges. If you look close, you’ll see
a short shoulder here (Fig. 1b). At
this point the front and side pieces
can be mitred to length. Then cut
the back piece to fit between the
sides. Finally, you can lay out and
cut the gentle, arching curves (Figs.
1 and 1a). I assembled the frame
with a reinforcing block glued in
each corner. And adding the 18mm
plywood centre panel completes
the base. The panel sits on top of
the back apron piece.
TOP. For the optional top, I added
a cove under the solid-wood top to
create a pleasing, built-up look. As
Fig. 2 shows, the cove pieces form a
frame that supports the top. There’s
nothing difficult about piecing the
frame together. The only trick here
is attaching the frame and solid top
to the case. And this is just a matter
of a few holes in the right places.
First, I cut the frame pieces from
18mm stock and routed the cove on
the front and sides. Next, the front
and sides are mitred and the back
and centre fillers are cut to fit (Fig.
2). Now before attaching the frame
pieces to the case, you need to drill
some 9mm holes that will line up
with the mounting holes in the top
divider (Fig. 2). These holes allow
your screws to pass through the
frame and into the top (Fig. 2a).
Once the cove frame is added, the
18m-thick solid-wood top can be
made and installed. A roundover
on the bottom of the front and
sidesedges is all it needs (Fig. 2a).
