   The picture is a little grainy but it looks great.  Why did you fill it with rocks?"War is God's way of teaching Americans geography."  Ambrose Bierce

   Yea, but they looked like rocks to me in the picture.  Bad joke..."War is God's way of teaching Americans geography."  Ambrose Bierce

   Pretty nice!My daughter has been suggesting I build a toybox (that will "grow" into a hope chest) for my grand daughter. Did you design your project?

   Yes and No, about the designing it. I saved some plans out of some magazines I use to get and altered them alittle.  Here is the link to the orginal design.

   Hey no problem,

   Yeah they had a whole set bed, night stand, blanket chest, and dresser in mission style that I liked the looks of. I thought of attempting the whole set in due time.

   Looks like a nice chest.

   I'm curious - Is the pad fastened down somehow, or is it loose?

   .

   Don't know if you saw mine - I recently posted pics in the tavern:

   Putting a pad on it is the only thing I didn't get done. Fastening it is one of the things I never quite figured out.

   Never fight ugly people - They have nothing to loose.

   Hey Boss,

   You have a nice looking chest too! Did you scroll saw the duck out of different woods and piece it together on?

   No I decided to leave them un attached so it would be easier to clean if we needed to.

   I plan on making another on about the same for my daughter.Scott Beckett's Handyman Service

   "Did you scroll saw the duck out of different woods and piece it together on?"

   Nope - The infamous Newf from BT made that especially for the chest.
