This is a
remarkable design of a drawer casket. Behind two doors it contains
three drawers. The casket is richly ornamented with floral motifs in
its fretwork and overlays. By combining different types of wood,
finishes and fabrics many different types of visual effects can be
achieved.
This casket was
originally conceived as a box to store cigars, instead of drawers it
had shelves to place the cigars, however since I prefer you not to
smoke I have transformed it into a drawer casket. I am sure this way
you will enjoy it more and with better health.
For this project a
particularly rich hardware is recommended. You can find an excellent
collection of good hardware at the
Look in the attic
company site, not only bail pulls, but hinges, door knobs and
everything else. Another good site is
The house of
antique hardware. Depending on how much you scale up or down
your model you will need bigger or smaller hardware, take this into
account when ordering the hardware. It is probably better to order
the hardware when you have the plans scaled at the size you are
going to work.
The pattern is based on an
old Italian design from the beginning of the XX century. It has been
completely redrawn in the computer using the most advanced graphics
techniques.
The pattern is designed to make the drawer casket with 3/16
inches wood or 5 mm wood and some thin wood for the overlays, but of
course it can be resized at will. This table gives the dimensions of
the casket depending on the wood
