My first woodworking project

Decided to build a chest to store all my dog's stuff in instead of having it piled up in the corner of the room.

I was watching some YouTube vids and one inspired me to replicate it so I went to it. It took me pretty much the later half of the summer to finish it. Working on it on the weekends and whenever I had time. But I finally finished it before the weather turned cold.

All built with hand tools. No fancy jigs. Although I did buy a table saw near the end of the build which helped immensely with building the tray.





Two vids. Don't mind the messy side table \:D

My wife, back then my gf, wanted a dog and wanted a yorkie.

Old pics but pretty much the same today. Took it with a new lens I was playing around with.

Very nice.. Line the inside some with cedar tongue and grove, it will smell fantastic (That's what my oldman does with the hope chests he makes)

Send me some examples of the design you're looking for. He's retired all he does is fuck around in his woodshop all day \:\)

It's already sealed with arm-r-seal (an oil based urethane topcoat). I wanted to keep the natural look of the wood which is baltic birch.

That's a great idea, thanks. Does the cedar smell get onto fabrics though? My dog might not like the smell..lol.
