I'm jealous.
Good looking project you got there. Surprised you went with poplar though.
Thanks! I just wish I had time to work on it. We've got a 2-year-old and a 3-month-old, so between them and paying work I have almost no time to do things for fun.
I'd have gone with white pine if I could get it 5/4. It's going to be painted, so I wanted cheap. And it's going to get beat to hell, so I wanted it thick. Oak or maple would have been considerably heavier. So poplar it was. The chest is 100% by hand. Looking at the picture, it looks like the dovetails are graduated, but they're actually all the same size. Must be the angle I was holding my phone.
The small pine chest that's under and behind all the crap holds all my molding planes and other wooden planes. I hate working in a messy shop, but there's only so many hours in the day...
And Festool makes some slick stuff. It's my crack.
