Jacobean Chest, made from The Scale Cabinetmaker
Esther Marker posted a topic in Furniture & Woodworking
I wanted to try something a little more ambitious, so decided to make this chest from The Scale Cabinetmaker. I used a combination of walnut, red cedar, rosewood and basswood.

Grind the top bit off to form the

Extendable draw-leaf refectory table, English revival period
Debora Beijerbacht posted a topic in Furniture & Woodworking
This table was my excuse to build one of the many constructions that are out there are to extend a dining table. One of these methods is this draw-leaf construction, or pull out, where the leaves are stowed underneath the table top when not in use. I figured that's a really neat feature if you like to 'play' with your miniatures. First I made a modern version of this type, to get to grips with the construction and when that one run smooth I turned to this one; This original was listed on the site of an antique dealer, but with my understanding of the construction and mechanism under t
