1 intended to use. Noting the phone number of Fisher Forge had the same area code as my owr.. I called up Dave Fisher anil made i trip to his shop. The gentleman is tdi artist.

Sea Chest Shows Solutions

Enclosed are some pictures of a storagp chest 1 made over the winter months. The chest was loosely based or a chest seen in a British antiques magazine. The material I used was salvaged from eld church pews; the woods I used were poplar and some pine.

Inspiration from 8111 Hylton's chest project — including the hand-forged hardware — helped Henry tahneman finish his own.
