Hello David, Thank you for the good comment,  Yes I will send you some informtion on the chest via your personal e-mail.  The slides for this chest are full extention ball bearing side mounted.  You can mount Bottom mount slides however I do not reccomend using a single mount but two would work great.  I did attach a photo slide show link under the photo of the main picture on the album however I will send you another one via your e-mail that is not edited out in some of the places.  Thanks again.

nice and neat work!
I would love to have one of these drawers. How can you attach runner slide in the middle? Would you mind sending me an email how it was built? induk79@gmail.com

Thank you Gail, this chest of drawers was for a customer and was one build totally without plans. 

 I am fortunate to have a shop however the real fun of this work is the satisfaction I get from building.  As I have told others, it is not the shop or the tooling that you own that brings you satisfaction from woodworking but it is the desire and the drive that you have.  It is the determination and desire to create that causes the great masters of our times.  Where it is in a driveway or in a full equipted shop, with all the tools at you disposal, without the desire you will create nothing.  Tools only make the work easier but it is the hands that work the tools that is the real artist.

I know you will soon graduate from the driveway to the nice equipted shop in time as that desire to create with just seem to cause a shop filled with tools to happen.  It did for me I started with just a few hand tools and finally into a larger shop with more tools and they just seem to keep appearing in my shop for some reason caused only because of my desire to create.   My best to you in your future ventures as they can be great and exciting.

awesome project!  it's truly a work of art!

 I'm loving your "shop".  Mine is my driveway.  :)  I have my tools in the garage, not much room to move around.

Great looking project!

 

 I am very interested in knowing how you built the face frame?

Looking to build something very similar, but also some Bed side tables,and  a 6 drawer dresser !

Hello Max, sorrry I didn't get back to you sooner.  Thank you for the nice comment about my work.  To answer your question  I have my own system and methods to build it using all Kreg jig  pocket screwed together. I did not use any plans making it a "one of a kind chest" . If you wish to send me your e-mail I will explain how it was built

If anyone is interested, I added a  musical slide show to the 12 drawer chest project.  Click on the links above where it says " view slideshow"  it will open  taking a bit to load.  It plays automatically and you can view it in full screen by clicking the little icon on the bottom left of the page,  excape using the keyboard "ESC" button.  Due to the length I have edited most of the photos out. Tou can find it under "my projects page".
