 Free Nice Dresser or Chest of Drawers plans - Great plans for building a very unique graceful 8-drawer dresser. I have been developing a range of furniture specifically for display in galleries and furniture shows, and this cabinet in American Cherry, Walnut, and Hard Maple is an example. Large pieces have their place in shows, but there are assembly, packing, set-up, and transportation considerations, and large items can dominate your space. Smaller furniture is easier to handle and arrange. Modestly sized pieces illustrate style and proficiency, are saleable, and can generate commissions. The leg style used was the design motif that inspired the piece, for this leg had already been used in tables and chairs, but this is my first use of it in a cabinet. Designing for shows is both liberating and restricting; you can make anything you like, but will anyone else appreciate it? In this case, apart from the leg form, there were no design limitations. It is often helpful to invent a realistic end use, perhaps a need of ones own to define the brief. This forces concentration on the job in hand and discourages flights of fancy which, if they occur, are filed in the for later category. I did not picture an end use here because the leg motif was so strong; I was designing for looks and would allow functionality to present itself.
