Quite some time ago, Rob decided he wanted to build a dresser for Carrie's and his bedroom. He asked if we could do that together, and of course I said yes. Who wouldn't jump at the chance to build something together with his son? Anyway, because of our frequent absences for time in Wisconsin and demands on Rob's work and home life, we haven't really zipped right through the project. Lately, though, real progress has been made. The basic unit is finished, except for affixing the top. Rob has worked on the drawers most recently. Here are three pictures of him gluing together the drawers.
Because of all the excellent planning and measuring, they do fit in the dresser!
Soon, all that will be left is the finishing, which I will leave completely in Rob's hands.Now, I can say that I've built something with each of my kids. (Gotta treat them all equal, you know.) In Will's case, it was the timber framing for his planned sauna, and in Betsy's case, it was a gardening workbench. You can click on the links to recall those projects if you want.
