Night Stands

The pictured nightstands will serve as the base for a large bookshelf-style headboard to complement the platform bed I recently completed. I would have finished the project yesterday when the drawer slide hardware arrived if not for the fact that I had fabricated all 6 drawer boxes to the wrong depth. The nightstands are 18 inches deep, and that was the depth I used for the drawer boxes rather than the 15-inch depth of the drawer slides. Fortunately, I devised a rather clever way to slice 3 inches out of the drawers without compromising their integrity or appearance. Incidentally, these 6 drawers bring the total number I have built for our house to 120. I think I can safely say that we do not need any more and that these will be the last ones.
