Time to think about the woodworking...
I am almost at the point of having all of the metal working done on the chest. Now, I actually need to make the wood part of the chest. This would be nice and easy except for the fact that there are some gentle angles on the chest. So tonight I am going to look at my different sources to do the plan for the woodworking. I am going to work off of the original as well as some other reproductions. I expect that it will take about 2 days to do the bulk of the woodworking.
Its funny that when I looked on the internet for some other reproductions. The number of really, really bad reproductions is amazing. I'm not trying to insult others. Most of these bad reproductions are merchants selling them. In all fairness, there are some merchants with good versions as well. But you can't take a pine box, slap a couple of rustoleum painted barn hinges on it and call it a reproduction. Yes, I am starting to get kind of snobish about it. I would not have a problem if they said "inspired by" rather than calling it a reproduction.
