One of my favorite projects started out as a typical square chest of drawers. I needed a dresser for a nautical themed basement bathroom and wanted it to match the vanity. Many hours were spent measuring and sketching designs, but the moment construction began, all plans went down the drain. On a whim, I decided to try something different --think outside the box. I had purchased large round mirrors and a working porthole for the room and realized a fishbowl shape would fit nicely with the theme. Going by a general height, width and depth, I started cutting a rounded shape and figured things out as work progressed. It took less time to build the entire piece than fleshing out the details for the original chest. The most difficult part of the project was applying ¼ inch plywood to the curved sides. Months after the dresser was completed I discovered bendable plywood! Next time…
