Birthday box. Bruno found the Collector’s Showcase from April/
May 2010 while searching for gift ideas for his granddaughter’s
sweet 16. He used walnut and oak ply for the case, and white
oak for the drawer fronts. Bruno added a drawer to make
room for his granddaughter’s growing jewelry collection.PATRICK SCHMITT,

Barrel chest. A few friends gifted some old whiskey
barrels to Patrick on the condition that he make something
cool from them. The result is this 17^1 ⁄ 2 " × 32" × 19"
rolling chest with a barrel lid inset in the top. The chest’s
bottom is raised to conceal casters underneath.

He finished the piece with polyurethane and paste wax. Blackwell’s
upholstering pal has agreed to make the cushion for the top.
