Traditional Cherry Wardrobe – Paper Plan

For centuries, wardrobes stood out as symbols of affluence. Kings and queens used them to store their showy garments, as did the wealthy. Today, they provide additional closet space in the bedroom for hanging and folded clothing. This accommodating cherry and poplar piece, with its understated traditional design, features fixed and adjustable shelves, closet space for hanging clothes, and four drawers. When building it, you’ll learn how to glue up large panels, assemble casework in stages using biscuits, machine and install a tongue-and-groove paneled back, build and hang raised-panel doors, and make and install simple but sturdy drawers. You’ll also discover tricks for dealing with wood movement. Keep your clamps handy for this project, as you’ll find yourself using them several times during the construction. Now, let’s make an heirloom. This Classic® Project Plan is among the “best of” the projects from editors of Woodcraft Magazine. Each plan features step-by-step instructions with detailed photographs, exploded illustrations for various project steps, a cut list and cutting diagram, and a Convenience-PLUS Buying Guide so you know exactly what supplies are required to complete the project.
