	Take a look at the original chest on chest.
	4/4 and 8/4 walnut boards.
	5/4 rough walnut for moldings are jointed on face and edges, ready for the thickness planer.
	There are a total of 12 individual feet to make for both chests. 8 of them will be miter cut to form the front feet for the two lower chests. This shows the feet blanks in the first "rough out" stage.
	Next step - cutting out the shape on the bandsaw.
	Bandsawn feet, blanks, and the template used for the foot profile.
	Using the oscillating spindle sander to smooth the curves and remove the blade marks.
	Curves and contours sanded and ready for the ends to be mitered.
	Mitered and glued. The two feet are reinforced on the inside corners using walnut blocks which are glued and screwed.
	After a final sanding, these front feet are ready to be installed on the chests.
