Many thanks to Sid Morris, a colleague of Jen's (former, I guess, since he just retired and is headed south). Sid gifted me this really sweet Millers Falls 733 brace. 

Sweet Curves

Here's that curvy bead stock, after freeing it from the two-part form. Pretty sweet shape, I think.

Rosewood on a Curve

I'm bent laminating bead stock for the bottoms of the aprons. I'm using 6 lams of purchased rosewood veneer, about .020" thick each, which bends like a dream. 

Potpourri

The last internal parts for the case of the chest of drawers. Lots of holes, slotted holes, slip tenons, sliding dovetails, mortises. A potpourri, if you will. 

A Milestone

The case of the chest of drawers is almost fully assembled. Here I'm glueing the second to last back board to the upper rear blade. Although it seems like completing the case assembly is close, the list of small (but necessary) things to do to get there is not insignificant. But it is nice to be close.
