Table Chest with Drawers

To me it looks like the molding is attached to the top.  If you look at the high resolution picture the Yale site (link in an earlier post) you can clearly see the molding surrounds the top. You can even see a slight mismatch of the front and side molding miter. The drawing I previously posted has it shown this way.

Tom, what I'm thinking of as being attached to the carcass must be the dowels showing through the cove molding and into the lid?
 
It's been almost four years since I started this topic, and I can finally report that I finished a smaller version of this table chest with drawers.

I worked up the final construction details based on several of the posts.  I started prepping wood the first week of December, and completed construction on Christmas morning. I mailed it in late January to our son who graduated last May and now lives in Seattle.

I originally had planned on two drawers, but my wife pointed out they would be very small.  I didn't like the looks of it with one drawer, so I made one drawer which looks like two.  All of the molding profiles were roughed out with the table saw or a block plane. and then scraped to the final profile with scrapers I made. The wood pegs which hold the bottom of the box in (below the drawer) and the skirt molding were made with a dowel plate.

This was a great project, and a lot more fun than making bathroom cabinets!  I still want to make the full size version in walnut with iron hinges - maybe by 2022!  I would be happy to supply a 3D model if anyone is interested.

Best regards,
Tom
