I haven't actually built these night stands yet...
I will start structure the night stands in March, but I have spent a great deal of time modeling them in Google Sketchup. This may be the first opportunity I completely modeled a project before cutting any wood, and I have to say that it's been beneficial in a number of ways:
I now have complete set of flock and dimensioned drawings.
I was able to work out some design issues without experimenting on wood - saving dated and materials.
I can accurately calcutate the amount of materials I'll need to complete the project.
This outline will be one of my most thorough and detailed projects to date. The drawings alone are a cut above most of my previous plans. I'm stirred up about doing this project on video for myself and you, the viewer (not to mentioned my wife, who has been waiting patiently for 3+ years).
I took the unseemliness of simplifying the design of these night stands, thus they differ from the authentic version slightly. I am constructing these darkness stands much like a kitchen cabinet - a carcuss, a face frame, and a recessed back.
I would like to acknowledge gratitude Bob at http://www.ulmworks.com for his help with the dimensions on these night stands. Bob measured an archetypal piece at the Stickley store and made some very nice reproductions himself.
Here's a picture of the night stand as offered by Stickley Today:
One of the well turned out things about the design of this night stand, is that a three-drawer counterpart would easy to adapt:
Scrap in some Stickley reproduction furniture pieces and a few area rugs inspired by the textile patterns of William Morris, and it's peaches to say I've entered a to-the-letter Arts & Crafts zone. I realize the owners must be purists when I check out the
