Hope Chest Plans
A hope chest is a chest in which a young woman collects linen, clothing, etc. in anticipation of getting married. This maybe an old fashion idea, but young women enjoy having a hope chest and filling it with expectations.
Here is a blanket chest plan that is the ideal project to showcase classic joinery. With this plan you will use an object, not a ruler, to measure directly from one thing to another. Settle on the most important sizes first, make the pieces and then everything else falls into place. You’ll see how fool-proof the system is in building this blanket chest. The design utilizes a form of frame and panel construction that goes back hundreds of years. This joinery has proven to be durable and reliable.
Use this simple plan to build a hope chest for that someone special in your family.
