The build
The cabinet is the only object we make in a numbered edition, and it is the only one that is furniture rather than a model. Five drawers on waxed runners, a hinged lid over a shallow tray, and a three-disc combination lock that is a genuine mechanism — it has 216 combinations and no bypass.
The joinery is box-joint throughout, cut as interlocking fingers on the sheet, so the drawers are square because the parts are square rather than because you were careful. Walnut pulls are the only part that is not ply.
It takes several evenings. The manual is 96 pages and assumes you have built something before. Each cabinet carries its edition number on the inside of the bottom drawer.
