Waddesden Manor - how to build a Riesener chest of drawers

[Freddyjersey2016]

Nice short animation video showing how a Riesener chest of drawers at Waddesden was put together - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ul-GsIzkjIY

For those who are interested in top-end antique furniture Waddesden has a host of very complex pieces of show

That's such a great way to show the construction, there's almost no excuse for not making one as the next project - but I will force myself to resist!
Personally I preferred it before all the veneer, marquetry and gilt bronze guff went on top, which makes it easier to say no. But I do admire the skill of the original maker.
