Chippendale style secretary bookcase

Dave....excellent as usual. For your junk shop you might want some fine crackling on the laquered furniture. Vallejo 598 Crackle Medium gives a very, very fine pattern. Just apply on top of your final coat of paint or gloss medium after it´s dry.

Annoyingly outstanding. -- Russ

There's that 12" thimble again! Why don't you pull out the 9" penny too?!   

Outstanding Dave. Even the furniture color seems correct. How do you make the legs stick out on a 90 deg corner?

Yes, the legs are especially nice and howdhedothat-ish.

Its been a while since I made this, I'd have to find the adobe file to be sure, but I think the legs are separate parts tabbed for 45 degree slots underneath the table.   

Actually I'm not real happy with the legs.   When I finish the next one, a highboy, I will taper them a little, and build up the feet so they better resemble claw feet.  Didn't really notice any of this till I took the photos.     

Cool idea on the crackle finish, definitely going to try that stuff.
