Illustration #97 is a Bureau-Cabinet made in 1820 in Berlin and was 46 x 22 x 74" in size. As my client wanted the top to be within her reach, and she was not that tall, I made the height 61". To achieve the proper proportion for the rest, I reduced the width to 39 (1 meter actually, the entire project was built using metric dimensions), and the depth only 18".<br /><br />Building in metric allowed proper and easy graduation of the drawers, since all the blades are 2cm, and each drawer is reduced by 1cm in height.<br /><br />As usual, no power tools were used. I cut all the small drawer dovetails on the chevalet.W.
