Landman Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Does anyone have one of these who would be willing to make me a sketch with measurements? I'd like to build my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryJ Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 You should be able to scale it from the picture; and build it small, medium, or large size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhigdog Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Funny you should mention. I'm in the home stretch of cloning a Gerstner 042 machinist chest using quarter sawn white oak. Gerstner will sell you all the hardware but be prepared to turn your wallet upside down. Gerstner chests are very intricate and well made. A true clone is a challenging project but is a very rewarding project. Good luck with it and enjoy.................Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
