Miniature Night Stand 1/6 Scale
This miniature night stand is a playscale prototype built to verify the cut-sheet portion of the plans. Building the first version helped me test the templates, refine the assembly steps, and see what needed to be added before calling the plan set complete.
The archived plan set is available as a free download, with optional support contributions handled separately.

Build Notes
I started by printing the full-size templates and gluing them to basswood sheets. That gives the small parts a clear layout and makes it easier to repeat the shapes accurately.
The parts were cut on the bandsaw, though a scroll saw would work too. The bandsaw leaves more sanding, but it is a practical way to rough out the pieces quickly.
The frame assembly used a template to keep the front pieces aligned. After this prototype, I could see where a few more alignment templates would make the final instructions easier to follow.
Once the assembly was complete, the night stand was ready for stain and clear coat.
The finished piece got a small book and glasses to give it a little character. After this prototype, the next step was building another copy while validating each step in the plans.
