Our bed is on the floor and there isn't a lot of space between the bed and entry door, so the bedside table for my wife needed to be small, around one foot high, deep and wide.





I recently got my domino and Akeda dovetail jig and used them both for the first time on this project, loved them both

Also bought a couple of clamps lately

Very nice little table!  I need to make me a pair of these.  The handles are a nice contrast to the cherry.  What kind are they?  I really have only one concern: the top.  How are you accounting for expansion and contraction?  Orienting the grain the other way would help solve the problem.

The handles are from Restoration Hardware. Expansion and Contraction? What's that? Seriously, on a piece so small, I didn't think it would generate forces that would overpower the glue, what do you think?

Very nice work. My wife had just requsted night stands last week. I love the details and the scale.  Doesn't the domino make it seem like your cheating. TIM

Looks Great.  I'm in the process of making one myself.  Hope it turns out as nice as yours.

Very nice! Did you design the table yourself?

Thanks, and yes, Rey, I did the design myself, borrowing a bit from a jewelry box that belongs to my wife.

I used this drawer glide tape from Rockler that seems to work very well,

"doesn't the domino feel like cheating?". LOL I just thought that last week while making a very similar night stand for my daughter. Maple for her. The cherry is really nice.

I've seen jewelry boxes split.  Time will tell.  Keep us apprised of any changes.
