Welcome to FOG and thanks for sharing your work.  The blanket chests came out really well!

Are the tops hinged?

Yes, piano hinged them all. Could have probably just had lift off tops for the small boxes. Still have to put the seats on them.
 
I'm a little late here, but [welcome] to the FOG!

I like your project a lot - and it looks great!

So what's next?

Welcome to the forum!  [smile]

    Looks like you've got a good handle on frame and panel construction. I like the angled cut at the feet. Lightens it up and gives a nice definition to what could be a clunky looking leg / foot.  [thumbs up]

Thanks everyone. Not sure what the next project will be or what the next tools need to be. I have read many of the posts on which tools everyone thinks are most needed as well as the reviews for them. Seems to pretty much depend on what you use and what you need. I am thinking a domino would be hard to beat and would come in handy for most projects. My dated and cheap biscuit joiner has about had it.
