I had no idea what I was doing, made a lot of mistakes, but my wife loves
it.

I didn't use drawers because I didn't know how to make drawers. It was all
hand tools back then.

The design was based on an article in FWW that I can't find now. It's a
simple frame and panel design with dovetailed sides. I can recall gluing
the whole thing up as one piece then sawing the top off with a handsaw.
