In this episode of 360 with 360WoodWorking, we continue talking about furniture that we’ve built that caused us nightmares. This time Glen tells his tale, which is also focused around a Shaker sewing Desk. If you’re not familiar with this piece (it’s shown in the opening photo), it is a great piece to build. A full stack of drawers go in on the right-hand side (near the wall in the photo) and there is a narrow bank in the front and the two sets of three drawers that flank a center prospect door. It’s the transition from bottom to top that causes Glen all the trouble.

In this episode of 360 with 360WoodWorking, we have something a bit different. As we began talking about furniture that we’ve built that caused us nightmares, Mr. Bender’s description of a lowboy he built for a particular customer took over the discussion. Not only is his story amusing, and one that you’re glad happened to someone besides you, it is the story that anyone who builds for customers hopes they never get to tell. In order to share the entire tale, we pushed the podcast beyond the normal 360 seconds. But it’s worth it!.
