Making a Jon Peters Blanket Chest

This is a blanket chest that Jon Peters built on his channel and looked really nice so I wanted to give it a try and change the styling up a little. I made the top out of cherry. I used a kreg jig to make the face frames. I also used a HVLP system to spray on the paint to get a really nice smooth finish.

Jon Peters makes the best blanket chest on YT.
Nice work.
Loved the music.
Spring closure is awesome upgrade.
The clear top...perfect.

Excellent shirt. Lol. Great blanket chest as well. Mr. Peters is an awesome maker.

Nice job, Jon Peters does great work and you did a great job replicating his genius. Also is that Tommy Silva making an appearance in the video during paint up...lol

Great result. I create my own also by inspiration from Jon peteres channel. I modified a top a little bit to make it more user friendly for my 5 years old daughter. Keep up great work.

Jody - Looks great! It looks like you used the 1-1/8" x 5/8" base cap for trimming the 3 panels - just as Jon Peters specifies in his plans. Can you tell me where you sourced that molding? I'm having a hard time finding any base cap that's smaller than 1-3/8" x 11/16". Thank you.

Did you get piano hinge and spring supports from a hardware store? I made one and am at the step of attaching the lid and just realized I got the wrong hinges.

In the midst of building the same chest. Did you glue and screw the side face frames when you attached them? In Jon Peters video he only glued and screwed the front face frame. I was curious why he didn't do it to the side face frames. Thanks for your attention.

Wonderful build but the intro music while you were talking was very off putting.

[terrellknight]

that top is awesome!! did you only use glue and clamps? I have heard they do that in japanese joinery but am dubious?? and what kind of stain? Great work man. I've been a carpenter/handyman for years and am just now getting into "fine woodworking"...so I'm still a learner! Good job!

Did you mortise for the continuous hinge

[starhawke]

Love the work, did this box myself for my grand daughter and make a few tweaks myself. Please review your videos before posting to be sure your voice is audible over the annoying music.

turn off that music and this would be great. why does eveyone think they need music, its distracting. by the way, great job, i'm about done with mine as a toy box using Jon's plans but i'm going to follow your thinking on the top. thanks. nice

[prmskeepr]

Please, please, please get rid of the background music. It's way too loud/distracting, and not needed.

gave it a thumbs up although I didn't hear a word of that intro, due to my only hearing out of one ear.  I think that you need to tone down the music. nice build though.

Since when do we use our table saw as a glue-up assembly table? Also...lose the music. It's annoying.

This time I will use Woodprix Instructions to make it.
