This year I finally tuned up my band saw and started some band saw boxes. I have the Craftsman 10" BS, so it's a little small and underpowered, but with the right blade, it does OK. I have some work to do to get better and cut better with it, but it's a lot of fun.
I used two plans from David Picciuto, the Drunken Woodworker:

I made the Austin and Omaha. I use a lot of DW plans. He's a local guy and I like his projects. I made these over the summer and the kids really like them, so they are a little beat up.
I need to work on disguising the kerf entry cuts as well as just following a line without wavering. Overall I am happy with them. The drawers are loose, but that will improve with technique. The one on the left was my first and I used scrap bin cherry (didn't even realize the front was a glueup until I finished it, LOL) and laminated 1/2" ply and the right one is walnut and maple.
Both are finished with simple spray lacquer.
