There are no plans for this as I just winged it one week when my son was in between summer camp and school.
The nicest thing about this chest is I used all scrap wood that was just collecting (saw)dust. The cost of the drawer pulls is what will get you, but then without them, the chest would not be as nice.
Using a piece of plywood that was ~24" X 48"
the case is 16hx30wx8d
Cut the ply wood into three equal widths
3@ 8x48 (you will loose a bit due to the kerf of the saw)
from two of the pieces cut off 16" for the sides
from the remaining piece, cut 2@ 16 for the interior dividers between drawers
these will be cut down a bit more so they fit inside the case
rabbit the edges of the top and bottom and two side so they fit together nicely.
Then dado two slots for the interior dividers.
You can dress up the front facing of the plywood with small strips of wood. Use the same size strips to make dividers between drawers, and drawer guides.
For the drawers a simple box with a stylish face will do. Add a bit more class by using a router on the draw face edge with an ogee or small round over.

Great adjustment to plans!
I just came back from your blog post. I love that you used 2 x 4s and it still turned out so great! I was considering the same thing for the same reason (1 x 4s are much more expensive!), and now I have proof that it works!
