I'll add more details as I go. I had written a good bit more but my iPad crashed on me this is the first time I've posted using the
iPad with the forum runner app.
Looks really terrific so far, can't wait to see if evolve!
The carcass of the cabinet is walnut. The drawers are cherry, just because I had a lot of cherry that was already resawn to
1/2 inch thickness. The drawer bottoms are made from plywood . I dovetailed the drawer fronts using through dovetails and
will face them with 1/4 walnut. I know that's not the usual way but it's what I'm doing. These two cabinets are where I got the
idea to do the cabinet I'm building. When finished it will sit on an old library table I have. The two cabinets are from a couple of
articles I saw in FWW.
Looks great! Keep the pictures coming....it may inspire me to build one myself.
I finally got all of my drawers glued up, I built a 90 degree jig on a work table to square the drawers as I glued them up. The jig
really was a timesaver with the quantity of drawers I have. The next step will be to attach the guides on the bottom of the
drawers . The pencil is pointing to the guides on the bottom of a drawer. I like this method because you can insert the drawer
and adjust the spacing then trace the runner on the bottom of the drawer.
I'm looking forward to the completion. It looks great!
