Set one stile on the bench and into the jig....it was marked for "INside" so set that face away from me...then glue on tenon, and a spot of glue in the center of a panel..and worked my way down to the other end of the Stile..then add glue again to all the "upper" tenons and a small spot in the panel's centers...then a Mallet assist to install the matching Stile...and then add the clamps..working towards the middle..

Had a couple tenons that didn't want to enter their mortises...Mallet to assist that problem...

The 2 red c clamps to close a gap on the end,,,and help center things up better...added a few other 6" f clamps for the same reasons Mainly to center the rails in the stiles..

letting this sit a day...next up?
May Proj., Thurs., Tomorrow's.jpg
Have the #1 and #2 Stiles...they both need a foot profile sawn, and 9 mortises chopped...then the Raised Panels and the rails can be made ready for the next big glue up..

The Boss is coming home next Wednesday Afternoon-ish...Same day as Pay Day...I get to go out, and pay the bills that morning, then go pick her up. Being released to Home Health Care.

She also gave me permission to go to Lowes and Buy the Pine Secondary wood for this Project...and Maybe the 1/4" plywood panels for the back and the drawer bottoms..Budget being ~$100....Nice thing is, I also get the 10% Mil. Discount..at Lowes.

Might go shopping tomorrow, THEN run the Sargent 79 around a while...still trying for a Sunday glue-up of Side #2....and then build a bunch of Web Frames...to both connect the 2 sides together, and give the 8 drawers something to slide on..

Stay tuned...

Shopping trip..$108.86
Need to load this up..
Lowes Lumber Run, Needs to be loaded up.jpg
Into this space..

Lowes Lumber Run, need the seat folded down.jpg
Needed to fold the other back seat down..so the 8' long 1 x 4s will fit...The six 1 x 2x 6' were a tight fit...The six 1/4" x 24" x 48" panels weren't an issue..

Then unload the Chevy once I got back home..
I sorted through a lot of Pine boards..these were the "Pick of the Litter"..

So....what's for Lunch?
