Have cleaned up and fitted the first drawer that I glued last night. Has been sanded initially to 150g. When all have been done, I will then start on the Cedar of Lebannon bottoms - Rob

Rob

How are you going to fit the bottoms?

 

[woodbloke]

Waka - drawer bottoms are rebated and run in shallow grooves in the sides. Because of the thru' D/T's I will have to put an applied drawer slip onto the drawer front, bottom will be slot screwed to the back with a couple of very small brass c/s screws - Rob

That's looking really nice Rob. You must be more confident in your dovetails than I am in mine to have them showing as a design feature on the front of the drawer - but clearly justified in your case!

 

[Paul Chapman]

Very nice, Rob. I like your dovetails 8)

Cheers
