541 Madison's Dresser Pt 5 "More drawer frame stuffs"
Вставка

- Just when you thought you were finished, they pull you right back in again! Actually I was never really finished, once I had the drawer frames glued up I still had a little more work to do on them before we're ready to assemble the entire body of the dresser. So in today's episode we're going to finish the construction of the drawer frames.
This involves cleaning up the dried glue and tweaking the joinery to insure the drawers will slide in and out smoothly every time. And it also involves cutting a dado down the center rails to accept a drawer guide we'll install later to help keep the drawers perfectly centered.
Unlike the dados we cut for the sides of the dresser body, these dados are a stopped version. So this requires a little planning to make sure they don't show on the front face and a little chopping with chisels, followed by some tweaking with a router plane.
All of it can sound a little complicated, but it's not as bad as you think it might be.

This has been a fantastic series. .. good explanations, like the new shop lay out, we'll done.
Looking good like a nice chest of drawers, making what seems a large project much more simplified!
Looking really good Matt!
Matt Vanderlist This is coming along quite nicely.
Looking good Matt
Thanks! Coming up next week is the results of the glueup...yikes!!!
Nifty idea for the drawer guides with the stopped dados.
Thanks, it was all Brian's idea, the guy who helped me to workout the details for this build to make it even better.
Nice work Matt! Just wondering, with the stop dados why not use your router plane?
Sorry Matt, I mean when you are squaring up the ends.
Average Guy Woodworking Thanks for clarifying, saves me another reply LOL. I could have used just the router plane, but it would have taken longer and I was already using the chisels to define the shoulders.
The combination of tools is a great example of the concept of coarse, medium and fine with hand tools. I use the chisels to remove the bulk of the waste & to define the shape, then use the router plane to finesse the final shape and depths.
Matt, I see you wearing the michigan t-shirts, are you a Yooper or a Lowper?
I'm a troll, down on the West Coast.
