re: Drawer Box
Splinter - Thanks. The DR4 will shine when I need to do a batch of drawer boxes. And I'm sure I'll get better at setup now that I'm a little familiar with how it works.
I decided to cut the dado for the drawer bottom on the router table so I could do a stopped dado and avoid cutting off the tip of the half-pin on either end. I would be left with some chisel work if I tried to do that on the TS. Slow and steady with the 1/8" spiral bit worked for me.
The drawer box will get a false front for an inset fit. It will be veneered with more Izombe. I'm deferring building it until I've worked-out what kind of drawer pull to use - something integrated or something attached to the face.
Pottz, thank you. I'm going to enjoy playing around with the DR4. It also has a finger joint attachment - that might be a better choice for sub-par plywood boxes than dovetails.
