Nail (Screw) Cabinet #3: Internals Done!

Nail (Screw) Cabinet
Last time:
"I'll talk about setting that reference point for stopped dados in the next installment…
That's simple. The stopped dados are set to allow clearance for the hardware (pulls) to be mounted to the fronts of each drawer. I got that hardware in from D. Lawless in Olney, Illinois.
The depth of that pull set the depth of the drawer fronts. The #198 set the line, and a little chisel work extended the dado to a consistent setback from the front of the soon-to-be cabinet.
Once the center bar was set all proper and final, I had a decision to make. Last time I was set on joining the dividers via egg-crate overlaps. Well, I changed my mind and opted instead to create more stopped dados in the vertical piece.
I helped the #272 router plane along with the flat chisel cut, btw.
Once those were done, I inserted each partition and marked them for notches that were then cut with the gents dovetail saw.
Some glue was applied before all was assembled and made ready for 'next steps.'
Time to replace the back panel and button up this inside carcase!
Next time, we might apply the external framework, or complete the panel door, or build drawers. More to come, and thanks for looking!
Don't anthropomorphize your handplanes. They hate it when you do that. - OldTools Archive -
