Half blind dovetails… How I love loathe thee. Through dovetails are a lot of fun, but the half blind type for drawers can be a little trying. The good news is that hopefully soon this piece will move from the WIP to the finished furniture category.
Finally started to tackle the drawers. It’s amazing how much lumber is required to build a drawer. The planer is in for a workout today. These will certainly be heavy, but the walnut maple combination is worth it.
Before jumping into the drawers for the dresser, I decided to turn an iPad stylus. Not the most challenging project, but there is a lot to be said for a project that can be started and finished in the same day… Guess it’s time to stop procrastinating and tackle those drawers.
With the panels sanded and cleaned up, did a quick door assembly before getting ready to move onto drawers. Which means more dimensioning and cleaning up lumber followed by cutting dovetails in my future.
Final panel glue up for walnut dresser / sideboard. Drawers are next. Hopefully only a few more shop days left to finish this one up and then on to new projects.
