The 1250 DEVS sander is helping a lot right now, with the small radio providing accompanyment in the background.

I got the drawer front fitted and the top attached to the cabinet. Then I blew it all apart and started the long sanding process.

Just doubt anybody actually reads this thread.

Did you survive?….lol

I got the drawer fronts all fitted nicely. Hours of sanding also. Corrected a slight mistake with something I was intending to do anyway. I went to attach the fronts to the drawer boxes and surprise. No screws…lol.

Welcome back

It’s been warmer and sunnier here. Nice days. The only thing is we have had a lot of wind.

Went looking for drawer pulls. Couldn’t find any locally so I got online to Lee Valley and ordered some. Plus a little present for myself while I was at it.

That is one busy day.

All the tenons cut and fitted and the drawer fronts are glued up and in clamps.

Whew!

I only got one drawer front completed today. It fits nice and tight, the joint needs a touch of finessing, but I ran out of steam and the weather moved in.

Got a good start on hand sawing tenons today. There are no flaws in wood, only features to be exploited.

Good job JDO, how many more do you have to do?

This is the last step. I just have to cut the tenons to width, fit them, and put the fronts on the drawers. Then the finishing, which is part way done.

I finished chopping out the 12 mortises by hand today. Only made myself bleed twice too…lol.

A couple of chisels, and, by extension, the sharpening stone and strop. I think I need some proper mortising chisels.

Thanks for your efforts and continuing to keep up on the issues.

Chopping out mortises by hand. A completely unneeded step as it’s not structural and is going on a plywood backing. It’s just a drawer face. But I am enjoying myself and the process.

Mallet and a chisel. Chopping mortises. Something I enjoy.
