Pre-finishing the inside of the drawers will save the nightmare of trying to get an even, drip/ run-free finish applied in all those corners. Note the short biscuit slots in in the end (taped off from finish to keep bare wood where the glue will go), and the full-length slot close to one edge of each.<br />

The drawer bottoms are sized to be 1/4" bigger (on each side, 1/2" total) than the inside of the drawer. The slots in the sides are 1/4" deep - if all goes well, when glued up it will be one solid "piece" of wood. Since this is all plywood, the bottoms will be glued in - there's no need to allow for wood expansion/ contraction in plywood this small.</td></tr>

I guesstimated about 50', bought a 50' roll, and was very mindful of keeping the offcuts small. Ran out on the LAST side of the last cab - I'm 30" short. Did some math to figure out if the roll was short, somehow you're looking at 49 + feet of banding in this pic, and I have 30" (of 60" needed) still left. They didn't short me, they over-ed me. </div>stevehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16865364479881938306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433960116916971791.post-67163629508405076172011-04-17T17:38:00.000-04:002011-04-17T17:38:34.061-04:00Closing on the sandwich...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZS-RwBEUo3OSWhBkULuqsyQrbEr3GV_h8aYZaz4LiKSRkkSG-yxVcM_M1_WRMQY1hHe-uPdzSf9txW_o9rJQNOXz4OXfeSLnn0LhEfbNtN_YvSJbaL76VlQXAAwJQ0O2p9uQVnnPvkzc/s1600/IMG_0347.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZS-RwBEUo3OSWhBkULuqsyQrbEr3GV_h8aYZaz4LiKSRkkSG-yxVcM_M1_WRMQY1hHe-uPdzSf9txW_o9rJQNOXz4OXfeSLnn0LhEfbNtN_YvSJbaL76VlQXAAwJQ0O2p9uQVnnPvkzc/s320/IMG_0347.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Room to work: 4 or 5 cabinets layed out for finish.<br />

She took over the office and the desk was banished to the formal living room.<br />Here it is loaded on the back of a truck, going to a new owner in New Jersey.<br /><br />All of last WWing season was lost moving our business, now our house is on the market. The desk was the first of several big chunks of furniture we're trying to get rid of to go.<br /><br />Not clear whether I'll have a shop for much longer, and if I don't, if I'll store tools or sell everything off.<br /><br />: (stevehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16865364479881938306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433960116916971791.post-67527040237778030072010-04-13T00:52:00.001-04:002010-04-13T00:52:47.079-04:00Uh... hmmm...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLoUOa6B8UFO91LC2mEPZJJeJq7x23zOGbxbltbVg6h_7NBgvLHxjLjK617mTMjL0_DQlqnnDlX9NBSMwXJXVc6Rfb8MJFEYhfnQNDRegaETyBRN06VAUvj-mbKA3MHpEF8UjXx-q80qY/s1600/100_3422.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLoUOa6B8UFO91LC2mEPZJJeJq7x23zOGbxbltbVg6h_7NBgvLHxjLjK617mTMjL0_DQlqnnDlX9NBSMwXJXVc6Rfb8MJFEYhfnQNDRegaETyBRN06VAUvj-mbKA3MHpEF8UjXx-q80qY/s400/100_3422.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459480474072479394" border="0" /></a>stevehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16865364479881938306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433960116916971791.post-70082566175279791442010-03-14T22:42:00.009-04:002010-03-26T13:52:56.749-04:00Time is the enemy<a href="http://steve68steve68.blogspot.com/search?q=link+tacular">I've vowed to never post worthless musings.</a> I break that vow today for a few notes for my own memory.<br />1. Attended the Reading, PA woodshow with Kent last Sunday. It was more about the ride than the woodworking, but I hoped to meet a few woodnet guys there. I wound up spending most of my time there with <a href="http://www.acanthus.com/zen_cart/">Chuck Bender.</a> Chuck, it turns out, knows his stuff. He builds, he designs, he teaches, and is about as approachable a woodworking guru as I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.<br /><br />2. Chuck was doing a hand-cut dovetail demo and offering to let some spectators in on the action. Despite my "scribing like a girl" (Chuck's exact words), excavating a cave between my tails, and being the world's worst hand-sawyer (which Chuck fixed in two or three sentences), I was able to produce... let's call them "passable"... thruDT's in pine.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQoYWPzTCBk0MQabydX415nBxph-S_0pHEDsLkYOxdhZ2t-5pyDJwC_ZrC3bTIyOGrKiB7zfTSvwM72suUvKr6Tl_sOb4ueRCX-Y-f7D-pewDXwftClIJS2rfm_bp8m0OpnnM-PMYoq0k/s1600-h/IMG_0396.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQoYWPzTCBk0MQabydX415nBxph-S_0pHEDsLkYOxdhZ2t-5pyDJwC_ZrC3bTIyOGrKiB7zfTSvwM72suUvKr6Tl_sOb4ueRCX-Y-f7D-pewDXwftClIJS2rfm_bp8m0OpnnM-PMYoq0k/s400/IMG_0396.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448684307079575666" border="0" /></a>Note the saw marks on the inside surfaces of the pins and tails - they fit together right off the saw - no trimming/fitting:<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyPZnyXzwhVEC1zvNOvtTGhcAqciF-ogijE1rafnENpXfRKYq2jNnTpGp2HGjkUvrf0u7ahS8OUDDU43meQ7lQP0vKtY46cA_TmlCSHmSU7Vob6FIYoGrEeMfW-Pdzuu_ZtKGRWzv94tE/s1600-h/IMG_0393.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyPZnyXzwhVEC1zvNOvtTGhcAqciF-ogijE1rafnENpXfRKYq2jNnTpGp2HGjkUvrf0u7ahS8OUDDU43meQ7lQP0vKtY46cA_TmlCSHmSU7Vob6FIYoGrEeMfW-Pdzuu_ZtKGRWzv94tE/s400/IMG_0393.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448685332544214626" border="0" /></a>3. I was stoked to see a series of articles about design on Chuck's blog, and also that he teaches carving - a class I'd love to take. His shop is in or near Pottstown - certainly do-able.<br /><br />4. Armed with new desire to own an actual, for real, DT saw, I slathered over the <a href="http://www.veritastools.com/Products/Page.aspx?p=504">Veritas DT in 20 tooth rip</a>, and made a few ridiculously perfect, effortless cuts with it at the Veritas booth. If you're reading this, and you have $65, you should buy this saw and send it to me.<br /><br />5. Give the job to a busy person: today is my second day off since about November 2009. By "off," I mean I left work at 11AM. Since then I scrubbed the kitchen, entry way, and powder room floors; folded a bunch of laundry and did a load; had lunch and did a load of dishes; installed the 18T front sprocket on the<a href="http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-sf2p/v645/143/16/1568425312/n1568425312_30114114_4786662.jpg"> Vee; </a>and still had time to single-handedly get this monster down the basement stairs and largely assembled (it runs):<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhescPETVH8IfBSoe1FgvuotSBNm1kVQT_anCSSBlTbN_mnohGVVuBuYy6R_X1va1ZlFpMMTkg_ShvrY3-HJragy_XRCw0hTEWe3TVH7dppz7nImqnCWTUp3DKswGP2uQwLO69PXkCFB6s/s1600-h/IMG_0397.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhescPETVH8IfBSoe1FgvuotSBNm1kVQT_anCSSBlTbN_mnohGVVuBuYy6R_X1va1ZlFpMMTkg_ShvrY3-HJragy_XRCw0hTEWe3TVH7dppz7nImqnCWTUp3DKswGP2uQwLO69PXkCFB6s/s400/IMG_0397.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448689647332174130" border="0" /></a>It looks considerably more ridiculous in the context of a tiny shop which already has a table saw stuffed in it:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbNWHTl1_Fx4IDMWiDyuzgYb1As_cEp4GBm65woVGvaDlL18IJ0-Ns4inI-RWX1CqrlgGopHlEx7dr4CBgovURWHjuhdrMTVUhwydp70lrh1dAmO-NTaQkMgT9u37Y2Ixd6HSTyeTCz5Y/s1600-h/IMG_0398.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbNWHTl1_Fx4IDMWiDyuzgYb1As_cEp4GBm65woVGvaDlL18IJ0-Ns4inI-RWX1CqrlgGopHlEx7dr4CBgovURWHjuhdrMTVUhwydp70lrh1dAmO-NTaQkMgT9u37Y2Ixd6HSTyeTCz5Y/s400/IMG_0398.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448690528683193234" border="0" /></a>It's smoooooth.

A slot-cutter was used to route a dado to accept the panel. I only have one bearing for the slot-cutter, so without jigging up something on the router table the depth of cut is limited to the difference between the bit's radius and the bearing's radius. As luck would have it, that depth intruded into the tenon space a little.
