Stairs have been swept:o  floor has been swept....about 4-5 times...

As for that thing on the bench?   That be the second drawer.    Will be fitting it into the top drawer opening, later..

Because for some reason, the first drawers fit in here, better.   Ok, I can tune the second drawer into the top opening.

Have to wait for the glue to dry, first.   had an "issue" with a knot..

knotty.jpg.4b86df85d351f5894075e2d5b93b3589.jpg

Was right where the dado needed to go through....was a bit rough on the Stanley #39....used a Panel saw to better cut the dado's walls..to where the were LEVEL across the width of the board...

66659484_panelsaw.jpg.0db01c6614f1a5cbbcdabde50a8edc88.jpg

A D-8 20", 10 ppi saw.   Was kind of handy.    Clamp to pull the "box" square..

diagonals.jpg.b6f58f9d5aa9d3182ec4b49d93f23512.jpg

This time, I installed the center screw, then pulled things square....then added the others.  laid out the knobs for later..

knobs.jpg.3788d52582222520019d4302acdd6e73.jpg

Centered and set about 5" in from the ends.   A dab of glue is added under each knob.   These come with their own "bolts".

Thinking about using this for the edges of the top....we'll see

Maybe after Supper, I can get a sart on the last drawer?

About 8pm, drawer came out of the clamps.   Planes and sanders went to work..

plane.jpg.203190c54cd3bc1e53b6262458fc65a0.jpg

Worked on both sides of the corners...

1659053522_sidedovetails.jpg.b25227b048b15918523ad559a96fd0af.jpg

Side dovetails, too.   A few high spots were leveled, and a knot was filled in...

knot.jpg.68b2f469945127d9bbcb0ca917a7d1d9.jpg

A little glue and pine sawdust, then hit with the sander a bit.   Laid out for the two knobs..

665909071_knoblayouts.jpg.e0a4fb0de2e2590fe7cab5e71ac8b2b7.jpg

5" in from the edge, and centered on that middle pin.  Glue and the knob's bolt to install....test fitted..

Something didn't look quite right....

gap-osis.jpg.907cad90dfcb8cf30ed313baf5654a8e.jpg

Hmm, well, I did have a thin strip of Pine scrap....I can cut a section, and glue and nail it it to the side of the opening...NOT the drawer.

Got both sides "veneered"..

A little better?   Got the drawer parts out for the last drawer.....piece for the back...became the piece for the the other side..

1909078502_twosides.jpg.bcd054d825f8960e5e2855e785733916.jpg

I wanted two decent boards for the sides.   I got the front all fitted to the opening ( no gaps:angry:)

159007304_frontfitted.jpg.87a17ec3d4a2c59c08915185d8b0cfa8.jpg

I figure I can buy a short "Project Board" of Pine at Lowes for a back.    That one side piece?

bullet.jpg.0ab34bebf0bfe6edfa0a4dd9816e7c62.jpg

Somebody shot a Pine tree a while back....that be a bullet sitting there.   Slightly bigger than a .22.......may leave it there.

At least, I can do the dovetails tomorrow....and see about getting a back.    Almost done..

Stay tuned...

Finally got motivated to go to the shop...about 2pm today....just closed the shop at 6pm.  

1720264479_messybench.jpg.e26eae63630cb896f87f86752fb5b219.jpg

This is what was on the bench, before I started in.....needed to clear things away, in order to work..

1884729838_jiggedup.jpg.31cf8202d94e646bbeef85a69fff0f76.jpg

That's better...As for this jig I use for the Stanley 45?

doggy.jpg.4737e8685fe28b9ef4a0e29ae474b6e0.jpg

One end there is a dog....

clamp.jpg.96a398bc79bedd9c6977c1255261c023.jpg

In the middle, there is a clamp, to keep things from sliding around, or flipping over...

1157398192_onescrew.jpg.dc538482513427535777653e7f4ddad4.jpg

A single screw, in line with the dog, is driven in at an angle, to tighten the part into place....solid as a rock...

Got this groove done...laid out for dovetail pins..

pins.jpg.0f0b11a524c815690de6fe0d74fc2511.jpg

And somehow gained yet another pin?  

744977990_waxthesaw.jpg.1465444da31dac2ef958a8a68567ab9e.jpg

Once all the lay out is done, I lower the board down to run the saw..first, I also wax the saw's plate...makes it easier to saw.

236845060_knifewall.jpg.5c11d39d41a6dd4215984e843162b9da.jpg

Getting ready to chop the waste from the skinny side first.   I run the knife a few times, to create a knife wall...for the chisel to stop at.

Once both ends were sawn, and chopped..time to work on the two side boards..

517112496_squaredup.jpg.dab3b27c5fb924db0958e1a629a8a6d4.jpg

Langdon 75 mitre box to square the ends.   Then mark each for width.

wide.jpg.e98c9dfe4fde9a67d4f15c5400b6c8c0.jpg

Was a tad wide...jack plane to fix that.    Then ganged both up, and planed until they matched.

Making a lot of shavings, today.....

 

Used the "pin board" to lay out for the tails..

tails.jpg.3fbfc56f8e46d08c680bf651b15aae7f.jpg

Saw and chop...Dry fits were tight..

1672638874_dryfits.jpg.2e6c6db44f6bde6301a19073a19837a8.jpg

Had to plane the top edge of the drawer front...then test fit to the case..

Will try to get a board for the drawer's back tomorrow.  Then maybe a little assembly work on the drawer?

Until I know how thick the back will be, I can't really do the dados.    I can, though, get the grooves done in the sides of the drawer.

 

May run the router around a bit, too.   Was too tired to even pick up the last of the shavings..

1708232081_messyfloor.jpg.86a04e9f988701c067340f85ae40fc0d.jpg

Maybe later/

 

Stay tuned...
