Wasn't much going on, today..so....changed out the blade in the Bandsaw...took about...5 minutes or so...

Next Item...bring out most of the tools I'll be needing....

Too cold for the Shop Fan...but, will make use of the Shop Stool soon enough

Tools?

Most were to do lay outs for Dovetail Pins...and a saw to cut with...2 other tools came out after the saw was done...

Chopped done about halfway, left a porch for support...flip this board over..

And finish chopping out the waste...I do the Show Face first, to prevent "Blow-outs"..then finish up the inside face.

Used these pins to lay out for the tails....Just stand the pin board upright, trace around each pin with a SHARP No. 2 Pencil...

Then, that the tail board over to the Bandsaw, and test out the "new" blade..

All done on the bandsaw.   Then a 1st dry fit was attempted..

Had to use a mallet to seat it into place...will need a bit of fine tuning?   

 

And that was it for shoptime, today

So..the Plan here?   is to dovetail the other corner.   Next use that drawer front blank to space out drawer dividers, and find out how much to trim the 2 long sides...and then dovetail those corners...Blank will need trimmed a bit...

 

Stay tuned..:cowboypistol1:
