Cutting stock for the drawers. |
|
|
It's all cut oversize to be trimmed on the tablesaw with an 80-tooth blade later. The three pieces in the background are all that is left from a whole sheet of 3/4" ply. The three in the front are the "carcass" of the drawers. |

10 runners, planed into oblivion. (7/8" square. I overdid it). |

Side note: When using a screwdriver as a splitter. Make sure that it's tilted AWAY from the sawbade in case it tips over. And if you don't, be sure to stay out of its trajectory (I did). DAMHIKT. |

Trimmed drawer fronts, backs, and sides. |

Changing bits in this table isn't too hard. Back to the 3/4" Ply groove bit. (23/32") |

Oh, almost forgot, I had this speed control laying around. Makes a DANDY remote switch. |
|
|
I don't know why it has a belt clip on it, but that made it easy to mount. |
|
|
This didn't work as well as I hoped. |

They're right. You can't have too many clamps. I don't have too many clamps. That's why I had to do one drawer at a time. |
