A Tip From Our Builder

Center the bit between two fences that capture the dividers. A stopblock controls the length of the slot.

them into the mating dadoes in the drawers for compartmentalized storage.

Now, make a carcase to fit the drawers

-4 Cut the sides (G) to an oversize width I of 1l-W, and the top and base (H) to an oversize width of 12W; both to the length shown in the Bill of Materials. Chuck a chamfer bit in your router. Then rout W chamfers on the front inside edges of the sides and both ends and front edges of the top and base, as shown on the Exploded View drawing.

2 Rip off the chamfered edges of the sides (G) to the width listed for the side trim (I), and those of the top and base (H) to the width listed for the top and base trim (J). Mark the mating pieces for reassembly later, as shown in Photo B. With the edges just ripped against your tablesaw fence, cut parts (G) and (H) to final width.

3 Install a W dado blade in your table-saw, and cut dadoes for the sides in the top and base (H), where shown on the Parts View drawing.

Note: Measure the outside width of your drawers. The dimension between the dadoes in the top and base (H) must be '/&" greater. Make any necessary adjustments to the location of the dadoes for a good fit.

Cut the rabbets for the back (N) in the inside back edges of the sides (G). Next, cut the rabbets on the ends of the sides so they fit snugly into the dadoes in the top and base. Finally, rout a stopped rabbet between the side dadoes in the top and base. See the Top and Parts View.

4 Prepare to cut the drawer guide dadoes in the sides (G) by making an indexing strip W wide and IOV2" long that fits snugly in a Va" dado and a

Index marks on a piece of tape in the path of the cut ensure proper reassembly later.

3 5 /i6 M long spacer block. Install a W dado blade in your tablesaw, and adjust it to cut W deep. Position the rip fence 3 9 /\6 u to the right of the blade. Fit your miter gauge with an auxiliary fence to support the workpiece and reduce tearout. Using the rip fence as a stop, cut the top drawer guide dado in each side.

5 Fit the indexing strip in one of the dadoes you just cut, and place the extra drawer side over the strip, engaging the groove in the drawer side. Push the drawer side toward the bottom end of the side (G) to take up the V32" play in the groove, and clamp it in place. Position the 3 5 /ic->" spacer
