INSTALL THE FILLERS

Glue and screw the chamfered fillers (S) 4" from the bottom, and the Create a tight joint with the mitered scrap and base front (T), then

unchamfered fillers flush with the bottoms of the sides (M). mark the length of the base front at the face-frame stile (A).

Lay out the 2" radius and several points in the arc. Connect the dots and radius with a sweeping line. Cut and sand to the line.

Draw a centerline on the base front (T). Trace around the template on one side, then flip the template and draw the other half.

Mount the drawer half of the slides on the bottom edge of each side (G), flush with the front of the drawer.

TRIM IT UP AND APPLY A FINISH

Plane stock for the fillers (S) to fit the gap between the edge of the face-frame stiles (A) and the sides (M). Rip the fillers to width [Drawing 8] and crosscut them to fit between the rear face of the stile and the rear edge of the sides. To dress up the visible edge, rout a W } chamfer on two of the fillers, then glue and screw the fillers in place [Photo S].

Cut the base front (T) 2" longer than the cabinet's width, and the base sides (U) 2" longer than the cabinet's depth, and rout 3 /s" round-overs along the top edges [Drawing 8]. Miter one end of each piece and a 3 /4x3 1 /2xl2" piece of scrap. Clamp the base front and the scrap to the cabinet and mark the opposite end of the base front [Photo T].

Miter-cut the base front (T) to length, then clamp the base pieces around the

cabinet. Mark the length of the base sides (U), and crosscut them. On a piece of 1 /4" hardboard, lay out a 1" grid and transfer the Base Front Pattern to it [Drawing 9, Photo U].

Adams' Insight: Don't worry about matching the exact shape of the pattern; instead, work for a smooth, flowing line close to what's shown.

Cut and sand the template to shape, then use it to lay out the profile on the base front (T) [Photo V]. Cut and sand the profile, then glue the base pieces around the carcase.

Screw the drawer half of the slides to the drawers [Photo W], then mount the cabinet portion of the slides to the face frame only.

With the drawer faces (I) facedown on your bench, position the drawer boxes (F/G/H) on the faces W from the bottom edge and centered side-to-side. Drive screws from inside the drawer to secure the faces. Clamp a drawer in place [Photo X], position the drawer-slide rear brackets and tack them in place. Test the drawer operation, then drive the bracket screws. Repeat this for the remaining drawer. Install the hinges in the doors [Photo Y], then hang the doors [Photo Z].

Cut the top (V) to size from 3 /4" plywood [Drawing 8]. Cut the front trim (W) and side trim (X) to width and 2" overlength, and rout W round-overs on the top and bottom edges.
