Well I got the drawers to one of the base cabinets assembled and installed.
Then I took a look around the shop and it was in such a state that I decided
to clean it up a little bit. So while I do this, why don't you watch that.
In Part one of this Vanity Dresser build, I assembled the
two base units and cut the drawer sides while those were drying in the clamps.
short work of the dadoes I need for the drawer bottoms.
Make a single pass for each side. Adjust my fence about an eigth of an inch. make a second pass.
Check the fit.
Everything looks good so I'll finish up here.
next I'll cut the drawer bottoms to size.
These eight foot ceilings are a pain in my...ankle. You thought I was going to say it was a pain
in something else didn't you. Naughty you.
Cut to width. Then to length.
I've decided on dowels to assemble the drawers so I need a whole mess of one and a half inch dowels.
Every inch or so should be good on these dowels.
Alright lets assemble some dresser drawers.
Once I got a couple dowels set I realized I could remove the clamps and do that last dowel.
That'll clean up nice with some light sanding.
Now I can slide the bottom in place.
And finish up the other side.
Sand everything flush and then I'll take a sponge to those top edges. I'm not trying
to round over anything over, just take the bite out of them.
Once that's done I'll start cutting the face fronts to rough length. This is a solid piece
of one by eight oak.
I'll cut em a quarter inch longer than I need and then take them over to the table saw and
make a pass to square up one side.
Then I'll do a final measurement, add a stop block and square up the other side.
A quick check to make sure everything came out ok.
Now I'll chamfer the edges. Have I mentioned I like simple? and easy...I like simple and easy.
A friend of mine came over one day and said someone gave him an old bed frame that had
storage underneath. He was going to break it down for firewood and asked if I wanted
any of the hardware from it.
Ahhhh....yeah!!! I'll find a use for those.
I'll just clean these up a little bit and they'll work just fine.
There, use found.
I know the overhang measurements so I'll mark those.
Lay the drawer on top and line em up with the marks.
Evan though I didn't get to staining I'd say she's still coming along pretty well.
I'll get to that next time, maybe start adding some trim pieces and I've gotta start thinking
about the top as well.
