Divide and conquer

In this episode, I wrap up the final construction and joinery details of the casework in preparation for glue up. I had a key decision to make with regard to the final layout of the drawers. During the design phase, I had the top two drawer bays getting two drawers, while the bottom two had single drawers. However, this is a great case of where seeing the actual dry assembly can change your mind on a design detail. Of course I would have caught this had I built a prototype for this piece, but I knew I would have ample opportunity to make design changes at several points during this project. But after this episode, you’ll have a rough sense of what the final product will look like. And you may also have a new appreciation for cargo shorts!
