Well after doing over 60 mortises something like 20 sliding dovetails and cutting something close to 70 pieces the chest is finally glued up. Now you can actually see all 24 drawer boxes. It is finally starting to take shape beyond just a huge box. Here is a quick pic.
I was chatting with Chris earlier today and he asked about the jointery for the 3 way intersections. Since this is an important part of the case jointery I figured I'd snap a quick detail pic.
Now I've got at least 2 weeks of drawer cutting and sizing after a few minutes of mounting the drawer runners. :eusa_doh: :eusa_doh: Tomorrow I start planing the maple down. :icon_thum
Thanks for viewing.
