Beautiful work, Dave!!!!!!!!:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap

I too would like to know a little more about the drawers???

Perhaps if you just counted up the of people voting for "NO PAINT" and passed that along to the recipients would be enough to convince them to leave it just as it stands .....showing off its true colors!!!!!

May I join the others when I say how nice the cabinet turned out. The wood is new to me but beautiful, as to the waste of space within the cabinet, when you make something for family member, they will only see the beauty of the piece not the extra space. Let's hope no one thinks to put paint anywhere near it, you will be the first one to cry and they might not get another gift from you. Lorraine

I am about to start some drawer construction so would like to know more about how you did those.

I too would like to know a little more about the drawers???
Wayne

Not exactly sure what y'all want to know. The drawer construction is pretty simple. I made a mortise with a 3/8" Forstner bit that accepts the 3/8" drawer sides. And used a 3/8" x 3/16" rabbet on the back of the sides for the back joint



The bottoms are 1/4" Oak ply (scrap wood) that is glued on the front and back.

The drawers are guided by L shaped runners spanning the web frame that keep it in line, and a kicker glued to the underside of the web frame to keep them from tipping forward. The drawer sides are 1/16" smaller than the face frame opening, and this keeps them in place more than the kicker. I decided to go with overlay drawers to maximize the inside drawer space. They overlay an inch on the sides and 1/2 inch on the top and bottom. The top two drawer fronts are 4" tall, the next 5" and the bottom 6". That came from quite a bit of sketching trial and error to find a nice graduated drawer size, that fit within the front size, and didn't use a board wider than 6" (limit of my jointer), I didn't want to rip and glue to make a larger front.


Does that cover it?:-D

[Travis Porter]

Turned out great Dave. I am with you on the painting. I refuse to paint when at all possible.

 

[JackLeg]

Nice work, Dave! I'd just tell the parents that paint will rot that particular wood. It needs to breathe!!! Anything but paint!:eusa_naug:eusa_naug:eusa_naug

Dave -

Just don't forget to remind them that spalted quartersawn Beech (Fagus grandiflora) is paint soluable. They can paint the cabinet if they want, but all that will be left in about 6 months is a pool of paint and 4 metal drawer handles. . . . It looks great now, ask if they would be more interested in stripping the other pieces of furniture rather than painting this one.
